Two years ago, his whole world was falling apart. While she had a recurring column in the morning of France 2, a joke did not get through. The trial on the Nice attack, which occurred on July 14, 2016 on the Promenade des Anglais and caused the death of 86 people is opening. The comedian, who has carte blanche, chooses to bounce back from the news. But his assumed preference for black humor and second degree in a subject as sensitive as the attacks shocks the public. The one who describes the terrorist as “Ricky Martin of the Azure Coast”, stating (under the cover of humor, of course), that if he hit his wife, it was because “she had perhaps looked for him”, or joking about zoophilia, shocks viewers and Internet users.
Neither one, nor two, the public service complies and presents its deepest apologies to the public, regretting “that a humorous column rightly offended many viewers.” Alexandra Pizzagali loses her position on the show presented at the time by Julia Vignali et Thomas Sotto. Following this “bad buzz”, the actress was also disowned by France Inter, lost the support of her press officer, and that of the public who gradually turned away from her. On the Internet, she is the victim of a heavy campaign of harassment. In a portrait made by Le Parisien this Sunday, November 24, 2024she recalls the dark years that have passed since the day she lost everything.
Alexandra Pizzagali's descent into hell
“It was so rehashed that I ended up believing it. We are talking about five major wounds in human beings: humiliation, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, injustice. Five in one, like a shampoo, I got them all at once”, she admits, referring to the criticism of her supposed lack of talent made on social networks. Remarks that impact his entire life: our colleagues talk about anxiety attacks, date cancellations, suicidal thoughts. “When people ask me how I’m going, I make joke after joke, I don’t realize how much it affects me. It is very pernicious”specifies the young woman. So much so that she is considering ending her life to resolve the situation. “I didn't see any happy prospects in a week, a year, ten years. I say to myself: Eureka, I found it. As I believe in reincarnation, I I'm going to stop this life and move on to the next“, she remembers. Only the thought of her parents keeps her from doing the irreparable: “I haven't found a way for them not to be sad. Their potential pain saved me. People who act out, it’s not that they don’t have empathy, it’s just that they’ve gone a little deeper in terms of suffering.”, explains the actress who is back on stage this Monday, November 25, 2024, at the Atelier, in Paris. “Even if the room is not quite full, I have a feeling this date will be nice,” announces the one who has rediscovered the hope of a better life, with, at the center, still her desire to write. Our colleagues are talking about a second show, already in preparation, which will be called, as an echo of his life, Infinite sweetness of complaining tomorrows.
