This summer, Korine Côté announced sad news regarding her personal life, namely that she was no longer in a relationship with Simon Cohen, her partner of the last 15 years.
In this sense, as part of a new episode of the podcast by comedian Alexandre Barrette, Don’t forget your toothbrushshe opened up for a rare time on the circumstances of her breakup, as well as the repercussions on Henri, her 5-year-old son. She also confides that she had to face several misogynistic comments on social networks following the announcement of her separation. In response to the fact that many told her that 80% of separations were caused by women, she retorted:
« Honestly, I could fight for that. I tried so hard, I worked so hard! Sometimes I would say no to things to try to have more time at home. Sometimes, I was doing radio and I had to make dinner before leaving, at 10 a.m., so that it would be ready in the evening, because Simon was no longer able to keep busy. . Depression is violent. He wasn’t capable of taking care of himself, nothing. »
The touching exchange between Korine and Alexandre also gave rise to a wonderful discussion on mental health within the couple, on social networks, where several confided to having experienced a similar situation within their own household, congratulating in passing the comedian for remaining strong.
