Television and writing, same job?
For Géraldine Maillet, yes.
The two prisms would be complementary.
“
'TPMP'
gives its opinion on social events, the same applies to 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 go from one to the other while keeping the same authenticity”
, specifies
“the writer rather than a writer”.

If Géraldine Maillet has many things to say about “Touche pas à mon poste”, she came above all to talk about
the collective work
125 et des Milles
, thought out and designed by Sarah Barukh.
Every two and a half days, a woman is killed by her boyfriend or ex-boyfriend.
A statistic that boils down to the chilling figure of 125 feminicides each year in France.
The instigator of the project, herself a former victim of domestic violence by her ex-husband and father of her child, called on 125 "
penholders"
to
"embody these deceased"
.
"We give them flesh when they are corpses"
, crudely imaged by Géraldine Maillet.

The writer, who already has 19 books to his credit, has drawn a 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.
We feel both immodest but also in the urgency of seizing this story”
, says Géraldine Maillet who hopes that this book
“will be useful to all women”
.
"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 Gayet, Valérie Trierweiler or Marlène Schiappa.
“The cause is so much above our little egos, our little jealousies, pettiness and personal stories.
It's beautiful,”
she says.
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 in
'Touche pas à mon poste'
.
Others have refused to come and carry the work and that is not good.
It is 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.
The columnist congratulates the program for
“this mixture of genres and the improbable encounters that result from it”
.

Faced with certain guests at the origin of scandals, such as recently Gérard Fauré an openly conspiratorial former drug dealer, Géraldine Maillet sees
“no problem”
in their expressing themselves freely in “TPMP” but issues a condition.
“There must be contradiction in front of them”
, she commented, recalling that she is even
“spearhead against conspiracy theories”.
Renowned for repeated conflicts, the C8 talk show is to be perceived, according to Daniel Riolo's companion, as
"a big family dinner"
and jokes by assuring that the number one rule is
"above all not to be resentful" .
