A few weeks before the start of the new season of star Academy
, Jill, emblematic candidate of the 5th edition of the famous TV show, looked back on her adventure at the castle. At the time, the videographer was only 17 years old. If she admits not to have been traumatized by her time on the show, she ultimately realized that certain behaviors in production were not acceptable. “I had the bad role, I had the role of the bitch who complains all the time for nothing”she confided to her long-time friend, Gaëlle Garcia Diaz.

the pretty brunette remembers having been “cut off from the world.” “CAs I have already talked about it many times, you have no one on the phone, you should know that these sequences where we are on the phone, we are briefed before, our family is briefed before too, they cannot say anything about this that they see on television, they can’t tell the image you have on the outside, nothing at all and if they have the misfortune of saying a word about something, they cut the call straight away and you really only got one minute. And if you had another candidate who had encroached on your time, you had 30 seconds left.”she remembered.

Guys, I’m 17. I was in jogging pants all the time, I wasn’t seductive enough.”

In addition to the sexist remarks, Jill’s biography was also allegedly made up. And this, with the aim of creating a detestable character. “They invented a completely crazy life for me. They said I had gone to New York alone for a year to work as a model. I went to Arizona with a family. They invented all that to create a character who was already hated by the public.” There star Academy takes it for his rank…
