Television and writing, same job? For Géraldine Maillet, yes. The two prisms would be complementary. ” “TPMP” gives its opinion on social facts, it is the same for a book. We take a look at the world”notes the guest of “Buzz TV” who “refuses to be put in a box”. “I am free to move from one to the other while keeping the same authenticity”precise “the writer rather than writer”.

The writer, who already has 19 books to his credit, has drawn the portrait of Savannah Torrenti. A 23-year-old Corsican woman killed under the blows of her jealous ex-partner. For this, she received from Sarah Barukh press clippings recounting the tragedy and an audio recording of Mylène, the mother of the victim. “It is poignant work.

“You must not be resentful in ‘Touche pas à mon poste'”
Géraldine Maillet on the reaction to adopt in “TPMP”
Among the 125 authors, her best friend Valérie Bénaïm, Julie GayetValérie Trierweiler or even Marlene Schiappa. “The cause is so much above our little egos, our little jealousies, pettiness and personal stories. That’s wonderful”, she points out. On the other hand, the columnist of “TPMP” regrets that some women refuse to come and talk about the book on the talk show where she responds daily. “I would like Marlène Schiappa to come to “Do not touch My TV”. Others have refused to come and carry the work and that is not good. It’s even a mistake.” she insists.
For seven years, the former model officiates in “Touche pas à mon poste”. An exercise in which Géraldine Maillet flourishes considering that she has fully found her place. “I always say what I think and defend my convictions. I don’t play a character”, she says.
