The latest episode of Léna Situations’ podcast, Couch, was released on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. In this episode, the French influencer handed over the microphone to Charlotte Cardin, a singer-songwriter, to discuss a crucial topic: the body shaming she experiences daily.
“Toute ma vie, je me fais dire que j’étais anorexique”
Charlotte Cardin doesn’t hesitate to speak out against the constant criticism she receives about her body. These remarks are not new to her, as they have followed her since childhood.
Despite the teasing and ongoing comments about her appearance, the artist of the hit track “Feel Good,” with over 115 million streams, remains confident in herself: “À l’intérieur, je sais qui je suis et c’est une constante.”
“I have really experienced humiliations”: Charlotte Cardin reflects on her fashion industry experience
During a conversation about sexist remarks and humiliations, Cardin also opens up about her professional life in the fashion industry. She shares her encounters with various forms of violence and harsh treatment, expressing how challenging the industry can be, especially for minors.
Critiques about her physique were perplexing as they contradicted previous experiences. The industry deemed her not thin enough: “Je n’étais pas assez maigre.”
Since then, the artist has completely left the fashion industry, calling it a toxic world that she does not enjoy as much as music.
In light of the continuous body shaming and patriarchal humiliations women face, Charlotte Cardin and Léna Situations reached a common conclusion: “We can never win” or in French, “On ne peut jamais gagner.” They both have dealt with criticism and societal pressures, emphasizing the challenges women endure.
