Stéphane Bern: “We always love our executioner”
In the same show, Yori Bailleres’ companion also spoke about his homosexuality, which he accepts more at 60 than at 30. He recalled having maintained a complex relationship with his parentson this subject. “One day my mother said to me: ‘I’d rather know you dead than gay.’ I told him: ‘It’s going to be difficult'”, he recalled. Despite these painful memories, Stéphane Bern “all forgiven [s]your parents”. “They gave me a very good education. I loved them. We always love our executioner”, he continued. When he was only 17 years old, the specialist in crowned heads nevertheless left home to stand on his own two feet. “I belonged to the lower middle classhe conceded. We had the means to get out of it […] intellectually.” “There are some who cannot”, reacted Léa Salamé. And Stéphane Bern concludes: “It is for them that I fight.”
