In June 2020, M6 broadcast a new issue of Kitchen nightmare where Philippe Etchebest went to Sénas in the Bouches-du-Rhône, to help three sisters, the twins Mélanie and Mylène as well as Séverine. An experience that marked them. With our colleagues from Entertainment TV, Mélanie gives her news and reveals that she has filed a complainttwo years after the show first aired.
The episode has already been rebroadcast three times, in February and October 2021 and then in April 2022. And each time they appear on the screen, criticism rains down on the sisters. “We are even criticized on our physique. These are fake accounts. We notice it by clicking on the profile, often there is only one subscriber… But we got used to itsays Melanie. I know what I’m doing, all the good will that I put into it… We only have fresh products. I have nothing to reproach myself for, even if I confess to you thatwe had not anticipated all these negative remarks by participating in the show.“
Their restaurant is criticized on social networks and other specialized rating sites. Internet users “say it’s inedible, disgusting, and that we should be ashamed of having done Kitchen nightmarewhen they never came to eat there…“This wave of hatred does not stop there:”We were attacked directly on our physique, we were told that we could jump off a bridge, do cosmetic surgery… It was very, very far.“Faced with this, the three sisters have”of course complained to the police“. This action unfortunately did not succeed since the complaint was closed without further action.
Attacks which the trio would have done well, especially since Mélanie, Mylène and Séverine did not participate in Kitchen nightmare for the glory. “The boss knows it. We had asked not to be broadcast. We didn’t want to make the buzz, just save our restaurant and improve our relationship with my sisters.“, assures the cook. The most important thing for the small family now is the success of the restaurant. “Two years later, we are still open, with a lot of passages“, says Mélanie with satisfaction. And perhaps Chef Etchebest will visit them soon… In any case, the invitation has been issued!
