On October 13, 2022, Cyril Hanouna was at the helm of a new issue of Do not touch My TV (C8). And columnists debated the hashtag “Balance your salary”, which invites the French to reveal their income in support of the refinery strikers. The opportunity for Geraldine Maillet to confide in his years of hardship.
Workers in the refinery sector are currently fighting for a wage increase. A fight that has prompted some Internet users to reveal their salaries on Twitter. Last night, Cyril Hanouna therefore wanted to know which of his columnists was ready to do the same. If Raymond Aabou revealed his (3188 euros last month), Géraldine Maillet did not wish to do so. “Today, there is a diktat of transparency, where whatever we say, it would be indecent. And so, we are going to be told: ‘But are you legitimate, to talk every night about such and such a thing, about such a social movement? While you, indeed, are well off, you are extremely privileged.’ And of course, it is. You are therefore above ground. And it obviously is“, she confided at first.
But the companion of Daniel Riolo knows where she comes from and therefore does not forget that in her youth, she had a difficult time with her mother. “I had big money problems. I know what it’s like to have nothing on the 10th of the month. I was chased by the bailiffs with my momso I know what it is“, she revealed. Géraldine Maillet then explained that when she was a model, a “precarious job“she could be paid”10,000 or 15,000 euros for a fashion show“.”To write a book, when it took me a year of my time, it was 2,000 euros in advance“, she continued. She then concluded by revealing that she was not an owner and that for her, that was it”the wealth“.”When I have my own apartment, I will consider myself rich. I’m a tenant there, I can’t be a landlord because I’m too old to borrow. So I consider myself not rich, but I am very very well off“, she concluded.
