“I did not attack the channel”: Firmine Richard breaks the silence after his rant at the Star Academy

Several days after having had a real rant at the Star Academyasking TF1 to allow West Indians to vote, actress Firmine Richard spoke in a video widely relayed on social networks.

For several days, it is not only for her immense filmography that the famous actress Firmine Richard has been talked about. On January 18, the movie star made a surprise appearance alongside Jean-Luc Guizonne during the premiere of the Star Academy. While both were in duplex from the Ebony fanzone located in L'Île-Saint-Denis, Firmine Richard gave a real rant about the non-counting of the votes of the West Indians during the competition. “We must count the votes of the West Indians. It is unacceptable that the votes of the West Indians are not counted.” she declared, with conviction.

A speech which was widely broadcast on the networks and which, visibly, was heard by the first channel. A few days later, it was through a press release published on the Web that TF1 informed that residents of the French Overseas Territories can now vote for the final between Marine and Ebony.

Today, Firmine Richard can boast of having restored fairness among the voters of the Star Academy. A few days after his rant and the opening of votes for Overseas France, it is with the media Lepigetv that the actress wanted to speak. “As the show was broadcast on TF1, it was TF1 which was concerned, but if the show was broadcast on M6 or France Télévisions, I would say the same thing. I didn't attack the channel at all. I served as a transmission belt“she proudly confided.

The septuagenarian then wanted to send a message to Marine's competitor. “Ebony, stay as you are, you have talent and as they say: 'You don't throw a stone at a tree that doesn't bear fruit.' (A Creole saying, editor's note). If you didn't have talent, my daughter, we wouldn't even notice you“, declared Firmine Richard following the cyberharassment, mysoginary and racism of which Thierry Cham's daughter is currently a victim. One thing is certain, Ebony has no shortage of support!
