Many others strongly disagreed with such conclusions. Sonia Devillers, a media critic at the public radio station France Inter, said that rather than bolster distrust in the media, TF1’s interview was a radical expression of confidence in its viewers’ powers of discernment, while also arguing that it “accorded mental illness a level of dignity unprecedented in television history.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization, thanked Stromae for highlighting the topic of suicide, as did various French experts in suicide prevention, one of whom said Stromae’s frank testimony in front of such a big audience will “clearly save lives.” TF1, meanwhile, defended itself against its critics. “We went into Stromae’s universe while respecting our DNA,” Yoann Saillon, the artistic director of TF1, told 20 Minutes. “It’s the famous storytelling that Americans know so well.” Coudray, for her part, said that the interview was “a moment of truth,” and that those “very much have their place in TV news.”
