As you know, Sylvie Tellier’s reign at the head of the general management of Miss France is about to end. The one who is also the general manager of Talent Lab (the agency which manages the monetization of the social networks of all the Misses, editor’s note) was thanked. “He was expressly asked to come and collect his personal belongings, to empty his office quickly and to leave. This decision comes from the big big boss”, told us a source familiar with the matter. “She is not on good terms either with the Talent Lab teams or with her hierarchy,” she added.
Arrived as an employee in the company, in April 2005, the quarantine had taken over from Geneviève de Fontenay a few years later. And since then, between the two, it’s war!
A dating enmity
Nearly a month ago, when she heard that Miss France 2001 was soon to be pushed out of the boat, the Lady in the hat was happy to react to our colleagues from France Sunday. “I still haven’t digested what she’s done to me over the past few years, so I’m not going to cry for her. She’s not to be pitied financially. She will have earned a lot more money than me! Her dismissal does not make me hot or cold”, did she say. The two women have been fighting a battle of words through the media for several years.
However, they attempted a truce: “I am relieved that relations are calming down with the Miss France society. I have always fought against the canons of war, preferring the canons of beauty”had said to theAFP in 2013, Mrs de Fontenay explaining that she had signed a “a pact of non-agression” with Sylvie Tellier, because “Peace is priceless”.
But in 2019, at the time of the centenary of the famous beauty contest, rebelote!
“Sylvie wants to appropriate the centenary of Miss France. I had contact with her, I discussed with her. But there she abuses (…) She tries to recover all the Miss France and it is dishonest I am thinking of Louis de Fontenay, he is the one who deserved to celebrate the centenary”adding in passing that “What Sylvie wants is to showcase herself as much as possible…”
Response from the “shepherd to the shepherdess”
During the press conference for the Miss France 2021 election, Sylvie Tellier preferred not to enter the game of her ex-mentor. “For some time, I have been very attacked by Geneviève on my person. I am someone who respects Geneviève because I was elected alongside her and I am very respectful of the investment and the work she has given. to ensure that the Miss France pageant becomes what it is. You will rarely or almost never hear me speak ill of Geneviève, even if I have been very affected by her attacks for several months. I am very hurt”, she said about it. However, she had warned by saying that she would not hesitate “to get her little claws out” if necessary.
