VIDEO – Laury Thilleman on the verge of tears: she talks about the recent death of her grandmother

Although Laury Thilleman is known for her joie de vivre, which earned her the title of beauty queen in the Miss competition in 2011, the young woman has not been spared from trials. Last April, she announced to her fans that she had said goodbye to her grandmother Yvonne, who was 96 and had Alzheimer’s and had been with her for twelve years. A painful loss for the ex-partner of chef Juan Arbelaez, about whom she had remained silent since then. But this Friday, September 20, on the eve of World Alzheimer’s Day “dedicated to the sick but also to all those around them, the caregivers”as Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine explained on the set of C to Youthe new presenter of Rendezvous in unknown land spoke about this death, not without emotion.

After an introduction from the host of the daily France 5 show, Laury Thilleman was confronted with images of her and her “Grandma Yvonne”. Tender videos that did not fail to revive the young woman’s memories. On the verge of tears, but still with a smile on her lips, the former Miss France declared: “It’s hard to get me started with these images, it’s the first time I’ve spoken since she left. So I’m going to try to remain dignified.” The bet was met by the beauty, who was able to regain control of the upheaval she was experiencing to call on the public to C to You to make donations to research into neurodegenerative disease.
