It was on the set of TPMP that she built her notoriety, Géraldine Maillet became an essential face of Cyril Hanouna's talk show. The ex-model, turned author, does not have her tongue in her pocket to say everything she thinks about the subjects discussed daily on the C8 set.
If she shares her sometimes strong opinions on social facts, the columnist remains discreet about her family life. However, she released a book in which she tells his experience with Alzheimer's disease through his grandmother. In My tiny (Ed. Harper
Collins), Daniel Riolo's partner thanks the nursing staff, while denouncing
a journey strewn with administrative pitfalls for the relatives of the sick.
Géraldine Maillet pays tribute to nursing staff
In the podcast Censorship from our Belgian colleagues at Télépro, Géraldine Maillet speaks with an open heart. The author intends to publish “a declaration of love to caregivers“believing he wanted to humanize all
“the invisible people” who care for patients on a daily basis.
“It's hard to take care of someone who has Alzheimer's. These are hostile, difficult illnesses. There's aggression. It's a world that's a bit perched, a bit elsewhere”she commented, not hesitating to explain, in her book, very personal moments spent alongside her grandmother whom she affectionately calls Mamie Téti.

CensorshipGéraldine Maillet ranted against the meanderings of the French administration. “You go before the judges. Judges are not necessarily human“considered the columnist regarding her grandmother's request for guardianship.
“It’s a kind of big barnum that is crushing us. We have to fill out papers with somewhat Kafkaesque, slightly absurd questionslike: 'could your grandmother come and explain the situation?'”said Géraldine Maillet, who recalled that her grandmother no longer had her right mind and that her behavior was no longer rational. “I don't judge her. Her world has her, it's like that…”insisted Géraldine Maillet, with all the kindness she has for the one she loves “more than anything in the world.”
