She gives herself up like never before. In an interview with “Télé 7 Jours”, on the occasion of the release of his autobiography “Showtime” on April 2 (Kero editions), Laurence Boccolini reveals to suffer from a rare tumor, which causes him headache and tinnitus. “It is an extremely rare intra tympanic paraganglioma that has settled in an area that cannot be achieved under penalty of touching swallowing, voice or paralyzing the muscles of my face or shoulder,” said the 61 -year -old host.
However, the one who presents “password” and “the children of TV” on France 2 would like to specify that it is not a cancerous tumor. “You can’t do anything except to prevent it from growing via radiotherapy,” she adds. Before joking: I who love radio so much, it’s a shame anyway! »»
“It is a gift that I decided to make myself, to tell how it was really”
In her interview, Laurence Boccolini also returns to the reasons that pushed her to tell. “I rarely made myself a gift and never appeared on my sorrows. But there, I arrive at an age when the fear of losing your job is diminishing and I do not want to leave with this baggage. Be careful, I do not put myself in any case in a victim position or not seek to be complained, but it is a gift that I decided to make myself, to tell how it was really. Nothing more, ”she says.
She also evokes there once when a restaurateur tried to poison him with a coffee at the time of the “weak link”, another where a producer wanted to put “a more beautiful animator” by her side. “I come from a world where I was taught that the boss was always right and that it was important not to make waves or stories. Be almost invisible, never bring it back and above all keep your job! The fear of losing your job sometimes makes the unacceptable accept. I was especially taught never to rebel, ”she confesses.
Same thing for his passage in “We are not lying” in 2008, where Éric Zemmour and Éric Naulleau were particularly virulent. “If I had to do it again, I would withdraw my microphone, would rise and tell them that I am not here to be insulted. I would miss them and put a shot on them. And even if we would talk about the event the next day in the press, it would be done and Basta, she says today. But that day, I was not there for me. For them, it is undoubtedly forgotten, it has had no importance; They had to be delighted to have made good TV. »»
