This Friday, January 26, Joyce Jonathan was one of Faustine Bollaert’s guests, in It starts today. The singer spoke at length about the eating disorders from which she suffered for many years, and from which she is now free.
Her relationship with her body, Joyce Jonathan had already briefly mentioned it over the years, in different interviews. But rarely has the 34-year-old singer been as transparent as in Laurie Darmon’s book, Body to hearts, in which the author invited several personalities to confide. Former Miss France Laury Thilleman notably spoke about the very difficult period when she was trying to have a child, while confronting rumors about her. “I’ll spare you the moments when I was told about my own pregnancy, even though I had been trying to have a child for maybe two years, and it wasn’t working!“, she declared in particular.
For Joyce Jonathan, the discomfort arose during her relationship with Thomas Hollande, her ex-partner. “When I don’t see it, I starve myself ; When I see him, I eat more or less normally.”confided the one who claims that she was leading “a double life“. Then continue: “With weight loss, I especially see the outlook of others change, I then convince myself that I found the solution, and that it was all just a matter of weight“.

Guest on the set of It starts today, this Friday, January 26, Joyce Jonathan returned to this painful period. “I feel deeply liberated. I feel like an expiration of these ten years which were endless. I never thought I would get better. I didn’t think you could cure an eating disorder. I read testimonials on the Internet, I searched for videos on Youtube […] It’s important to talk about it to say that it’s not shameful“, she explained to Faustine Bollaert. Then added: “We are almost less ashamed to talk about someone who is a drug addict than someone who is bulimic or anorexic.while there are many more of us than we think going through this“.
The singer intends to put her notoriety at the service of her message, as she confirmed on set. “We have the floor on TV, in songs. I always sang about my feelings, my experiences. It was inevitable for me to talk about it because it is no longer a taboo subject“, she confided. A very strong testimony.
