As the first season of “Star Academy” turns 20, certain memories of the show painfully recall uninhibited television sexism. Among them, the problematic joke of the popular participant Jean-Pascal Lacoste.
Remember, Jean-Pascal and Mario were the two jokes of the first promotion of the star Academy. If the 16 participants were there for the musical competition, it was indeed their daily frescoes and their confidences that captured the attention of viewers. However, one day, the two companions decide to make a joke in very bad taste: “With Mario, we grabbed the shopping list and added an inflatable doll. We didn’t think the images would stay. Since then, they have been roaming the Net “.
Even if Loft Story had been broadcast a few months previously, the two troublemakers did not perceive the impact that their actions could have. And in the 2000s, feminist movements unfortunately did not have the same reach as they do today. This joke way boy’s club today appears to be frankly out of place, as Jean-Pascal himself recognizes.
