Having not appeared on television since 2016, Johnny Hallyday’s ex-wife has however abandoned her acting career to become a sophrologist. Despite everything, she never misses an opportunity to give her fans news.

A believer, the mother of Aïtor (born in 1999) and Wilona (born in 2011) fell under the influence of a sect, which she finally managed to leave. “It’s part of the traumas and trials that allow you to understand the influence. I can understand people who are under the influence. People say: ‘I’m not put under influence, I’m not manipulated’, okay, it’s good to believe that. It led me into a cult, but at the same time, it didn’t answer the spiritual quest I had.”she estimated. “So, I left my Catholic faith which did not nourish me sufficiently.
