Violent, mean, degrading, appalling: Marie-Mai’s manager, Shannie Ladouceur, has no shortage of words to describe the messages received by her protegee. Although not directed at him, these comments had a negative effect on his mental health.

“Over time, we have received a lot of terrible messages and insults. There have been cases taken to the police and complaints filed which have led to warnings. But nothing that has not gone to court, ”says the one who has worked with the singer for 18 years.
She remembers with pain the time when she was in charge of monitoring the social networks of the singer at the start of her career.
“At one point, I said: ‘It’s over,’ she says. It was appalling to read all this against this person I adore. I was completely drained, my mental health was going to suffer.
Bold
Aware that “Marie-Mai will always be polarizing”, the manager reveals that the comments have been particularly aggressive for two years.
“What I find really disturbing is that the audacity is pushed to an extreme point. For a while, we have been confronted a lot with fake profiles in the name of Marie-Mai. These people come directly to his Facebook and Twitter pages to challenge his fans and defraud them. It takes nerve!”
Fake contests and fraudulent advertisements touting “slimming pills or creams” in her name are also commonplace for Marie-Mai. She had to contact lawyers to find out how to handle this kind of problem.
Protected by her fans
On Instagram, those who dare to post nasty comments about the singer-songwriter are quickly picked up by her admirers. On the other hand, on the pages of television shows or gossip sites, the detractors spoil themselves.
“She takes herself for a superstar that one, it doesn’t look good, that’s what I hate about her.”
“Marie-Mai, you can be happy to have parents in the system.”
“She speaks too loudly.”
All these derogatory comments can be found in a few clicks on the show’s page Big Brother Celebrities that she animates.
The accusations that affect her integrity are those that hurt the singer and those around her the most.
“The only protection that exists is not to read these comments and to distance yourself from the networks, continues the manager. Marie-Mai tries to tap into the love and energy of people on her own pages. I have so much admiration for her. It’s hard to see all the aggressiveness of social networks.
