It was supposed to be a beautiful moment shared with the family, but not everything went as desired. As reported The voice of the NorthJérémy Fradin, a young man of 20 with motor disabilities, and his father, François, went to Paris on November 14 to attend the recording of the game The 12 strokes of noon in which Fanny, 22, was to participate. A program that the Fradin family follows “almost every day for years”, as Fanny assured the regional daily. “I applied several times to be able to take Jérémy and show her how it’s done on a TV set“, added the young woman, determined to dethrone the midday master under the watchful eye of her relatives. However, Jérémy and his father were not welcomed as they had hoped: the young man, in a wheelchair, was denied access to the set, because no place was planned to install this chair. The production judged that Jeremy’s safety could be compromised in the event of a fire on the set, because they thought that the young man could not walk, and therefore evacuate the premises.

“I saw them arrive with red, angry eyes”
However, Jeremy’s situation is quite different. “They came across a person who didn’t want to hear anything when we told him that Jérémy was able to walk and that my husband, a firefighter, could be there in case of an emergency”, explained Franckie, Jérémy’s mother, absent at the time of filming. The production team then led Jérémy and his father to the dressing rooms, where Fanny was installed. “I saw them arrive with red and angry eyes“, she remembered, before specifying that she had been ready “not to go shoot the show” after learning how his brother had been treated. A production member, however, brought Jeremy and his father onto the set. to install them in the public after seeing that the young man could indeed move around without his wheelchair.
Fanny very disappointed with the show
Although the problem was eventually resolved, the Fradin family remains traumatized by this experience. “We should no longer be faced with this kind of situation in 2022. It is symbolic of a lack of consideration for people with disabilities in France even if there are laws to avoid that”, blasted Franckie, in tears. For her part, Fanny expressed her great disappointment: “It’s really not a show where we would have thought to live that, it advocates a tolerance that we have not seen.” As pointed out The voice of the North, the production of 12 strokes of noon apologized to the family, while admitting that“no place for wheelchairs has been provided” when the TF1 game board was redone two years ago. The technical teams, however, promised that they would soon fix this error.
