Already 17 years since Magalie Vaé won the star Academy (season 5, in 2005). Today she is making her big comeback on the front of the stage with an album of duets released on March 4 in collaboration with Frédéric François, but that’s not all. The singer is now making movies! In fact, she is featured in Do not forget memovie written and directed by comedian and actor Mathieu Grillon. Gone are the days of star Academy… From that time, Magalie Vaé only keeps memories, and not a penny! She who had won a million euros very quickly squandered everything. With Jordan de Luxe, for his show The Deluxe 2.0 moment in partnership with Purepeoplethe 35-year-old brunette opens up about this financial loss.
“I did some bullshit“, she admits. Magalie Vaé, now incredibly thin, was just 18 years old when she received this huge check. That’s when her entourage changed. She became new friends who were in fact only there out of interest, to take advantage of his fortune. Her biggest expenses, the ones that led her to ruin, are the outings, as she says herself. “You should know that we were not only two! It made me really happy and then I didn’t realize. There was the taxi, the restaurant… We stayed for several hours. It lasted for several years“, she recalls.
Then, one fine day, the mother of little Elia (10 years old) ran dry. With no money, she then lost her fake friends, gone”when there was nothing“.”I don’t blame them. Today I laugh, there is no problem. I rediscovered this reality of money. I know that I have done stupid things, and for me the only responsible is me. I don’t blame anyone else“, she insists. Finally, Magalie Vaé regrets “bad decisions” taken at the time. But today, this bad patch is well and truly behind her. “For a while now I’ve been managing my money properly“, she confides proudly. Now, she manages her bank accounts with a master’s hand!
