In recent months, Stéphane Plaza has found himself in turmoil following accusations of domestic violence by several ex-partners. He was placed under judicial supervision while awaiting his trial which should take place at the end of the summer. But this time, it was a message posted on his Instagram account which raised a lot of criticism.
In fact, the latter announces the establishment of his company Stéphane Plaza Immobilier in the overseas departments. So far, nothing shocking. Except that the real estate agent compares himself to Christopher Columbus, all accompanied by a photograph where we see him piloting a boat. “Such a Christopher Columbus, I am sailing the waves for a new stratospheric adventure: setting up Stéphane Plaza Immobilier in the marvelous overseas islands. Let’s start with Guadeloupe!”.

A reference that goes down badly with the inhabitants of these departments. The president of the Executive Council of Martinique, Serge Letchimy, responded to the host by suggesting that he “change of heading” and take a catch-up lesson on the legacy of Christopher Columbus. “No one can anchor in a port without honoring the memory of its waters. The evocation of this name constitutes an unforgivable insult to our people, Martinique and Guadeloupe.”, he continues on his X account (former Twitter).
Many Internet users were also shocked, not failing to let the host know. Since this controversy, Stéphane Plaza has modified his publication by deleting the mention of the famous explorer.
