Saturday January 28, 2024, Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne welcomed a new round of guests on the set of the show What a time! broadcast on France 2. Laurie Darmon, Joyce Jonathan, Redouane Bougheraba and even Gérald Bronner and Faustine Bollaert were in fact there for this evening. The star host of the show It starts today spoke about her television debut but also her family life alongside Maxime Chattam, a novelist known for his very dark works. The host also spoke of her support for victims of harassment and sexual assault. A subject that particularly touches her since she assured without going into details that she had things to communicate in response to the #MeToo movement. While the portrait of Michel Drucker appeared on the big screen, Faustine Bollaert took the opportunity to recount a scene that had a lasting impact on her. At one time, Faustine Bollaert found herself in a dressing room with Dominique Strauss-Kahn. A moment during which she feared for her safety.
Faustine Bollaert: “I was starting to be afraid”
Michel Drucker knew how to be present at that moment to offer him a way out. “At a time when a politician was very incisive with me and scared me, Michel Drucker arrived in the dressing room of the Gabriel studio, and intervened“, first remembered the host. At this moment, Faustine Bollaert differentiates between a man and a predator and does not feel safe: “Luckily he intervened, because I was starting to get scared.” Faustine Bollaert chose not to name the politician in question but Christophe Dechavanne did: Dominique Strauss-Kahn. That day, Faustine Bollaert was able to slip away thanks to the foresight of her sidekick now installed on France 3 on Sunday afternoon. If nothing happened, the host of France 2 seems to have kept an indelible memory of it.
