Saturday evening, Nikos Aliagas presented a new bonus from the star Academy, live on TF1. And the evening turned out to be particularly memorable. First because of prestigious guests, including Véronique Sanson whose behavior was deemed strange, or even by the loss of resources of a candidate. But what everyone was waiting for was above all to know the names of the eliminated of the week. Four students were nominated, namely Julien, Ahcène, Cenzo and Stan. The public decided to save Julien a second time and Stan was fished out by the rest of his comrades. Ahcène and Cenzo therefore left the adventure.
The day after the bonus, Sunday, the time was debriefed for the ten candidates still in the running. And the moment was undoubtedly difficult to live for Julian. The somewhat rambunctious 20-year-old student was indeed strongly criticized by his scenic expression teacher Laura Balon. The latter did not go out of her way to explain to him that she had found his performance insufficient, even though he had just confided to her that he had been seized with a very violent anxiety attack. “I cried for hours before the bonus, I was not well (…) JI was not well at all, I was not on this planet. I almost fainted on stage (…) The public helped me to smile on stage“, he defended himself. A justification which did not convince Laure Balon, who especially considered that he was “lazy“.”You flirt with the public. You smile to flirt with the public and get votes. What do we care about the public? If you respected the publicyou wouldn’t flirt with him on camera (…) You smile to flirt. Everyone has seen this, so open your eyes, grow up. You chose the song but you sabotaged it. You were off the mark“, she got carried away.
Julien greatly supported by internet users and his singer brother
This reaction greatly disturbed Internet users in front of the daily, many of whom denounced a certain form of harassment and wait for action from TF1 and the CSA. “Hello TF1. Laure Balon’s debriefing sequence with Julien was really unbearable to watch, harassment is prohibiteda little reminder to this teacher seems necessary for the good of the candidate and your viewers“, “I see many CSA complaints against Laure Balon for harassment of Julien, whom the public loves. Is right ! At this level, a sanction against the scenic expression teacher seems necessary to me. And why not a pure and simple radiation“, “But Laura???? Talking like that to Julien is not okay! Are they looking to destroy him on this show or what???? The bug he typed an anxiety attack before the bonus and his only argument: ‘you flirt with the public’ ????“, “Julien tells Laure that he had an anxiety attack before the bonus and the latter minimizes his state of suffering, yells at him, lectures him and accuses him of being fake on stage… Psychosocial risks are not to be ignored. She’s not a shrink!“, we read on Twitter.
