During the “Star Academy” bonus broadcast on TF1 on Saturday November 23, Masseo had to pack his bags. The youngest candidate in the promotion was no match for Maïa and Ulysse and was eliminated. But his departure from the show was not the only slap the student received during the evening.
For several weeks, he had formed an inseparable duo with Julie, the 19-year-old candidate from Vaud. Under the spell, Masseo, 18, even confided that he wanted to sleep with her and kiss her. How would she react to his ouster?
Saturday, live, after they both sang “Quelques mots d’amour”, the resident of Carrouge made it clear that their relationship was not the one she was probably hoping for. “Masseo is my best friend in adventure. He’s my little brother, and without you it would be really, really hard,” Julie said. Ouch.
Sunday, in the daily, the one who made her first Zenith a week ago was able to open the letter left by Masseo in the event of elimination. Then, she confided: “It’s complicated because with Masseo we got a lot closer this week. But, at the same time, it gives me strength and I want to fight and succeed in getting a place on the tour. Like that, I say to myself, I’m doing a little revenge for him too.
And added: “I don’t really have the right to let myself be completely defeated. I have to pull myself together very quickly because the stakes behind it are still very high.”
