In his show In the retro broadcast on France Bleu, Deborah Grunwald offers its listeners a journey through time, a look back at the lives and careers of its guests. Monday, January 2, 2023, she received JoeyStarr, member of the NTM group. During this exchange, the 55-year-old actor agreed to return to his childhood during which he suffered from “emotional void“. How did he manage to fill this gap? “We let our imagination run free, the music among other things… Fortunately, I lived on the ground floor so soon enough, I could see what was happening outside. It also helped me to roam on the spot finally there you go, kid’s things“, he explained.
“I am still under construction in my relationship with others“
JoeyStarr was also exposed to violence from his father. “Without this violence, would you have been JoeyStarr today?“, asked the host. “Of course that’s part of… It’s not something that I would put into practice to have children uplifted. I think there are other ways to educate children. I spend a lot of time telling my children (…) that I am very proud of them and that I love them. It’s more engine“, he began. And to continue: “I had to build myself with all that. I found myself on my own because I left. All this means that today, even at 55, I am still someone who is still under construction in my relationship with others (…) There is one thing that I managed to do, it is not to abuse my children, not to fall into certain faults which are part of the basis of my education“.

“He never asked about his grandchildren“
JoeyStarr did not stop there in his confidences. Indeed, he revealed that his father’s violence towards him was not only physical. “In terms of mistreatment (…) it was above all very verbal. I was like someone with Stockholm Syndrome. I missed the guy, I wondered what happened to him, when I realized that he didn’t give a fuck. It’s someone today who doesn’t have never asked about his grandchildren, but even them, what have they done to you? (…) I understand some things, but I do not excuse. How can you be so carried away by your pride? It’s dizzying (…) Life offers me (…) children, I might as well focus on that“, he confided.
