In 2004, Lucie Bernardoni invested the places of the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys for the emission the star Academy. At the end of a competition of several weeks, the singer rose to the final, facing Grégory Lemarchal, who won. A feat for the young man now deceased since he suffered from cystic fibrosis. But he was actually not the only candidate battling the disease. There was also Lucie Bernardoni, except that he was “forbidden to complain due to Gregory’s disease“, as she told Jordan De Luxe on her show At Jordan’s. This evil that gnaws at her, the pretty brunette now agrees to talk about it. “I know that I have a genetic disease for a long time and one day I got fed up and it was instinct that spoke (…) I needed it. I was tired of having to lie when I was tired, when I felt unwell“, she explained.
Lucie Bernardoni suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic disease “muscular and vascular” that touches “many people“.”I was diagnosed quite late, there is a lot of medical wandering, like many genetic diseases“, she regretted. We do not know much about this scourge but one thing is certain, it had terrible consequences on the life of the wife of Patrick Maktav. “I don’t have great health. I will definitely not be able to be pregnant againto my great despair (…) I speak for myself in relation to a combination of other health problems“, admits the one who is already the mother of a little girl named Lily Angelina (13 years old), born from a previous relationship.
Until you want to jump over the balcony
A big blow for the artist who went through a period of depression. “It’s something that was hard to accept, that made me fall into depression. For a long time and as a woman, I hid from depression for a long time. This is until you want to jump over a balcony“, she remembered, specifying to be “still in depression” today. “It’s a disease, it can be treated and I’m no longer ashamed of it“. Fortunately, Lucie Bernardoni can count on her daughter to make her feel better and prevent her from committing irreparable harm. “We forget each othert we put the human being who matters most to us, before us, and it’s simply an instinct“.
