Ebony Cham from “Star Academy” on TF1 has been the target of a hate campaign since the start of the competition.
JUSTICE – Offensive against “obtuse brains”. The SOS Racisme association announced this Wednesday, January 22 in a press release that it had filed a complaint after the wave of hatred “racist and sexist” suffered for several weeks by the finalist candidate of the Star Academy Ebony Cham.
“A young black woman, originally from Guadeloupe and Martinique, she is affected by oppressions at the root of which skin color and gender are intertwined. Ebony finds herself at the crossroads of several identities which, in the most obtuse minds, equates to illegitimacy in occupying public space and triggers spectacular hatred towards a woman like Ebony, highlighted by her talent.denounces SOS Racism.
The organization claims that “These attacks are orchestrated by a fascist sphere which uses every opportunity to promote a racialized, exclusionary and profoundly reactionary vision of society.” And she is not the only victim. Like the singer, Miss France 2025 Angélique Angarni-Filopon has also been violently attacked since her election in mid-December.
“Don’t judge me,” responded Ebony
It is for this reason that a complaint was filed by SOS Racisme, which “also invites TF1, as broadcaster of the Star Academy, to take concrete measures to prevent and sanction this behavior”.
-Ebony Cham has been the victim of attacks since the start of the broadcast of season 12 of the Star Academy. At the end of December, the channel indicated in a press release that it and the production group Endemol Shine “ will report any hate campaign against candidates and reserve the right to take any legal action..
For the symbol, the young 20-year-old artist sang during Saturday’s prime with only black dancers for one of the scenes. In the episode of the daily newspaper on Monday, she explained: “ It was a message to say, don’t judge me, based on my skin color. When you are a black woman in truth, you have to say what is, in society, life is not like others. I hope little black girls have heard this message and don’t listen to the criticism. That they are proud of their skin color, of their hair, of where they come from. We always need to come and send little messages of tolerance. »
