Corentin Moutet, a Frenchman who is going viral for his foul-mouth, is facing a potential severe fine from the ATP for dropping numerous f-bombs during a stunning live television interview on BBC. The scene took place at Queen’s Club.
Jenny Drummond, an interviewer, was forced to issue an apology to TV viewers following Moutet saying the “F” word an incredible seven times.
Moutet, 27, had just defeated fellow Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at the HSBC Championships over three sets, doing so in a match that resumed from the evening hours Monday. (RELATED: FIFA Willing To Let President Trump Give World Cup Trophy To Winning Team’s Captain: REPORT)
He was asked regarding Mpetshi Perricard managing to save a match point with a second serve that hit 142 mph, to which Moutet responded, “When he hits me at 142, I was like f*ck!”
After Drummond requested Moutet, “no F-bombs please,” Moutet said back, “F*ck f*ck f*ck!”

“No, no, no,” said Drummond, going on to apologize for the foul language. In front of the Queen’s Clubhouse, children were seated.
“I’m going to ask one more question so please keep it clean,” Drummond then said. However, when it was time for Moutet to respond, he gave another “f*ck f*ck f*ck!” with a grin. From there, Drummond ended the interview early.
After the cameras went to the studio, host Clare Balding stated, “And just to repeat those apologies for everyone watching BBC Two and iPlayer,” per ESPN.
“Corentin Moutet living up to his bad-boy image. ‘Chaos makes the muses’ is what he wrote on the camera screen there. It’s a tattoo that he has as well. And, yep, chaos is what he can create.”
The ex-British number one, co-host Annabel Croft branded the behavior from Moutet as “appalling.”
