The star Academy is making a comeback on TF1. On October 15, 2022, TF1 will kick off the new season. This will be the opportunity to get to know the 13 candidates who are preparing to invest the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. But the fans of the first hour will never forget the old ones, among whom hodawhich had marked season 4 in 2004. On the other hand, it was for a dark affair that she had returned to the spotlight.
A few years ago, the one who shared the season of the late Grégory Lemarchal (the winner) hit the headlines for a legal case. In 2015, her life changed after she was sentenced to 18 months suspended prison sentence for “thefts facilitated by the circumstances of extreme vulnerability of its victims” and “use of counterfeit or falsified checks” as well as a fine of 30,000 euros. The Toulouse was accused of having extorted nearly 24,000 euros from a couple in their eighties who had employed her between April 2011 and September 2013 as a personal assistant. facts that she has always denied outright. “I have been crushed, even crushed by the steamroller of justice. I do not have the weight. The case is delicate and my word alone is difficult to defend on such a sensitive subject. I do not wish anyone to live what i’ve been through“, she regretted with Entertainment TV. And entrust to Audience : “I haven’t stolen a penny from anyone. As a home helper, I took care of an 84-year-old gentleman who has a degenerative disease. I chose to bring care and help to people, by choice and by vocation. I am dedicated to patients and an honest person.“
New revelations have been made in 2018. The public learned that Hoda failed to show up for her court-appointed appointments and failed to pay her fine. The Sentence Enforcement Division of the Toulouse Court of Appeal therefore put an end to his suspended sentence with probation. She was then at risk of being sentenced to 18 months in prison.. A verdict that she was apparently however able to avoid by appealing to the Court of Cassation. At the time, his lawyer had indicated that they are “medical issues” who prevented her from going to appointments. He added: “She is a person in great pain who is certainly not the manipulator that some imagine.“
Since then, this case is behind her. Thus, in November 2021, Hoda was able to go to the set of the special program for the 20th anniversary of the star Academy. Today, she still lives from her passion for music since she works in a group that creates shows.
