“She will have to go through months of rehabilitation before she is able to head back to work,” said Radio-Canada in a press release.
Besides being a crime reporter, Richer was a host on Radio-Canada’s crime and justice show “Sous la Loupe” and was set to co-host the popular investigative show “Enquête” alongside Marie-Maude Denis this upcoming season.
“We are convinced Isabelle will be able to host both shows as planned, although perhaps not at the very beginning of the 2015-2016 season,” said Michel Cormier, Radio-Canada’s head of TV News and Current Affairs in a statement.
The #LachePasIsa is trending as Richer’s colleagues and supporters are taking to Twitter to send messages of encouragement.
