Apple, singer with sensitive lyrics and voice of the #MeToo movement in music, was crowned female artist at the 36th Victoires de la musique on Friday.
At 24, it's his second Victory, after the revelation album title gleaned last year for "Les Failles".
Thursday, on the eve of the ceremony, she wrote to have been "manipulated, harassed morally and sexually, without being aware of it" in her debut, in an open letter published in Mediapart.
By receiving her prize, she wished for a "safer + (safer) (music) industry for women", hoping that the latter could "overturn the codes" of the environment.
In her open letter, she described her "arrival in the music industry", "traumatic", referring to a period ranging from "my 15 to my 17", without giving a name.
"Being a 30 year old adult facing a 16 year old teenager and breaking her up," she added.
"Succeed in making her believe that she is the problem, by sexualizing her, by belittling her, by controlling her. Leaving walking with both feet on the debris of a destroyed mental health".
"I already talked about it a few years ago, but at the time, I did not have the place I occupy today, it was easier, it made less noise. I will repeat the Things. Let it make more noise today, so much the better, "she concluded.
