“We must separate…”: Nolwenn Leroy’s remarks about Abbé Pierre, whom she knew well, divide

This is a case that has been shaking the media for weeks. Like many French people, Nolwenn Leroy says she is “fallen from the clouds“, upon learning of the accusations of sexual assault against several women targeting Abbé Pierre, revealed in a July report. Patron of the Abbé-Pierre Foundation, the singer, who knew him during his lifetime, was invited to speak about this scandal on the show Dailythis Monday, September 16. But a sentence from the artist caused a problem for some on social networks. A clumsiness that did not go unnoticed.

Like all French people, we are inevitably shocked because we cannot prepare ourselves for this… What can we say except that the fight against housing and insecurity is still more relevant than ever?“, confides the winner of the Star Academy 2currently promoting the series Broceliande (TF1). It is to continue to support this foundation that is so close to her heart that Nolwenn Leroy made comments that were singled out by some Internet users.We must always support the foundation and separate, I would say the man that Abbé Pierre could be from his work and the fight that he led, the message that he carried.“The damage is done for some.”No Nolwenn Leroy we must not separate the man and the fight he led concerning Abbé Pierre. A predator remains a predator, that’s all.“, or even “Nolwenn Leroy yesterday on Quotidien about Abbé Pierre: ‘We cannot do otherwise than continue to lead this fight (the foundation) and to recognize the pain of the victims (phew) but the question ultimately is: Why after so much time?’ Pardon ?“, this is what we can read on the social network X.

Nolwenn Leroy, who knew Abbé Pierre during his lifetime, confides

This notion of separating the work from the man often provokes pugilistic debates. The names of men accused of sexual assault such as Roman Polanski, Gabriel Matzneff have often been at the heart of this type of questioning. So inevitably, the choice of this formula did not please everyone. Behind this statement, Nolwenn Leroy, visibly uncomfortable with the idea of ​​bringing up this subject in front of Yann Barthès, apparently simply wanted to continue to support a foundation that helps the most deprived. She continued: “We cannot do otherwise than continue to fight this battle, and of course recognize the pain of the victims..” “As for me, I met Abbé Pierre of course, but my commitment as a godmother was a commitment of the heart, beyond the man, it was his fight, his message.said Nolwenn Leroy on the set of Daily. I renew more than ever my support for the foundation. We have not finished this fight. Nothing worse could happen to the foundation, it is terrible.
