The subject is serious, and according to Maëva Coucke the winners of the Miss France competition are not sufficiently prepared for it. The one who was crowned in 2018 decided to speak out to denounce the cyberharassment and cybersexism of which she herself is a victim in the France 2 program “In the eyes of Olivier”, broadcast on Wednesday January 22.
“It’s the first time that a miss has spoken about it openly, and with hindsight,” she explains to La Voix du Nord. I want to help raise awareness about cyberbullying. This is not a subject to be taken lightly, victims commit suicide. This is happening, we cannot normalize it, accept it, especially as it gets worse. »
And added: “We thought we had reached the summit with Ève Gilles, and we realize that not with Angélique, where racist remarks are mixed in. We are not prepared for this. » The 2024 beauty queen had been criticized for her short haircut and her physique. The winner of 2025 is attacked on her age, 34, or because she refused to say if she was “Charlie”.
Criticisms “that I had to face in college”
Maëva Coucke says she suffered a lot of criticism about her physique, sending her back to very difficult years when she was not comfortable with her body. “They threw at me the criticisms (broomstick, skeleton) that I had had to face in college,” she recalls. With the added difficulty this time that they did not come from children, but from adults.
-The beauty queen also explains having received many inappropriate photos and videos from men. “Becoming a public figure, you discover that a lot of people are unhealthy,” she adds.
Despite a very good year of reign and a caring community, his fight is to remind people of the dangers of cyberharassment and the importance of not normalizing it. “I know that by speaking out, I will catch a wave behind,” she emphasizes. But for her, the game is worth it.
