Singer Lio discussed her experiences of being blacklisted by the television and media industry approximately 20 years after the murder of Marie Trintignant. During an appearance on the France 5 program 'C à vous, la suite' on Saturday, November 14, 2026, Lio stated that she was sidelined from TV sets and distanced by industry professionals due to her committed stances and refusal to defend Bertrand Cantat. She described the experience as a 'method of retaliation,' claiming that industry insiders would label her 'unmanageable' to ensure she was not invited back. Lio noted that while she was perceived as 'crazy' or 'hysterical' at the time, she now views her reactions as engaged and measured relative to a media wave that she believes romanticized the events. Now 64 years old, Lio continues her activism, including participation in Femen actions and voicing opinions on legal complaints involving Patrick Bruel. She expressed that utilizing her notoriety to speak her mind without reservation has become a personal pleasure. Additionally, it was announced that Lio will perform at the Olympia on December 17.
