Score-settling alert behind the scenes at the Star Academy. During a live broadcast on the Internet, a former participant in the TF1 TV show has just lifted the veil on an aspect that is anything but pleasant in her life after Dammarie-les-Lys…
Star Academy: this former candidate talks about the post-show: she often called the show's shrink until the day…
The rest after the ad
Since last October the Star Academy made his return to TF1. So for several weeks viewers have been tapping on their phones to save sometimes Ulysses, sometimes Charles, with large bursts of SMS and calls for votes on social networks. It is precisely on these same social networks that a few days ago, three former members of the famous TF1 talent show lifted the veil on the backstage of the show, a backstage that is not so attractive… On the account Itsonlytv of the X network (formerly Twitter), Jean-Luc Guizonne (season 5), Magalie Vaé (winner of season 5) and Cyril Cinélu (winner of season 6) discussed the dark side of the Star Ac' medal.
The first to draw is Magalie Vaé, who affirms that psychological follow-up in the face of the Star Academy upheaval would only be offered during the stay at the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. “I've had the psychologist often, declares the big winner of the fifth season of the show. We tell you, when you go out: You can continue to see her. What I wanted to do because, when you get out, your life changes completely. But there, it's at your expense, but we don't tell you that…” A first inconsistency between the promises that would be made at the Château and the reality, once back home, with pressure from the media and other harassment on the Internet.
Magali Vaé sent for weight loss treatment as soon as she left the castle.
It must be said that post-Star Academy was not easy for Magalie Vaé. Bad surprise for the production of the show, its victory thanks to the public catapulted it into a bath more icy than anything else. Asked by Here Paris in 2013, the young woman did not mince her words. “The network and the record company were not pleased. After the show, instead of making me turn (…) I was asked to leave two months of weight loss treatment, she remembered. I am aware that my first album was made too quickly, I had no say at the time. I thought I didn't have broad enough shoulders to take on this job.” Hence the importance of psychological follow-up, especially once you leave the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys.
However, it seems that this follow-up was slight, if not non-existent. A sad observation shared by his two interlocutors during their conversation broadcast on X. “Me, I think that Star Ac’ is very beautiful, but the post-Star Ac' destroyed a lot of candidates“considers Cyril Cinélu. Same story with Jean-Luc Guizonne. “Because of a lack of supervision, support, benevolence, ultimately, of this production which puts on a mask when it comes to selling you the thing and who takes off his mask to show you disrespect.”
Magalie Vaé: her first child treated as a “calf” by Sébastien Cauet
Magalie Vaé will never forget this very bad taste joke from Sébastien Cauet who, when she had just given birth to her little Elia in 2011, compared the singer's first child to a “calf”. Often criticized for her physiquethe singer released a press release co-signed with the little one's dad in which she wrote about the host currently in turmoil: “His words are not an example for his listeners and incite words which, addressing the birth of a baby – which is in itself the most beautiful thing in the world – can only be described as disobliging towards all new mothers.”
Still on the Itsonlytv de X thread, Cyril Cinélu is not kind to the production of the Star Academy. Also a winner, he had to show incredible mental strength to keep his head held high. “When you are twenty years old and someone says to you: 'You will be a singer, you will be a hit, you will give everything, how do you want to understand, when the blow has died down, that you have to go work at Zara ?’he asks himself. You can't, actually. There's no such thing as a stupid job, but the guy who was told: 'You'll be a singer', it no longer comes out of his head. And as he says: 'I'm no longer a singer and I've missed my life'it goes into a depression.”
Magalie Vaé: “Being a singer is not about being on TV”
The same goes for Magalie Vaé who faced the contradictions of what she would have been promised behind the scenes of TF1 prime times and the reality once released into the wild. “I was still told: “She sings at weddings,” she says on X. So yes, you don't appear on TV, you stay in your field and, because you're not invited on the sets, even though it's not your fault, because you don't appear on the radio, It's not your fault, well actually, you're a big shityou suck, you need to stop. And why do I have to stop? Being a singer isn't about being on TV, a singer is about being on stage.”
Magalie Vaé, Cyril Cinélu and Jean-Luc Guizonne continue to take to the stages, microphone in hand, passion in their stomachs. Because despite the criticisms mentioned concerning the show which made them known, each of these artists retains above all a love of the profession. Let us also remember that these comments only concern these three personalities who participated in the Star Academy. At the same time, dozens of candidates have never expressed the slightest negative point concerning during or after Star Academy.
