Being highlighted at a young age is not always easy. Many artists can attest to this, but the best example is undoubtedly Vanessa Paradis. Indeed, the ex of Johnny Depp, with whom she had Jack and Lily-Rose, became known to the public when she was only 14 years old. An age that can make many dream but perhaps not the artist when she thinks back to what she experienced at that time.
Joe the cab is a hit but her interpreter does not seem to please everyone as she remembers in the report Top Girls broadcast this Thursday, July 14 at 11:45 p.m. on art. “The beginnings were very violent. I was 14 and at 14, it’s not going well for anyone. We wonder who we are, who we’re going to become, if we’re good enough”remembers the singer and actress before admitting that she found this period “awful, awful. I lived in the suburbs, I took the RER to go to school in the morning. People looked at me like I was a caged animal.”.
Insulted and harassed
Worse still, those who didn’t like her would never have bothered to make derogatory comments out loud next to her. “People think you lose your hearing as soon as you stop singing, think you’re a bit of an object. And I was a child, the comments were really monstrous”she remembers, still saddened by the situation.
Plus, her haters at the time didn’t just criticize her singing skills: “They insulted me, they called me all the names of birds. They attacked me on my physique, on my music, on my lack of talent”. A situation that could have ended very badly as she admitted, still in the same documentary: “It almost went wrong but my great luck is to have the parents I have, extraordinary parents who surrounded me so much and gave me a lot of freedom too”. Moments that the one who opened the doors of her sublime house would probably like to forget.
