A popular Quebec media personality is suspending his professional activities amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Producer and talk show host Eric Salvail made the decision Wednesday after Montreal La Presse published a story with allegations from 11 people who said they were either sexually harassed or witnessed such behaviour.

Just hours after the allegations appeared, Salvail said in a statement on his Facebook page he was “deeply shaken” by the allegations against him.
He says he feels a lot of empathy for anyone who may have felt discomfort with his behaviour.
Salvail, 48, says he never intended to offend anyone and will take a few days to take stock of the situation.
