The French model and singer Bambou decided to speak to discuss her arrival in the Gainsbourg clan and her special relationship with Charlotte, the singer's daughter.
Caroline Elisabeth Paulus known as Bambou, last companion of the famous singer Serge Gainsbourg, reveals herself in a long autobiography Step by step in the night, available this Friday, November 8, 2024. Throughout the pages she looks back on her childhood as well as her relationship with the singer and those around her.
As part of this publication, she spoke during an interview with our colleagues at Paris Matchparticularly on the behavior of a former close friend of the artist. “I never liked this world of showbiz where I found, certainly in a different form, the same nastiness as among the Thénardiers. A small, petty, racist universe. For everyone, I was the junkie, I was “ the young one” who was with Serge for the money”, he explains, as relayed Closer.
A violent attitude from those around you
Bambou also reveals during the interview that those close to the singer “waited until Serge was drunk so that I could no longer defend myself and spouted nonsense like: “Young people are only good in bed”, then I went to cry in the toilet. I waited there until Serge was ready Catherine Deneuve is the only person who came to console me during one of these dinners.”
Bambou explains that she decided to stay strong and dignified and never show her anger. “I wasn't going to do them that pleasure. There is no greater contempt than ignorance. The only ones I've remained very close to are Jane and Charlotte.” The latter also remained for her “like a little sister”.
