"Archi slammed" : Chris (Star Academy) reveals that he suffers from depression

Aficionados have already noted the date in their diaries: the first prime of the new season of star Academy will be broadcast live on Saturday November 4, from 9:10 p.m. on TF1. At the helm, we will of course find Nikos Aliagas, but also former academic Karima Charni. Last year, the most nostalgic fans of this show, now cult, were over the moon, because the program was making a comeback on the channel, after several years of absence. This “new generation” edition was won by the young Anisha. Among the other students in his class were Louis, Léa, Enola and even Chrisa candidate from Bièvres (Essonne). This Friday, September 15, the young man shared a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), in which he reveals he suffers from depression for many months.

Chris (star Academy): his subscribers support him

“I’ve been on vacation for more than two months in a charming country that I already knew: depression. Frankly, I seriously don’t recommend it, you’re so fucked up”detailed the ex-academician, who was 28 years old when he participated in the Star Ac’. In just a few hours, his message was “seen” by more than 4,000 Internet users, who rushed to comment to show him their full support. Among the many reactions, we can cite the following: “I know with both my parents. Hang in there, we love you”, “Courage Chris, we support you”, “She often comes to visit me, I know what it’s like… I sympathize, take courage!! Today the rain, tomorrow the sun”or “Courage Chris! Don’t give up! It will pay off in the end, I’m sure of it!”

Faced with anxiety, the power of music

This is not the first time that Chris has spoken on the Internet about the painful emotions he goes through. The one who was eliminated at the end of the fifth bonus with Tiana revealed, last February, that he suffered from social anxiety. “I haven’t shouted it from the rooftops, but you have to know that I’m anxious. I had a lot of anxiety, well before the Star Ac’“, he detailed on Instagram, when justifying the reasons why he had deserted social networks for a while. He then specified that he had, at times, experienced a certain discomfort during his stay in Dammarie-les-Lys, ensuring that “(s)His comrades knew about it.”. The young man confided that he had sometimes felt shame in the past, but also that music helped him overcome his crises.
