Former singer of the rap group Team BS, Sindy, 27, now expresses herself on social networks under the pseudonym "sindyoff".
But since the young woman spoke of the sexual assault inflicted there, when she was a minor, by a member of her family, she now regularly suffers waves of hate speech and harassment.
“I testified very quickly, at the launch of the #MeToo movement, of the facts of incest of which I was a victim.
But people immediately started to attack me in mode: “Yeah, I'm sure that when your ex-stepfather did that to you, you liked it”, she is indignant.
“I ate expensive on social networks”
However, harassment had already been part of Sindy's daily life for a long time: “I was very quickly placed in a foster family, in a home;
and the day after my placement the bullying started at school”.
Then again when she became a singer: "I was the only girl in a rap group so I ate a lot, frankly, like 'you sucked to get there'... But I was only 17, guys !
You have really weird ideas!
".
For the young woman, solutions exist to get out of the ravages that harassment exerts on the victims: "You need a lot of love, you have to talk, you have to cry, you have to shout, you have to write, you have to evacuate, you have to to play sports, you have to do something.
I never asked to be strong, I had to be and I now want to pass on this knowledge, ”says the one who today fights cyberbullying on social networks.
