On June 21, 2018, after a series of shuffles in her assignments on the network, Latraverse announced on Twitter that she had resigned from Ici RDI, effective the previous day "to discover new horizons.... Journalism is one of the most beautiful professions in the world, but it must not become a golden cage".
