Iconic figure of French reality TV, Mélanie Amar made her debut on the small screen in 2016 by participating in the sixth edition of the Bachelor.
Of The Villa of Broken Hearts to Stated passing through Moundir and the apprentice adventurers, the young woman then continued filming before taking a break from her television career.
Exit the cameras, it's now as production manager and influencer that the one we nickname Melanight flourishes.
But while she hoped to be able to turn the page on her past as a reality TV candidate, that seems far from being the case. In an interview given to Parisian this Tuesday, January 14, 2025, the social media star declared herself “wronged“.
“The door was closed to me because I am a reality TV candidate, and therefore I am considered stupid.“, she laments.
Melanight at war with the M6 group
Mélanie Amar would also have started prosecutions for “parasitism“economic against the M6 group. The reason? Studio 89 allegedly stole a concept for a show featuring a “competition” evaluating the intellectual abilities of small screen stars. For the influencer, the resemblance with the show The Brain is blatant.
Let us recall that the program which pits several reality TV candidates against each other in “logic, memory, general knowledge and spelling” was launched on December 9 on W9.
This has also been a great success since the first episode alone attracted more than 400,000 viewers.
For the first season of The Brain, the ninth channel pulled out all the stops with a choice cast: Benoît Dubois, Vivian Grimigni, Kim Glow, Carla Moreau, Greg Yega are all candidates who have been selected to participate.
Since the beginning of December, the joyful troupe has been competing on different themes within the walls of the Cité universitaire de Paris.with sanctions in the event of a misstep, catch-ups, alliances and strategies, an elimination duel…“, report our colleagues. A concept that Mélanie Amar would have “presented in July 2023 to a manager of M6 and W9“.
1.3 million euros for loss of earnings
At the time, his goal was obviously to create “an educational competition against school dropouts“. “I was told ok, the project is great“, she explains in the columns of Parisian. Then, it would have taken four months of intensive work to complete this project. “All without an employment contract“. “I was told that my project was great, but that M6 did not want to tackle this theme“, specifies the young woman who would have finally seen her concept land on television a few months later, but without her…
Assisted by two specialist lawyers, she is now demanding 1.3 million euros for loss of earnings, work provided and moral damage.
M6, for its part, firmly contests these accusations, evoking a “wrongful denigration” and claims to defend its interests in the face of these allegations.
