A moving testimony. This Saturday, January 6, 2024, a few hours after responding to his detractors by posting a photo of her butt to challenge the criticism she receives regularly on your physique and your weight gain, Flavie Flament gave an interview to Isabelle Ithurburu for the celebrity magazine 50 minutes Inside, where she has hosted the show since the beginning of last September. The opportunity for the former star host of TF1, who was a hit in the early 2000s with Stars at home, Song of the year, Nice People or Exclusiveto look back on his years of glory, to which she put an abrupt but definitive end in 2009after the failure of reality TV Love And Bluff: Which of the three of us? in the third part of the evening.
“I keep the memory of an overwhelming period. I had the feeling of taking a lot, of giving too, while being in a frantic race. At one point, we had to calm things down because it was almost a period of my life that escaped me. I often had the feeling during that period of being available to everything and everyone, all guided by a real will, a real abysmal need, to to have love, to give it. I was ready to do a lot to receive it” recalls the man who will turn fifty in a few months. At the dawn of this symbolic milestone, Benjamin Castaldi’s ex-wife modestly returns to the lack of love she suffered as a child, and which led her to be the target of a British photographer, who sexually abused her. A trauma buried within her for years, until a photo, during a psychoanalysis session, came to unearth everything.
“As a result of this meeting, I dropped a photo on the ground, and this photo allowed me to access a whole part of my life that had until then been forbidden to me. And I understood at that moment that I had experienced a tragedy when I was 13, and that I had been the victim of rape by David Hamilton. explains Enzo’s mother and Julien and Simon’s ex-mother-in-law. Following this realization, Flavie Flament writes, puts words to her ills, and publishes La Consolationa moving autobiography in which she repudiates her mother, and makes public the facts that she attributes to David Hamilton, a British photographer, and which allegedly occurred in Cap d’Agde during photo sessions in 1987.
“I’m not completely happy”
His alleged tormentor, cornered by numerous other testimonies from women also accusing him of having sexually abused them, will eventually end his life in November 2016, at age 83, thus escaping the media and legal torrent that was going to fall on him. Today, Flavie Flament says she is happy, but is not completely happy: “Overall, I’m a happy woman because I think I have a freedom that few women have. I’m going to be 50, I’m a single woman, I’ve been married twice, I’ve divorced twice, I lead my life as I want it, where I want it; and this freedom, I know for once that no one will come to steal it from me. It is mine! And that makes me happy. But if you’re asking if I’m completely happy, of course not Isabelle. That it is ? Who can be ?” asks the journalist who we continue to find on RTL.
