In 1985, 39 years ago, the singer was invited to the set of “Game of Truth”. A very bitter memory for the children’s idol.
This Saturday, October 5, Chantal Goya was the guest of “ Facing Hanouna » on C8. She took the opportunity to return to a painful episode in her career.
On December 13, 1985, 39 years ago, the singer was a guest of “ Truth game », a program then broadcast in prime time on TF1 during which Patrick Sabatier allowed spectators or viewers to ask questions to celebrities.
That evening, a teacher asked Chantal Goya “ Do you think it is necessary to appear like a little girl to the children you confine in a stultifying system? “. Faced with such a question, the singer performed her hit “ The Rabbit » in front of the children present in the audience of the show.
A terrible evening which will even have repercussions on the rest of the artist’s career. “ I don’t know if any of you could have suffered the same thing and continued to live normally. I got over it immediately because I am very strong but it caused a lot of pain to Jean-Jacques Debout (her husband, Editor’s note) and to my family. (…) It did us a lot of harm, it prevented Jean-Jacques from working for ten years “, she explained in “ Facing Hanouna ».
« I wasn’t in my world, there were 40 terrible questions ”, she remembered. Before adding: “
When you are a character on a stage and they use it to insult you, it’s very complicated ».

Chantal Goya goes even further and accuses Sabatier’s team of having created false broadcasts with false characters, convinced that the teacher who asked her this famous question was not a real teacher. “ Sabatier’s staff was very organized to make fake shows with fake characters. This fake schoolteacher played the fake pharmacist during Rika Zaraï’s appearance later in “The Game of Truth” “, she said.
39 years later, Chantal Goya is still angry. “ I no longer speak to Patrick Sabatier, it’s over. It is eliminated from my head. Life does a good job of putting people in their place. Where is he now? Nowhere. I’m still here. I have never cheated, I have always been real and I have always defended my audience “, she concluded.
