She made the heyday of shows such as Frou Frou or It’s my choice in the 1990s. Since then, Sonia Dubois is more discreet. Indeed, it is rare to see his face on the air of a program. And this withdrawal from the media world is explained by a very sad reason. In October 2014, the star of the diets was delivered with an open heart on the set of Hello earthlings with Thierry Ardisson. The opportunity for her to reveal having lived through terrible moments.
It all started with physical discomfort. Sonia Dubois did not feel at ease in this body which she then considered too far from the criteria of beauty in vogue. It was at this time that the journalist made the decision to seek treatment in a specialized clinic where she lost 60 kilos. An impressive weight loss which earned him some criticism from the public who had then let go. She, who embodied curves wonderfully, was no longer the same for them… This great physical change, she had also undertaken it because of harsh words that she had to take in spite of herself. Her husband at the time, Christophe, had made the decision to leave her after 22 years of love, accusing her of being “ugly, stupid, fat and unfuckable“!
Years later, Sonia Dubois relativized. “I also told him horrorsshe had launched on the set of the hit show. It always ends badly.“A break that occurred while she was in the midst of a descent into hell. She who had known glory was then no one for viewers.”I slept on the benches, I slept in my theater box“, she had told, revealing to have been on the street for a time. And to conclude at the time that it was better for her to be “fat and famous than thin and forgotten“.
Today, everything is better for the mother of Hippolyte (13 years old). She has published several food collections about her weight loss and offering tips to keep the line. Also, she continues the theater, where she last appeared in 2018 in the play The Sissies by Bruno Druart.
