Thanks to the show that she hosts every afternoon on France 2, Faustine Bollaert has become, in recent years, one of the French’s favorite presenters. Always close to his guests, empathetic, the host also made her program It starts today a real meeting place for viewers, who rush every afternoon in front of their screen and on France 2 to discover what moving testimonies will be delivered. Stéphanie Guérin, producer of the show, explained this subject to Tele-LeisureJanuary 5, 2024: “We are in the public service, we cannot do anything. For example, if we want to do a theme about a narcissistic perverted husband, we can’t bring in just any woman.” A job that seems to be paying off, since viewers are still loyal, despite the various changes that the show has undergone.
Internet users outraged by the testimony of Sarah, an overweight teenager
It must be said that for several months, the program is broadcast after the 1 p.m. news all week except weekends, in order to be able to face the flagship TF1 series : Life is more beautiful, even more beautiful. Tuesday February 27, 2024, the show It starts today also hit hard for his new number. The theme ? Overweight, obesity: growing up with extra pounds. Faustine Bollaert, who was recently approached by TF1, therefore welcomed, on the set, an overweight young woman, Sarah, unhappy because of her mother’s view of her. “In fact, I weigh in every Sunday and every Saturday evening, I stress because I’m afraid my mother will be disappointed. I’m afraid I won’t see a smile”, confided the young woman to the host. Before continuing: “When the weigh-in is negative, there are even times when I lied and said that there was no weigh-in or that I forgot to do it, all so that she would not know that I I had gained weight. When it’s negative, I don’t want to tell her so that she doesn’t feel well.”
A testimony which seems to have touched the hearts of Internet users, who subsequently became indignant at the mother’s behavior : “But who introduced this weighing every Sunday?! It’s serious to put a child through this!”, “The mother doesn’t feel guilty at all… A weigh-in every Sunday… No, but no kidding…”, we could read. New proof, if any were needed, of the power of Faustine Bollaert in her show.
