For several months now, Matthieu Delormeau has hosted TPMP People. In this show, Cyril Hanouna’s columnist receives artists, show biz personalities and even reality TV stars. And often, the tone rises on the set, and clashes are not rare. But last Saturday, viewers were not treated to new images. Instead, they were only able to find a compilation of the most notable moments of the program. Thus, certain passages, showing the interventions of Véronique Genest, were part of the rebroadcast. Comments considered disturbing by many Internet users.
Véronique Genest: portrait and career
Originally from Meaux, the actress was born in 1956. She remains mainly known to the general public for the character of Julie Lescaut., which she played in the eponymous series. This fiction was broadcast on TF1 a few years ago. But before landing this role, Véronique Genest also made numerous appearances in commercials broadcast on television. We have seen it since the 1980s, in spots for Mir laundry detergent, Knorr broth and Père Dodu.
Among the opportunities that launched her career, we also find her interpretation of Nana, a miniseries inspired by the famous novel by Émile Zola, in which she plays the main role. In parallel, Véronique Genest also had a career in the theater, which earned him numerous distinctions. But in addition to her ability to give the answer, the actress also caused a lot of talk, because of certain controversial statements. We will explain everything to you.
Twitter: criticism rains down on the actress
Indeed, Véronique Genest believes that her career suffered because of her outspokenness. Moreover, in the sequence rebroadcast on Saturday on C8, the red-haired actress participated in a TPMP People debate, entitled “My big mouth cost me dearly.” It must be said that it has often sparked controversy, particularly by evoking Islam. Also, during her time on the set, she had to face questions from Matthieu Delormeau. And these answers did not necessarily convince the public.
“I never supported Eric Zemmour, I said that I found what he said interesting. »
To make matters worse, Véronique Genest also addressed the question of the vaccine against the Coronavirus.
“I am not anti-vaccine, I am vaccinated, but it is to give people the right to decide what they are going to do with their bodies. »
To top it off, the actress ventured into slippery territory, returning to the war between kyiv and the Kremlin.
“I am neither for Ukraine nor pro-Putin. »
For Internet users, this rebroadcast therefore generated a lot of weariness. »

Nevertheless, Véronique Genest claims loud and clear a certain freedom of tone.
“Since I was little, I have been against doxa and dogma. Me, I need why, how. (…) I don’t want to work with people with whom you have to keep your mouth shut to be part of their network. »
However, on social networksthis posture did not really please the public.
