It has now been 22 years since Élodie Gossuin’s life changed. In 2000, Bertrand Lacherie’s wife succeeded Sonia Rolland as Miss France. A crown that allowed him to boost his career. But if the former beauty queen is now a confirmed host, her debut in the media environment was complicated. Invited by Eric Dussart and Jade on the show “On refait la télé”, Miss France 2001 claims to have long been considered ” a mental rest that had to be spared out of Christian charity “. ” It’s a bit like the flip side of the Miss France image “, she explained in particular. ” I rubbed shoulders with a lot of people from television or show business with totally inappropriate thoughts by belittling you, by emitting a lot of innuendo, because Miss and 20 years old and a woman “. She also added: Indeed you have the impression that apart from putting on pumps, a swimsuit, parading, you should not open your mouth”.
“Not taken seriously”
Young and naive, Élodie Gossuin suddenly found herself in the spotlight without being prepared for it. ” I remember very well. I did an extremely nice show with Frédéric Joly and Flavie Flament. It was called Exclusive at the time. Two days later, I do Marc-Olivier Fogiel on France 3 “, a meeting that she is not likely to forget anytime soon. ” Elected Miss France, 48 hours before, you are 20 years old, you discover the media. As soon as I said something, he answered me: ‘It’s good Miss France, you learned your lesson well’ “. If the pretty blonde does not want the host, she admits all the same to have “ very bad lived through this period. ” Because you have the feeling that whatever you say, whatever you do, you won’t be taken seriously. But it does not matter, because I chose to be Miss France, I chose to participate in this competition. I fully assume. But it’s complicated because you tell yourself that it will take time to prove something else. And I find it very stupid to be 41 years old today, and to think that it was necessary to work for years and to have this hindsight, to have confidence in myself and to feel respected and legitimate all the same! “Sad confidences.
