In March 2022, viewers of M6 reality TV Married at first sight met Jennifer, candidate for the sixth season of the program. Although compatible with Eddy, a 37-year-old man, with whom she married for the needs of the show, it was ultimately another suitor that the young woman chose, since she has been in a relationship for almost two years now with Bruno, who also participated in season 6 of Married at first sight. Two years later, it is clear that Jennifer Lariviere has remained one of the most followed faces of the program on social networks. Strong of its 215,000 subscribersthe 32-year-old young woman recently made a shocking revelation to them, indicating that she had fought against the disease for many years… And this, from the age of 6.
“At the age of 6, I was very ill” began Jennifer, before telling her subscribers that she had been the target of hemolytic anemia, a little-known disease but which can have serious consequences. Consequences that the young woman experienced, since she had to undergo major surgical operations: “I had emergency surgery on my spleen and gallbladder”. The young woman did not discuss these operations, and did not indicate whether it was a splenectomy and a cholecystectomy, that is to say the removal of these two non-existent organs. vital. Operations that she still undergoes today, due to the scars that remain, even twenty-five years later: “I have been self-conscious for a long time [par] this scar. And after all, she is part of me, and as my son tells me: I am a real warrior like that!”
Mom of a 7-year-old boy, the influencer, who is a hairdresser and manager of her own salon in Lille, could have had much more serious consequences. Untreated, red blood cell anemia leads to hemolysis, the complete destruction of red blood cells in the blood. This autoimmune disease is actually caused by other underlying causes (drug, immunological, mechanical, etc.), but can also result from genetic and hereditary diseases, such as hemoglobinopathies, enzymopathies or congenital spherocytoses. One thing is certain: this sad story, which could have been much more serious, is behind Jennifer!
