Last December, Louane took up her pen to write a letter to the little girl she was. Missive that the interpreter of Secret read in a moving video. “You’ve been in primary school for two years, and things aren’t going very well. Nobody really understands why, but everyone repeats this sentence, as if you weren’t there, as if you couldn’t do it. ‘hear: ‘She doesn’t fit the mold’. […] The other students don’t understand why you can’t sit still, why you always say what you think, why you interrupt and monopolize the floor all the time.”she read, her voice breaking before adding: “It’s the beginning of a diagnosis and medication. It’s the beginning of adult understanding, but also of the continuation of children’s nastiness.”
Almost a year after the broadcast of these images shared by millions of people, the young singer agreed to return to these heartbreaking words on the set of It’s up to you.
Guest of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine this Tuesday, October 10, 2023, Florian Rossi’s companion explained at length the reasons which pushed her to write to young Louane.

“It allowed me to heal myself”
Its aim was above all to “show how catastrophic it can be on someone’s mental health.” “Very recently, there was a demonstration on school bullying and I saw a gentleman who was over 50 and who was holding a sign on which it was written: ‘bullied at school at 11 and still under medicine’. It’s the ultimate proof that we can no longer say: ‘it doesn’t matter, it’s children’s teasing’. No, children’s teasing remains for life.” she confided.
Victim of harassment in his youth, Louane finally found his outlet in music. “It allowed me to move on from a lot of things in my life […] The fact that my brother gave me this guitar, that I started writing songs, allowed me to heal myself. concluded the young mother. Touching confidences which did not fail to move Michel Blanc, also present on the set. On the verge of tears, the 71-year-old actor was particularly touched.
