A person who made Chimène Badi a "puppet"

After releasing an album to cope with her mother's cancer, Chimène Badi crossed paths with a person who "upset" her life, but in the "bad sense" of the term.

"I had an unpleasant encounter in the profession," she explains to Frédéric Lopez.

"An unpleasant meeting is meeting someone who will screw you up, who will destroy your career, your mind, your person and make you a puppet", she explains.

At the time, Chimène Badi treated herself "with food".

"In fact, I was calming down. I was filling a void. It's pure pain," says the singer, who suffered for several years from eating disorders.

Today, Chimène Badi is finally breathing.

Well in her head and in her body, she found her freedom, a freedom that "is priceless"...
