During the election of Miss France 2023, this Saturday, December 17, Kendji Girac, one of the members of the jury, was visibly very uncomfortable with a comment from Miss Aquitaine.
A year after the coronation of Diane Leyre, we now know the name of Miss France 2023. After a long evening marked by magical paintings, the remark deemed sexist by Jean-Pierre Foucault, the tears of Sylvie Tellier or even the parade of Misses in swimsuits, it is therefore Indira Ampiot, Miss Gadeloupe, who was crowned the most beautiful woman in France this year. She was acclaimed by the public, but also by the jury, chaired by Francis Huster and made up of Miss France 2013 Marine Lorphelin, screenwriter Dominique Besnehard, judoka champion Clarisse Agbegnenou, comedian Arnaud Ducret, actress Bérangère Krief and singer Kenji Girac.
If this is not the first time that Kendji Girac is part of the jury of Miss France, the latter seemed very uncomfortable. And for good reason, one of the candidates, Miss Aquitaine, challenged him live. Orianne Galvez-Soto, 23 years old, “make-up artist and director of a young jewelry brand”, began by introducing herself, describing herself as a “adventurer”. “If you elect me tonight, I will go to each region to meet you”she then said, before being overcome with great emotion.
Losing her means somewhat, Miss Aquitaine then wished to address “a message” to the 26-year-old singer: “I’m from Bergerac. I think you know this city well. So I’m asking you the question: wouldn’t it be time to bring the crown back to the southwest?” she asked. Obviously having the desire to answer her, Kendji grabbed the microphone. But, being so stressed, the young woman pulled the rug out from under her and did not give her time. respond. “This dimple that serves as the sun will always be with you“, she chained, before concluding : “I wish you a great evening, thank you for listening to me”. A funny moment…
