Passe-Partout pained by Mimie Mathy’s comments on short people

On the set of Non Stop People, André Bouchet dit Passe-Partout returned to the comments made by Mimie Mathy in “Seven to eight” concerning her desire to “flee” from short people.

Released on February 21, 2021, a testimony from Mimie Mathy on short people was not appreciated by some people, including the famous Passe-Partout of Fort Boyard, André Bouchet. “I’ve heard about it, and I find it hard and hurtful”, he told Non Stop People this Monday, April 12, 2021.

The star of Joséphine Ange Gardien had explained to have “always refused to live with a small person”, because she doesn’t want “not be a cult.” “I say to short people ‘don’t come in groups and marry each other, you are not going to make only little ones”, she shared with viewers. For André Bouchet, these words are shocking: “She’s one of those people too, she mustn’t forget that she’s one of short people too. (…) I found the lyrics very harsh! (…) It’s not good to say that, to react like that … And even if there is a couple of small size, he has the right to get together! “

Currently, the subject of single sex is debated, some believing that it is not good to create spaces reserved for members of the same minority (women, non-white people, trans, disabled …) and that it is akin to “communitarianism”. Inter-self chosen between oppressed people, an obstacle to living together? Or rather, a tool to be able to find each other concerned by the same subject? Everyone obviously lives as he wishes and can his singularity. But we understand less the injunction to “mix” at all costs to “better integrate” in a society where oppressions such as validism are daily.
