“I was told: ‘Go do The Voice in Algiers'”: Amel Bent victim of racism

In society, the media, justice, within the police, in sport … The fight against racism is being waged on all fronts. Amel Bent has also had the sad experience. His role as coach in The voice earned him many bad comments.

It’s on the show La Face Katché, presented by Manu Katché (the former judge of New star, program which revealed Amel) and broadcast on Yahoo!, that Amel Bent spoke of the racism of which she is a victim. His presence in the show The voice is a new opportunity for viewers to express their xenophobia.

I was told: ‘Go do The Voice in Algiers’.

Sometimes, I have the impression that my only presence in the PAF, at the time when I started, it was already so political in fact … I still see it when I enter the chair of The voice and that I see the comments on Twitter. We still have such a long way to go! Not everyone is ready to have a Rebeu in the chair, deplores the artist pregnant with her third child. I was told: ‘Go do The Voice in Algiers’. It’s not everyone. But there is a part of the population who is not ready, who is afraid.

Amel’s weekly appearances on TF1 still make millions of other viewers and his proteges happy. She will also find her famous red armchair in The Voice 2022, alongside Florent Pagny, Marc Lavoine and Vianney.
