Biography

Brigitte Simonetta was a stage actress in the 1970s. Her career began on Antenne 2 [fr] in 1977 when she was selected, along with the television presenter Dorothée, to become a continuity announcer on one of the first TV talent shows.[1] She occasionally presented episodes of Récré A2 semaine, a youth program hosted by Jacqueline Joubert, between January 1979 and January 1980. She later became a weather presenter on Antenne 2 in the 1980s. From 1987 to 1989, she hosted the "Environment" segment in Bernard Rapp's weekly show, L'Assiette anglaise [fr].[2]

In 1990 she was hired by RTL to replace Anne-Marie Peysson and present a daily afternoon show. She stayed there until 1993. In the 2000s she was a presenter on the cable channel Santé Vie in the show Femmes-Enfants.

Starting from 2012 she worked at GRDF [fr] as a communications delegate for the Mediterranean region.[1]

Chernobyl disaster

Main article: Consequences of the Chernobyl disaster in France

On 30 April 1986 Brigitte Simonetta announced in the weather report on Antenne 2 [fr]'s news broadcast:[3]

In France, the Azores high-pressure system has developed. The weather forecast indicates that it will remain sufficiently strong until next Friday to provide a genuine protective barrier. It effectively blocks all disturbances coming from the East. However, these forecasts are established for three days; it remains to be seen how long it will take to extinguish the fire.

This commentary was illustrated by a weather map of Europe, on which a STOP sign covered the French border from Nice to Belgium. However, if the positioning of the high-pressure systems and lows was correct, this did not indicate that a protective barrier would be provided. In fact, as early as the following day, 1 May, the noon news broadcast reported that increased radioactivity had been detected in the Southeast. By 2 May, the entire region was affected.[4][5][6]

Brigitte Simonetta took responsibility for the STOP sign. She stated that she had written her commentary alone based on Météo-France's forecasts. In 2019 Brigitte Simonetta, then retired, testified that this episode remains a "sore spot" and that it "directed [her] life," including her professional reorientation in 1993.[7][8]
