Seven months after she opened up about her addiction in an interview at Press, then on the set of Everybody talks about it, Maripier Morin reappeared in the public space this Thursday to present her new project: the Grains of Hope coffee, designed in collaboration with the entrepreneur Angelo Rubino, and whose profits from the sale will be donated to therapy houses against the addiction.
In the podcast that accompanies this project, the actress, who says she has been recovering for a year and four months, names her cocaine addiction for the first time. “I didn’t talk about it [à l’émission Tout le monde en parle] for the simple reason that if we go by the history, in Quebec, there are very few women who have named the substance ”, she specifies, stressing that the consumption of cocaine is much more accepted in men. Maripier Morin hopes to “break the taboo related to consumption” and “open the discussion on this subject,” she says in her Instagram post.
Last May, Press had reported the testimonies of five people who had suffered physical assault, unsolicited sexual touching and racist comments from her between 2017 and 2020. Guest on the set of Everybody talks about it the next day, the actress and host had confided to having “disrespected so much of the other” when she was in a state of consumption.
