Geneviève Everell announces big news

Miss Sushi à la maison, or Geneviève Everell as she is known, has been sharing her passion for food with you for several years now. After winning the hearts of her subscribers with her delicious recipes, the accomplished entrepreneur shared some sad news almost a year ago: she had breast cancer.

As the months went by, Geneviève opened up to her subscribers at every stage of her journey. With transparency, vulnerability and kindness, she gave an account of her battle. You were able to see her on her best days, as well as her most difficult, when she was weakened by the ordeal that was taking her over.

However, in her most recent Dear Diary shared in a story on Instagram, it’s wonderful news that she announces: she no longer has cancer!

After undergoing a partial mastectomy, doctors analyzed her cells and officially told her there was no trace of cancer left.

“My operation was on August 5, but I received the pathology in mid-August, even before, like on August 12. So I’ve been keeping it a secret all this time for a lot of different reasons. First, I was in a bit of a state of shock. Secondly, I was more in the mode of waiting for someone to call and for it to be like a dream (…) I wanted to take the time to tell my friends, my family, my loved ones… and also to realize the journey I’ve been on. It was after the pathology of my operation that I was told I no longer had cancer. It’s funny because I’ve just done an interview (…) and it’s the first time I’ve said it out loud , to the public, to people, knowing full well that I was going to do my Dear Diary 57 seconds later, because I really want you to be the first to know, because it’s really you who have been there for me. It made me dizzy when I said it; it makes me dizzy right now to tell you that I’m cancer-free,” she explained, opening up about the incredible news and the effect it had on her.

She went on to explain that she was still going to undergo radiotherapy, even though the oncologist told her it wasn’t compulsory as there was no cancer at all. Geneviève wants to go ahead with it as a preventive measure, to make sure she has every chance on her side.

On another note, the cooking enthusiast announced the arrival of a forthcoming recipe book on tablets, very soon.

She also added that this weekend, in honour of the Montreal Marathon, over 150 people will be running after raising funds to contributeto the fight against breast cancer, an initiative launched by Frédérique Dufort. Thanks to this initiative, $20,000 has been raised. Wow!

We’re very happy for her, and can’t wait to see all the wonderful projects that are coming up for her!

However, the couple made an exception to the rule, and indulged in a little outing in honor of the Gémeaux ceremony. She walked the red carpet with Dominic, with whom she shares a daughter, Margot, and a son, Oscar.

OD’s Lara and Vincent are happier than ever!

Since their exit fromOccupation Double Andalousie, Lara Lamothe and Vincent Charron Langevin have been perfectly happy. The proof? The couple are constantly sharing their sweet moments on social networks.

Recently, they dazzled us again with a far too cute post, with the only description: “Amore”.

In the photo carousel, the lovers tenderly embrace each other on what appears to be a farm, smiles split across their lips, before going for a walk by the river.

You’ve got to admit, they’re too beautiful!

Singer-songwriter Luc De Larochellière has been in a relationship with Andrea Lindsay for several years now.

A love that continues to grow for the lovebirds, who are also parents to a young son, Louis!

The couple recently decided to make their love official with a wedding at Beechmore Manor in the Eastern Townships. The newlyweds made the announcement on social networks with a lovely family portrait.

“So. Here it is, in a nutshell. Andrea Lindsay and I got married. In the photo, my daughter Claudel, Andrea, our son Louis and me,” Luc announced, in all simplicity.

Misogyny still rages on social networks and many denounce it

Despite constant interventions, open denunciations in stories and reports on the subject, we have to admit that many people still haven’t learned how to behave civically on the Internet. These people hide behind their screens to indulge in comments, even very violent and unrestrained insults that they wouldn’t make in person. And well-known personalities are easy victims for these trolls, who are shamelessly rampant on social networks. Women are prime targets for these trolls, who don’t hesitate to go out of their way to gratuitously belittle them.

Geneviève Pettersen gave a good example of this recently during one of her 98.5 FM programs. The author and lover of Pierre-Yves McSween shared one of the worst messages she received following a segment where she and Frédéric Labelle were discussing Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante ‘s decision to block comments on certain platforms.

Geneviève went on to read a message she had received on Facebook. She warns listeners first, and we do the same. The next few passages may shock some.

“And here I apologize, listeners, it’s very very raw and it took me two days to get over it. It’s not a joke. You’re an est* de grosse c*nne, I wish you death my dirty old t*rche. You don’t deserve anything you got. You should shut your big ugly dirty mouth. I can’t believe you give yourself the right to speak. I hope you get beaten to death, you old hag. How dare you speak when you’re such a c*nne? (…) Karma will catch up with you and I hope for the worst of the worst of the bad. I want to see you run over by a garbage truck and get beaten up a thousand times, like you say, once isn’t enough. I wish you to be v**led to death (…)”.

Her co-host then asked if she’d pressed charges, to which she replied that she’d stopped doing so, but that yes, it was indeed the type of message for which she could have gone to the police.

Here is the message in full:

Some celebrities reacted to the host’s post, like Kim Lizotte and Manal Drissi, in turn sharing their views on the violence of online comments and messages.

Kim shared Geneviève‘s audio segment, accompanied by a screenshot of a comment received under one of her videos. It reads: “Crazy nasty cr*ss! She knows f*ck all. She’s a wannabe comedian. Get out of your echo chamber est* de folle. Nobody means what you say! Ast* de folle du cal*ce”.

In support of the women who are victims of this gratuitous nastiness, she raises a simple question: But why?

“In support of all the women in the public sphere who experience it regularly. It’s normalized, trivialized, but that’s what it is. We tolerate it and we carry on. But why?” she wonders about the violence experienced on various platforms that, presumably, fail to filter assaults.

In turn, Manal Drissi raised the issue. She returned to her most recent experience on Facebook, at the unveiling of the trailer for a collaborative project with Gabrielle Lisa Collard.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C_s2yRWxtgZ/

The simple unveiling of her series in development provoked a wave of nasty comments on Facebook. In response to these and to Geneviève‘s post, she made a point of reminding us what it means to be a woman or a marginalized individual in the public sphere. The mayor of the Côte-des-Neige-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough, Gracia Kasoki Katahwa, also knows something about this.

For your information, here’s some background on what the mayor of this Montreal borough has experienced:

This is all happening here in Quebec, but misogyny is everywhere. For more information and to see the extent of the damage it causes, we invite you to watch the documentary Je vous salue salope by Léa Clermont-Dion and Guylaine Maroist.

Blink: the moving destiny of a Québécois family

National Geographic has announced a very special new documentary based on the lives of a Quebec family, Blink.

“Following a diagnosis that changed the course of their lives, the Pelletier family embarks on a breathtaking journey to see the world through new eyes. National Geographic captures their race against time on a journey filled with love, discovery and unforgettable memories,” reads the description.

The trailer opens on a desert landscape where mother and daughter are glued together. The mother asks her to close her eyes and name her feelings. The child replies that she feels the wind, the sun… Then the mother asks her if she’d be able to enjoy a place like this if she couldn’t see.

Blink follows a family who have been terribly diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa in three of their children. This is a degenerative genetic eye disease characterized by a progressive and gradual loss of vision, usually leading to complete blindness.

Don’t forget your handkerchiefs on October 4, as you accompany the Pelletier family as they travel the world in pursuit of their children’s dreams.

A rare photo for Christian Bégin and his lover

Together since 2021, Christian Bégin and Marie-Ève Perron had kept a low profile for several years before appearing together publicly.

Clearly very much in love, Christian didn’t hesitate to talk about his sweetheart without mentioning her name, until 2023, when they finally made their public debut at the Gémeaux gala.

The lovebirds took the opportunity of the 39th Gémeaux awards gala, held on September 15, to take a new official photo, in which we find the host flashing a magnificent smile.

Adorable!

We wish them much happiness and many more years of love!

Julie Ringuette and Pascal Morissette deny a rumor

Julie Ringuette and Pascal Morissette are a particularly amusing couple, who distinguish themselves both together and in their distinctive projects. Julie realized her dream of taking part in a musical during the summer, when she played one of the lead roles in Waitress alongside Marie-Ève Janvier. As forPascal, he travelled the roads of Quebec with Anick Dumontet for La Roue de Fortune.

Recently, columnist Hugo Dumas and other media outlets put forward a hypothesis that spread like wildfire: what if the couple were to replace Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge and Émily Bégin as hosts of Si on s’aimait?

While rumors continued to swirl, the couple concerned finally spoke out on the matter.

“How do rumors work in Québécois showbizz ? First of all, thank you so much for this immense wave of love, the positive comments, the text messages, the two guys at RONA who congratulated us on hosting Si on s’aimait: célébrités… Yes, the text messages from well-known personalities, the neighbor in Chertsey, the pages of gossip magazines too. 800 comments. It was fun. Everybody loves us, we’re hotter than we thought. Thanks to Hugo Dumas, who created this tidal wave. But we’re not the ones who’ll be hosting that show. We can’t wait to find out who it is, same as you, but thanks for all the fun. We’re available, though, for your projects. Yeah, well, that’s because WKND radio has closed, Waitress is over and we’ve been inundated. So, we’ve got bills to pay, and as we say in Gaspésie, little bills… We love each other, and we’re available en masse!” explained the couple, laughing and thanking the audience for this surprise and very pleasant dose of love.

If you have other projects in mind, don’t hesitate to contact Julie and Pascal!

No, Alicia Moffet is not pregnant

Last Sunday, the popular red carpet for the new edition ofOccupation Double: OD Mexico was held. Candidates and hosts were all dressed up for the occasion. But that’s not whyAlicia Moffet ‘s dress was the talk of the town.

Following the broadcast of the much-anticipated event, some viewers raised questions about the host’s possible pregnancy… yet again.

With a great deal of openness and humor, Alicia responded to the comments.

“A message of general interest: to all those who write to ask me if I’m pregnant, because you listened to the red carpet and you saw that I had a bump on my belly because I live, breathe and eat (laughs) uh…. And if you’ve listened to OD Extra you’ve noticed that it’s bloating; bloating… a lot of bloating because the trip from Montreal to Mexico, the plane, the Mexican food… It’s not a great cocktail party around my house,” she explained in an early story on her Instagram account.

“Also, the day I’m going to be pregnant and I’m going to want to hide it so it stays a secret, I’m going to hide it a lot better than that right now,” Alicia continued in a second video.

To which Fred responded, in the video:

“What are you going to hide?”

Alicia then explained the viewers’ questioning and Fred then added, to conclude the subject:

“Well no, it’s just because you’ve got gas!”

Well done, Alicia, for your aplomb.
