It was in 2001 that viewers discovered Jenifer, a young woman aged 18, who won the first season of the Star Academy. With her complexes, the singer had a hard time coming to terms with herself. “I allowed myself to say no, because initially, when I'm coming to Star Ac', I don't really have a defined style. I was drowning in clothes, because I didn't really like my body.” she revealed in an interview with
Current Woman. “I still don’t like him today, but that’s okay. I take responsibility for it more.”
Jenifer remembers going through very difficult times: “In any case, at a certain time, I was really struggling. I was full of complexes. So, I trusted the person who was in front of me and who said to me: 'But it suits you , put this on, and everything.”
Jenifer confides in her complexes
For many years, the artist, now 42 years old, had a hard time assuming her forms : “I wasn’t very complicated, I didn’t know how to say no to someone, for fear of offending or hurting them. But, clearly, there were things that didn’t suit me at all,” she added.
If she went through difficult phases, today, Jenifer says she is more in tune with herself. Unveiling a new album and embarking on a tour for 2025, the singer wants to reunite with her audience who have followed her for two decades.
The singer returns to Star Academy
Moreover, she was able to make her grand return to the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. Indeed, Jenifer returned to the Star Academy to see the new generation of singers. And it was with nostalgia and emotion that she was able to find a place dear to her heart: “I grew up and I learned to be diplomatic in saying no, to say: 'No, it doesn't fit, I don't feel good in this outfit'. And as a result, I feel better in my body”explained Jenifer.
“It took a long time. (…) I keep my complexes, I still have them. We accept them, we move forward, (…) and everything is fine”, she added. But for Jenifer,
“That’s not the main thing.”
