François Alu and Chris Marques work side by side as members of the “Dancing with the Stars” jury. But it would seem that the acolytes don't get along so well . Indeed, on the set of the flagship program of TF1, the tensions are palpable. On Friday, September 30, 2022, moreover, they haven't stopped bickering .

'François, he's nice Chris, isn't he? Asked Camille Combal to the one who would be in a relationship with Denitsa Ikonomova.

François Alu, victim of Bulimia

With this tension, the future of François Alu as a juror of the TF1 competition would prove to be very vague. Asked about the subject, the principal concerned confessed:

'I don't know yet if there will be a new season. All I can tell you is that I'm on good terms with the production. I already have a lot of projects going on so let's wait and see if the show will come back first. If so, we will discuss it when the time comes. »

Anyway, with or without DALS, the year 2023 will be the busiest for François Alu, this former bulimic . Indeed, as a reminder, he suffered from his size, a little too imposing for his environment. Forced to lose weight, the resident of the Paris Opera had big complexes and had to deal with 'bulimic urges' .

“There are times when I will throw myself on the food. I think back to a time that was a bit darker, where I watched movies and had my bag of candy, my pizza, my cakes and my soda. I was just destroying myself,” he said.

Chimène Badi and her eating disorders

In addition to François Alu, Chimène Badi, who was present on the set that day also claimed that she suffered from bulimia .

Chimène Badi flies to Quebec and records her first song, 'Entre nous'. These albums are successes, but behind the scenes it's a different story .

'I live it like a robot,' she recalls.

The incessant criticism of his physique and his weight, especially in the celebrity press, do not help .

'At 20, it's very very hard, how do you cope with all that? »

She then becomes bulimic because “there is a lack” .

'We calm down by filling the void, it's pain in its purest form because at the time, it soothes, but behind it we are so disappointed in ourselves, to hurt ourselves,' he said. she testified.

It's an 'unpleasant' encounter in the profession that 'will screw her up' to the point that she feels “like a puppet” which will make her react . Chimène Badi analyzes alongside François Alu, Michel Boujenah and Frédéric Lopez that “it is an immense evil for an immense good”. Today, Chimène Badi says she is 'freed from the gaze of others'. The singer assures him, 'With strength, the desire to get out of it and the right entourage, we can get there' .
