Lou's mother notably spoke about her long battle with eating disorders.

“It’s no longer a secret, I talked about it (in his book Tout, published in September 2022, Editor’s note). I talk about it because it can open a door or extinguish a silence, allow communication. There are many people who suffer from eating disorders. It's more or less taboo, I would tell you. Especially at a certain age,” begins by confiding the ex-partner of Patrick Fiori. Before continuing: “It happened to me late, I was 30 years old so it was complicated to be a person defined as being mature, adult, and who suddenly suffered from this real problem.”

Lara Fabian touching on her eating disorders: “There is nothing stronger than will”

Lara Fabian then remembers the days when she only ate a quarter of an apple. “I cut an apple into seven wedges and there was the name of each day of the week on a little toothpick with a little flag. Sometimes there was this and sometimes there was quite the opposite. she explains to Nathalie Lévy. When the presenter asks her how she managed to overcome her eating disorders, the interpreter of I'm sick confides that it was the sorority that helped him get through it: “What comes to mind very strongly is really a woman's pearl necklace. Women who followed one after the other. There are Lises, Suzannes, Isabelles, Lines, Noës. I see all his faces.” The artist concludes with beautiful words: “There is nothing stronger in life than the desire to get better, it opens the door to everyone who is ready to help you”. A message that could help more than one person.
