Everyone remembers Nathalie Simard. Her smile, her voice, this little girl who became a huge star in Quebec.

But behind that smile was a reality the public couldn't see.

In this video, I revisit her story, starting with the civil lawsuit filed in 2005 against Guy Cloutier. We discover the extent of his control over her, both in her career and her personal life.

I tell you how this relationship began when she was still a child, the years of silence, the fear, the guilt, and the consequences Nathalie described having endured for years.

But there's also a particularly important episode: the one where Nathalie Simard agreed to cooperate with the police and managed to get Guy Cloutier to talk while their conversation was being recorded.

Because behind the star that all of Quebec watched grow up, there was a child whose suffering no one suspected.

A difficult story, but an important one to tell and not forget.

Welcome to **À Livre Ouvert**.

My name is Nancie. Here, I tell you true stories. Stories that have marked the world... or should have. I'm interested in celebrities, of course... but also in scandals, human tragedies, injustices, disasters, major trials, historical events... and all those stories that we too often end up forgetting.

I like to look at things differently. To ask questions. To see what we aren't always shown. Especially when it involves the star system and the inner workings of power. Because, in my opinion... beautiful or not... if it's true, the world has the right to know. It doesn't matter if the story happened here or on the other side of the world. Whether it's recent... or dates back several decades. If it deserves our attention, we will. My goal isn't to tell you what to think. On the contrary. I want to bring certain stories back into the news, give you context, raise questions, and let you form your own opinion. Because behind every event,

there are human beings. Consequences. Lessons. And sometimes... truths we prefer not to see.

I'm from Quebec... but I don't limit myself to Quebec. Through my research, my life experience, and my perspective as a woman, I simply share my understanding of the events that shape our society. I don't claim to hold the truth, far from it. I simply want to open up the discussion. As always, I love reading your comments and hearing your opinions. Your insights enrich the conversation and often bring perspectives I hadn't considered.

The heart of my project isn't politics or even current events. On this channel, we talk about celebrities, trials, news stories, historical events, social issues, public figures, forgotten cases, and topics that continue to spark debate. I tell these stories from my own perspective, sharing my emotions, experiences, and questions. Because to learn, you have to understand. And to understand, you sometimes have to take the time to look beyond the headlines. I'm not affiliated with any political party. I prioritize frank discussions, archives, testimonies, documents, and critical analysis based on my research, observations, and experience. For me, no subject is off-limits when you open a history book, a forgotten case, or a page of our collective memory.
