Since she was elected Miss France 2025 on December 14, everything has been far from smooth sailing. And the Charlie Hebdo controversy doesn’t help matters for Angélique Angarni-Filopon. This time, it was a former Miss France who reacted.
It’s a start that she would surely have imagined very different. Since she was elected Miss France 2025 on December 14, everything has been far from smooth sailing for Angélique Angarni-Filopon. If the young woman had made a strong impression throughout the competition and particularly during her speech, criticism from Internet users was quick to rear its ugly head. While she had to deal with being banned from participating in the Miss World competition due to her age, it was one of her interviews that earned her the biggest flood of criticism and insults. It was on Sud Radio on January 8, the day after the commemorations of the tenth anniversary of Charlie Hebdo, that a response, or rather a non-response, from Angélique Angarni-Filopon will disturb the greatest number of people. To the question “Are you Charlie?“, looking embarrassed, she preferred not to comment. Charlie Hebdo also reacted as the weekend approached with a drawing signed Juin, entitled “Miss France is not Charlie!“, representing three bearded Islamists holding a sign reading “I am Miss France”. This time, it was a former Miss France who decided to react.
“Break! Quickly done! I need to moan“, writes Vaimalama Chaves, Miss France 2019, on Instagram in Story format. And the 30-year-old young woman explains her indignation upon discovering that her colleague Angélique Angarni-Filopon needs reinforced security after expressing her opinion. She also shares his anger about the lynching which targets Ebony, finalist of Star Academy 2024. “I am tired. As a mixed race, as a former Miss France and especially as a woman, I am tired of reading the racism, the insults and the hatred that ‘freedom of expression’ allows”, writes- She. According to her, it would be a question of reviewing the definitions because “freedom is not the right to spread hatred under the pretext of sharing an opinion“. “The world is going crazy“, the former beauty queen is indignant on the social network. Concerning the Miss France/Charlie Hebdo controversy, she does not mince her words. “How would it be possible to say that a better future is possible when it is intolerable to speak out against blasphemy?shares Vaimalama Chaves. I am not for what happened at Charlie Hebdo. However, I am not for what they are doing. Disrespect is offensive and not everyone can agree with that.”
Vaimalama Chaves gets annoyed: “Angélique has the right to say that she is not Charlie!”
-There is therefore no question for her not to support her comrade in this controversy which is causing so much talk. “Angélique has the right to say that she is not Charlie! It is her most fundamental right to exist as she is!“, she continues. “How can anyone dare attack her because she has an opinion? To those who denigrate and are bad, no one would like to be insulted like this. Not even you, explains Vaimalama Chaves to her community. Especially not in mass. Stop, because when it happens to you and it will happen to you because karma does things well, I hope you will have the strength that they have, to keep moving forward.“Everything is said.
Let us recall that Miss France, for her part, had admitted having been “clumsy” in a message published on his Instagram account, stating “obviously, freedom of expression is essential in France”while emphasizing that his function required him to “neutrality on certain subjects“.
