Among the first and best known French YouTube stars, Marie Lopez alias EnjoyPhoenix is now at the head of three channels, the main one which has more than 3.5 million subscribers and which she feeds regularly.
Her last video to date, published Tuesday, made a lot of talk about her, both by its title and its theme ("My problem with marriage and children") and by the revelations that the young woman makes there: "J have been abused.
As many.
It feels like it's not sexual abuse, but it actually is.
"
"I didn't want to put any words on it"
EnjoyPhoenix, 26, first speaks about the social pressure weighing on women over marriage and children, she who wants neither for the moment. She also looks back on her adolescence, that period between 12 and 18 “which makes you realize what life is like. The one where you take big slaps. The one where you also know your first disappointments. And disillusionments in love, I had some. I was deceived, I was left badly ”.
Then she reveals that, like many young girls and young women, she has been the victim of sexual abuse: “I only found out very recently because I didn't want to put words on it because for me, at that time. -there, it was not.
"The YouTuber had never spoken about it and still speaks little about it," because I only discovered it very recently during a conversation with my shrink.
She opens my eyes telling me that it was clearly sexual abuse and that if I hadn't wanted to see it, it was because my brain had tried to protect me ”.
If Marie Lopez does not say more, she does not exclude coming back to it in a future video, because it is "important to free the word on this subject".
