Jean-Luc Reichmann is a key figure in the PAF. Thursday April 8, 2021, season 8 of Léo Matteï, miners’ brigade was broadcast on TF1. To promote these new episodes, the flagship presenter of 12 noon shots gave an interview to Big Channel TV. He delivered himself without taboo on his adolescence, marked by painful episodes. Suffering all the more difficult to live with,he did not dare to evoke them with his parents. During this interview, Jean-Luc Reichmann, who recently contracted Covid-19, explained his relationship to the difference : “I’ve been fighting for the difference for years. I don’t know if you know, but it seems that I have a spot on my nose! “, he quipped before continuing: “And then, I have a little sister who is profoundly deaf, which also helped me in this reflection. This season of Léo Matteï, miners’ brigade is very committed because we denounce even more what is happening in sport, in the world of foster families and disability, or in communities. ” A cause that echoes his own experience: “In the playground, the children are cruel. There is the small, the fat, the red-haired, the thin … and then there was ‘the stain’. When, at 14, in front of thirty-five students, a French teacher told me ‘The stain on the board!’, I became even more aware of the harm it can do. “
“We were very modest and we didn’t talk about these things”
His comrades, as much as the teachers, have not always been kind to Jean-Luc Reichmann. “And at the same time, it was the birth of a fight. In adolescence, there is also the transformation of the body, the first girlfriends, and these kinds of thoughts: ‘We’re not going to date a guy with a stain on his nose!’ These are real wounds… “, continued the companion of Nathalie Lecoultre, before mentioning his parents: “We were very modest and we didn’t talk about these things. It was another generation, another time. I was so ashamed. “ Hence the importance for the famous host, to free the floor on people with disabilities. A subject that is particularly close to his heart.
