The appearance of Hinaupoko Devéze, whose salary has been revealed, at the side of a representative of the National Rally party has sparked intense online agitation. Internet users are questioning this unexpected encounter. The photo, shared on social media, reignites the debate about the image of public figures. Between incomprehension and criticism, this sequence places the Miss, who appeared without makeup, at the center of a budding controversy.
Miss France: Balancing between media exposure and personal life
Since her coronation, Hinaupoko Devéze has been making various appearances and living a hectic daily life. She succeeded Angélique Filopon Angarni last December. Quickly, her schedule filled up with events, interviews, and official visits. Thus, she must constantly adapt to this new rhythm. Despite the enthusiasm, this constant exposure is not without consequences. The distance from her loved ones weighs on her morale. She admits: “My family and friends know what I have committed to.” This support remains essential, even though the distance and time difference with Tahiti complicate daily communication.
However, this year of reign also represents a unique opportunity for the young woman. She meets many people regularly, including personalities like Ahmed Sylla, whom she admires. This media whirlwind allows her to gain visibility and experience. Nevertheless, she remains aware of the challenge of maintaining a personal balance. She acknowledges that this demanding period is temporary. “It only lasts a year,” she reminds to put things into perspective. Thus, she already envisions a return to a more stable life. Between passion and constraints, her reign illustrates the often overlooked backstage of the Miss France competition.
A political encounter sparking online controversy
On April 18, a signing session in Sens took an unexpected turn. Julien Odoul, a close associate of Jordan Bardella, shared a photo with the Miss. He accompanied the picture with an enthusiastic message: “Very happy to greet our Miss France […] Thank you for this moment of closeness and simplicity. We have a queen at heart!” This post, shared on X, quickly circulated. However, it did not only elicit positive reactions. On the contrary, many internet users expressed discomfort. Some interpreted this image as an implicit support, triggering a flow of critical and sometimes virulent comments. In these reactions, several messages directly target Hinaupoko Devéze. One can read: “Do you know that you are a dirty racist sexist?” or “France looks so beautiful!”. Others denounce a problematic association with the National Rally party. This controversy highlights the public’s sensitivity to occasional links between media figures and politicians. So far, the main person concerned has not publicly reacted. This silence further fuels the discussions. Thus, this simple encounter becomes a broader topic of debate on the image, neutrality, and responsibilities of public figures.
