Iconic face of France 2, Frédéric Lopez has presented a weekly program on the public channel since 2022, called A Sunday in the countryside. Using the same concept as one of its previous programs, entitled The unexpected parenthesisthis Sunday meeting allows the host to welcome several personalities each week in a bucolic setting, generally conducive to confidences. Sunday October 13, 2024, Frédéric Lopez invited the Belgian comedian Nawell Madani, the emblematic juror of Dancing with the stars, Chris Marques, and former winner of The VoiceAnne Sila, in her show. During the program, the former protégé of Florent Pagny notably mentioned the terrible knife attack of which she was the victim at the hands of her companion shortly before participating in The Voice in 2015.”My boyfriend takes a crazy puff (…). Basically he’s losing his temper, but in the medical sense of the term. He attacks me and my manager with a knife“, she first explained.
“I took 12 stab wounds in total. And my manager too”then made a point of specifying Anne Sila, which did not fail to shock Chris Marques and Nawell Madani. “He makes a delusional outburst, that is to say that – I specify this because I really very, very rarely talk about this story – it is someone who is ill, very probably triggering schizophrenia but we was not aware of it”also indicated the singer, who then saw her companion as both an aggressor and a victim in this story. “From one day to the next, I found myself stunned. I have nothing left. And at that time, it had been three months since Emilie, a cast member of The Voice kept calling me to do the show”Anne Sila also revealed. However, the musician had always refused to participate in the TF1 talent show until then.

“For me it was blasphemy. I played jazz. You can’t do television, it’s a shame.”she notably underlined. In the end, the famous cast of the show called him back to apologize after learning what had happened to him. It was at this precise moment that the singer changed her mind by agreeing to participate in the program. “I don’t live waiting for things to fall apart. I had to go back straight away“, she then declared. During her participation in the fourth season of The Voice in 2015 on TF1, Anne Sila lost in the final. She will try her luck again in 2021 during the all-star edition, which she will win this time.
