On Saturday, November 19th, TF1 aired the semi-finals of Star Academy, an evening where Léa, along with her translator Marc Lavoine, defended her place in the competition, notably maintaining the headline “I forgot everything”. During this live-streamed drama on TF1, the 60-year-old singer shocked the public by kissing the young academic on the neck. It’s a gesture that truly divides internet users in two. While some thought that The Voice’s former coach wanted to comfort Léa, who was looking stressed out due to a technical problem just prior to her performance, many viewers thought otherwise:
“I still can’t get over Marc Lavoine’s kiss there…it disgusts me and I see Léa’s embarrassed face again. Consent applies to everything and everyone, Mr. Lavoine!”, “Neck kiss not approved by Marc Lavoine To Léa, are we talking about this?!” , “wait but marc lavoine really kissed on lea’s neck??? but it’s worse than i thought when i realized it was uncomfortable“…can we read it on Twitter?
Faced with the anger of the audience, Léa decided to make things clear. Questioned by our colleagues from Télé Loisirs, the young academic said, “lived very well“Make your gesture and make it clear”because Marc Lavoine is helpful“. Léa continues confidently: “He gave me a lot of confidence during rehearsals. He treated me like a father. I loved singing with him and I remember my evolution. If I compare this performance with my performance with Amir, I see that my self-confidence has increased.“. This is enough to cut any discussion short.
I still can’t get over Marc Lavoine’s kiss there…it disgusts me and I see Léa’s embarrassed face again. Consent applies to everything and everyone, Mr. Lavoine! #Star Academy
