Karl Stefanovic gives scathing view of French people while covering 2024 Paris Olympic Games

Channel 9’s Karl Stefanovic has delivered his verdict on the French people while covering the Paris Games, saying they are rude, pompous and sexually weird. Read the full rant.

Karl Stefanovic has delivered his verdict on the French - they’re rude, weird and pompous.

Despite living it up in Paris while working for Channel 9, Stefanovic couldn’t hide his disdain.

“The French are weirdos. The French are complete weirdos. We all know that,” Stefanovic told the Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday.

He added: “They’re kind of a weird nation, sexually.”

Host Jackie Henderson asked if he’d tried to speak French and Stefanovic delivered a blunt response.

“Do you know what? I’ve stopped trying. I don’t really like them that much,” Stefanovic said.

“They’re so rude. Oh, they’re really up themselves… they’re pompous. They do a good burger though. I do like the burgers and stuff over here.”

Stefanovic, who is staying in sponsored accommodation from Airbnb with wife Jasmine and daughters Harper and Willow, said he turned full bogan overseas.

He hosted the opening ceremony and said it was bizarre how they kept it so secret, but admitted he enjoyed the “blue Smurf with his aggots hanging out”.

Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic dined with the Eiffel Tower backdrop at Girafe.

“I mean, it just doesn’t get better,” he added.

The Stefanovics last week enjoyed a dinner at the lavish Girafe Restaurant and Jasmine thanked Channel 9 on social media.

Some followers left comments critical of the post in the wake of redundancies at the network - which quickly disappeared.

Jasmine has also been at the swimming and other events, along with her sister Jade, while Stefanovic took time out over the weekend for a day at Euro Disney with the family.
