Carlwho was eliminated with Paola at the end of the bonus of November 5, was she boosted to participate in the star Academy ? That’s what some netizens think since it was revealed that the dance teacher Yanis Marshall and the young woman of 23 years had already crossed paths. Asked about the subject by TV 7 Days (November 7, 2022 edition), the faculty member gave his side of the story.
It was on October 15 that Yanis Marshall was revealed to the general public, during the first premium of the star Academy. Since then, he does not hide that he reads what is said about him on social networks. Comments that are not unpleasant. For example, no one would have tried to compare him to his predecessor Kamel Ouali. “They just say that we knew each other, which is true: I went to Paris when I was 15, with the desire to become one of its dancers in the Star Ac’. Which didn’t happen because I was too young, but he took me for the musical The sun King. We see each other again“, he clarified.
Then, Yanis Marshall obviously did not escape a question about Carla. The journalist pointed out that a little over a year and a half ago, he had commented on an Instagram post by the student, thus suggesting that he knew her. “First, dancing, singing, theater, it’s a very small world. Then, I come from the Paca region, and I know almost all the dance schools there, like the Center Jamel-Nabili, where I gave lessons when I was younger. I remember seeing Carla there, who was then a little girl of 6-7 years old. Later, in Paris, she had attended one of my classes like hundreds of other dance enthusiasts. However, I did not participate in the Star Academy casting and only discovered the students the day before the first prime“, he justified himself. No piston or favoritism, as has been said on social networks.
Recall that in addition to Yanis Marshall’s comment, a TikTok video pointed to the fact that before entering the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys, Carla had made a passage in the France 2 program Indeed as the dancer of a certain Andy Da Veiga who is part of Yanis Marshall’s troupe. The young man in question would also have made the show during one of the student’s paintings. “Some people in the troupe would have asked to vote en masse for Carla but TF1 asked them to delete their tweets“, was it also said. What to provoke the anger of certain Internet users who spoke of “shenanigans” or of “piston“.
