She was the last companion of Serge Gainsbourg. Bambou reveals herself in an autobiography in which she looks back on her childhood tinged with violence, but also her relationship with the artist.
For our colleagues from Paris Matchshe thus confided in the abject behavior of those around the singer: “I never liked this world of showbiz where I found, certainly in a different form, the same wickedness as among the Thénardiers. A small, petty, racist universe.
For everyone, I was the junkie, I was “the young one” who was with Serge for the money”,
she denounces with bitterness.
The violent attitude of Serge Gainsbourg's entourage with Bambou
Worse still, those close to the singer “waited for Serge to be drunk so that I can no longer defend myself from throwing rubbish at me like: 'Young people are only good in bed.' I took my bag and went to the bathroom to cry. I waited there until Serge was ready to leave. Catherine Deneuve is the only person who came to console me during one of these dinners”she remembers.
And as our colleagues at Paris
Matchthe same people who criticized Bambou were
present at the funeral of Serge Gainsbourg, died March 2, 1991.
His secrets about Charlotte Gainsbourg
Courageous and dignified, Bambou never showed her anger: “I wasn't going to give them that pleasure. It would have been losing. There is no greater contempt than ignorance. Like I still do today. The only ones I have remained very close to are Jane and Charlotte”she reveals about Jane Birkin and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
“But with Charlotte, it’s different: it’s the Gainsbourg clan. I knew Charlotte when she was 5 and a half years old. I taught her to embroider, to cook… She was a child who wanted to do something different every ten minutes. It required a lot of imagination. I took him to the funfair, to the Luxembourg Gardens. I rediscovered my childhood with her.
She is and remains like my little sister”. Very touching statements from the one who had a destructive relationship with Serge Gainsbourg.
