Sylvie Tellier leaves her position as Director General of the Miss France Committee. She will be replaced by Cindy Fabre. Proud of the work accomplished, Sylvie Tellier does not hide her emotion.
The rumor had been circulating for several months, it is now official: Sylvie Tellier is leaving her position as Director General of the Miss France Committee and giving way to Cindy Fabre. After 17 years within the organization, Sylvie Tellier will now devote herself to entrepreneurial projects and will obviously not be in the next season of the star Academy, as had been mentioned. She still keeps an honorary title of Honorary President of the Miss France society and will co-present, for the last time this year, the ceremony with Jean-Pierre Foucault.
Sylvie Tellier will be replaced by Cindy Fabre, elected Miss France 2005 during the election of December 11, 2004 which was held in Tours. Mother of a little boy, named Enzo, she worked in an event company in Dijon. She had participated in the integration trip of Diane Leyre, Miss France 2022, last May in Guadeloupe.
Miss France: Sylvie Tellier reacts to her departure
Sylvie Tellier reacted to her departure in the columns of TV Magazine. She explains : “It’s a major life change for me after seventeen years of involvement in the competition. But it’s not my company, and I wanted to give a new direction to my career.” Sylvie Tellier specifies keeping “an advisory rolel” until December to ensure a smooth transition, recalling: “When Geneviève de Fontenay left, I suffered that she couldn’t cut the cord…”
If some mentioned a disagreement between Sylvie Tellier and Alexia-Laroche Joubert, Sylvie Tellier specifies that her departure is not linked to the arrival of the producer: “I am not leaving because of the arrival of Alexia Laroche-Joubert, who is a great television professional, but because I feel that I have achieved my objectives.”
Sylvie Tellier moved: “I’m going to cry, that’s for sure”
Sylvie Tellier leaves with the feeling of accomplishment, thinking she has “modernized the competition while preserving its values”, having created “a real family”. She still has some regrets: “When I started out, I sometimes lacked roundness in my words. I certainly hurt people. But I learned from that. I took so many slaps it made me grow.”
Proud of her work within the Miss France organization, Sylvie Tellier does not hide her emotion when turning the page: “It will be difficult because the competition is part of my life. I lived and slept Miss France for seventeen years, to the point of forgetting myself, sometimes. On stage, I’m going to cry, that’s for sure… But I’m also impatient to start this new chapter of my life.”
