Internationally successful singer Celine Dion made a remarkable performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. She also recently spoke out about the sexual harassment she suffered.
Celine Dion is one of the most famous singers in the world. An unshakeable star of his songs written by Jean-Jacques Goldman on his return to grace Paris 2024 Olympic Gamespassing through his megatube in the movie Titanic, My Heart Will Go On. Some time ago, a documentary, available on Prime Videotraces the life and work of the Canadian artist. However, this video document, reporting on her illness, does not return to the sexual harassment of which she was a victim. Celine Dion speaks out about a man’s predatory behavior…
Céline Dion: her big comeback at the 2024 Olympics
The rumors were true. Celine Dion made her big comeback during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. And this despite a serious illness which eats away at her every day. It was the singer’s first time back on stage in four years. She has performed live since the Tour Eiffel around 11:00 p.m. on July 26, 2024.
The song performed? Hymn to loved’Edith Piafof course. A strong symbol for the world-renowned sporting event that took place in France. A classic of French song that perfectly suits the crystal clear voice of the singer of So that you love me again. A dream comeback for Celine Dion fans. And the singer who is sick.
Céline Dion, a shocking documentary about the artist
In June 2024, almost a month before the 2024 Olympics, Prime Video unveiled the long-awaited documentary I am Celine Dion. A rare, intimate document detailing the artist’s personal life and career. Two things that very quickly collided in her life as a woman. As a reminder: her impresario René Angélil was also her husband.
But the romance between Celine and René is not the most striking element of the documentary. The scene that has attracted the most attention is that of her violent crisis related to his illness. Celine Dion suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome. And neurological disorder very rare causing a muscle rigidity brutal and uncontrolled. The SPR brought his career to a sudden halt. This September 11, 2024, France 4 broadcasts another documentary: Celine Dion, the soundtrack of her life at 9:10 p.m.
Celine Dion recounts the sexual harassment she suffered
In 2020, as part of the Stand Up program, in which she is involved, Céline Dion admits to having already been the victim of street harassment. “It happened to me backstage, I was meeting people…”, the singer recounts poignantly in a video.A slightly overly demonstrative man places his hand on the small of my back.”
Celine Dion still seems very affected by this harassment. She even says that she “n“did not react at the time” even though she then felt the character “very disturbing” of the situation. Like many victims of harassment and sexual violence, Céline Dion took a long time before speaking out. And to understand that she was the victim.
