Alexandra Pizzagali, comedian known for her bad buzz in Télématin in September 2022, went through a very difficult period following this event, going so far as to think about suicide. She confides in the columns of Le Parisien.
In September 2022, Alexandra Pizzagali began as a columnist in Télématin on France 2, but her column on the Nice attack sparked heated controversy.
The violent reaction from social networks led to the end of his collaborations with France Télévisions and France Inter, plunging the comedian into a deep depression.
In January 2023, she moved back to Brittany to rebuild herself and plans to create a new show and series, seeking to overcome this media crisis.
In September 2022, Alexandra Pizzagali took her first steps as a columnist in Télématin on France 2. But her column on the Nice attack caused an outcry on social networks. The consequences were disastrous for the young 36-year-old comedian.
A return to school that turns into a nightmare
Everything started well for Alexandra Pizzagali. After a good Avignon Festival, she landed a column at France Inter and a carte blanche in Télématin. The Holy Grail for this rising comedian. But his first column on the Nice attack will change everything.
Despite a second-degree text ending with a message of support for the victims, social networks are on fire. “I'm starting to receive hyperaggressive messages, by the hundreds: Go die! Give the money back! No talent! It's very, very violent“, she says.
Injuries and depression
The repercussions are terrible for Alexandra Pizzagali. France Télévisions and France Inter are ending their collaboration with it. His press secretary disappears. His show is performed in increasingly sparse venues. “Humiliation, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, injustice. Five in one, like a shampoo, these wounds, I got them all at once“, she sums up.
Three months after the bad buzz, at her worst, she even thought about suicide: “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 will end this life and move on to the next.“Only the thought of the pain she would inflict on those close to her prevents her from taking action.
New start in Brittany
After hitting rock bottom, Alexandra Pizzagali decides to leave everything behind to recharge her batteries in Brittany with her family. In January 2023, she moved into a small house in Finistère. In contact with nature and her nieces, she refocuses on the essentials.
“They have this magical power to put things back in their place. It's a bit corny, but I really refocused on things that matter“, she explains. Even if the road is still long, the comedian is gradually regaining her footing. Her next objective: to write a new show and a series. Enough, we hope, to definitively turn the page on this devastating bad buzz.
