To everyone's surprise, Audrey-Louise Beauséjour was removed from Star Académie in the seventh episode of the season airing in 2022. We believed that her voice and charisma would take her much further in this adventure. She also appeared in the shows “The Melody of Happiness” and “7”, and in 2024 we will see her in the musical comedy “Le Matou”.
