Miss France: Who is Hubert Guérin, author of the book that reveals the sexual assaults of candidates?
The 27-year-old released the book "Miss France, from Dream to Reality" on Monday, a book in which one passage reveals sexual assaults suffered by beauty queens. However, two Miss France contestants cited by him claim not to have met him.
By Yves JaegléHe is the man who has the Miss France planet in a frenzy. It's eleven lines, in 492 pages that aren't always fluid. Eight sentences, not one more, but terrible : "I, Miss France, was the victim of rape during my year," and other testimonies of sexual violence, from one or more candidates, remaining anonymous. Hubert Guérin, 27, the author of "Miss France, from dream to reality" - published by Vérone, a small independent publisher - a history of the competition since its beginnings, is not an investigator. He himself admits it: he is, first and foremost, a fan. Since he was little.
At 12 or 13, he wrote to Geneviève de Fontenay . He wanted an autograph, a photo. On the upswing, he grew bolder: "I asked her to have lunch with me, telling her I couldn't afford to invite her. She said yes." They met at the Trois Obus, the canteen of the lady with the hat near the Parc de Princes (Paris 16th). He was a kid: "It was a completely unexpected friendship," he says. "I worked for her as a volunteer from the age of 14 or 15, first posting for her on her social networks. She didn't know anything about it technically, but she was interested."
