But that’s it. Since the launch of this season, a dark business has been tarnishing the image of the program. Like the last promotion of the Star Academy, where Ebony had been the target of a wave of hatred that had shaken the canvas, Secret Story 13 is also tainted by accusations of harassment and racism.
“Secret Story”: hoots, returns from the elders and live elimination … Who from Ethan, Marianne or Constance left the adventure this Thursday?
Apologies … who do not convince
Several candidates are in the sights: the Belgians Pimprenelle and Célia, but also Constance, Adrien… and especially Marianne, eliminated last week. But when she thought she was entitled to a completely normal outing, barely arrived on the set, the discomfort settles. She is hooked by the public. On social networks, Internet users are unleashed. And it is only by recovering her phone that she discovers the extent of the damage.
Shocked, Marianne then published a message on Instagram to give her version of the facts. “Some things have been poorly perceived, out of context … But what shocks me today is the violence that I receive for something that never existed,” she explained. “We cannot get along with everyone, in the game as in life, but I have never made a racist or harassed remarks that it is.“But nothing helps. Internet users are not convinced, and comments under their interviews are rare violence. A wave of hatred settles, and continues to grow.

A distress call sent to production
Since then, it has been radio silence on the Instagram account of the former candidate. We wondered even if she would be on set this Thursday for the bonus. It will not be. This Thursday, the columnist and specialist in reality TV Jeremstar published an exclusive interview with Marianne. A 50 -minute long video, in which the former candidate gives himself up, upset.
“It’s complicated, because I feel weakened”she confides, her voice trembling. She explains that she no longer dare to leave her house, for fear of being recognized or assaulted. She also unveils freezing messages, hateful comments, but also a vocal addressed to production, which she sends in the middle of the night to Endemol, also producer of the Star Academy. “ I know it’s 3am, but you told me I could call you when I wanted … it’s not going at all. You have destroyed my life. What I read on me, the images we have shown … It’s normal for people to think of me. How could I trust you? I am destroyed. My family is destroyed. My whole life is destroyed. Because of you, I’m going to give up in the air. ” A message of extreme gravity, recorded in tears.
Psychologist, bodyguard and rest center
Following this message, a psychologist would have been made available to Marianne. “”It is the same that I saw during the adventure “, she said. But it seems far from sufficient. Because since its exit, Marianne has only received hatred messages. “”Forever, I will be Marianne the harassment and the racist of Secret Story 13 “she confides to Jeremstar.
The videographer then asked him to read a recently received message: “Listen to me well, I’ll find you, you and your family. We’re going to harass you like never before, tracking you down. You will understand what it is, misery, big sow. “
Faced with this climate of threats, a bodyguard would have been offered to her, which she refused, believing that it would still reinforce the feeling of danger she was going through.

Hospitalization in a rest center
Marianne even goes so far as to say that there is no longer any escape: “Secret Story is the worst bullshit in my whole life. I do not see any other way than falling asleep and never woving. “
Alarming remarks, which therefore raise a real question: the possible responsibility for production in the construction of the image of candidates. At a time when social networks amplify each gesture, each word, each look, the assembly of the sequences and the imposed narration can destroy a life, a reputation. Shouldn’t we put in place real measures to deal with it?
According to Jeremstar, production would have finally placed Marianne in a rest center, with her agreement. An unprecedented act in thirteen seasons of the program. “Production had never placed a candidate in a rest home”he underlines.
