Vaimalama Chaves always shows legendary honesty when she confides in the media or even on social networks. The former Miss France 2019 is indeed not afraid to talk about all subjects, or even to raise her voice when something annoys her. A naturalness which comes to her from her life in Polynesia, where the codes do not always stick with those of a beauty queen. “As I grew up in Polynesia, far from metropolitan values and local habits and customs, I have a lot of latitude in my way of being“, she explained for Jordan De Luxe on her show At Jordan’s with Télé Loisirs. Vaimalama Chaves, for example, was not used to “formal (we don’t use formal in Polynesia, it’s a sign of distance!), and wear heels“.
But it is above all his style of language that has earned him Tap your fingers one day by Sylvie Tellier. “It was the time we went to Laurent Ruquier’s set (in We are not in bed, editor’s note), who had said that the birth rate was down and that we were inviting Miss France to give ideas. What was the idea he was implying? I didn’t appreciate that very much. So I went to The Parisian to say that I didn’t find it nice that he invited France to jerk off on the Miss France image. I had said the word ‘wank’ instead of ‘masturbate’, and so it clashed. She said to me: ‘It’s not very Miss to say that’“, she revealed.
But with hindsight, Vaimalama Chaves understands Sylvie Tellier’s position. “If we do the things that need to be done, there is no problem. If, on the contrary, we overflow, which is completely normal from a chef, she reframes us“.
The darling of Nicolas Fleury seems in any case today happy to have finished with all the protocols and missions imposed on a Miss France. In a previous interview for Jordan De Luxe, she confided in the very intense pace she had during her reign year. “On ‘officially’ works six days a week, so unofficially we don’t quite work that. We are led to leave our apartment at 6 am. So at 6 o’clock, we must already be ready, made up, styled, dressed… on the job. And as soon as we leave our house, we put on a constant smile, until we come back home“, she explained. She therefore felt that she had not had a salary commensurate with her workload.
