Jocelyne Cazin: an unconventional journey

The former journalist Jocelyne Cazin, who has stood out throughout her career through her determination, her courage and her remarkable work, has proven to us that she is not a woman like the others. As she now feels the urge to reveal herself about her private life, it’s no wonder she uses straight talk, agreeing to lay bare in her autobiography and making herself, once again , someone who stands out.

At the dawn of her 70 years, the communicator and ex-journalist who mainly made herself known by co-hosting the show I at TVA wanted to reveal personal details about his life, including his homosexuality, believing that it would not have been possible to do so a few years before. Since submitting her manuscript, she feels freer than ever and freed from a heavy burden.

“I hope to help some women who do not accept their homosexuality”, immediately launches Jocelyne Cazin, who describes herself as a sensual person and a great passionate. This is the observation that we will make by reading his biography where, nevertheless, a certain vulnerability is added, far from the image that the public woman projects. “My vulnerability is doubt,” she says. I created a pretty powerful shell for myself. “

Besides some professional aspects that are discussed in this book, it is mainly her romantic relationships that she depicts in this second book, with a lot of emotion.

Women too

If Jocelyne Cazin has no qualms about revealing her romantic adventures with men, we will quickly realize that she also loved women and that she shared her intimate and loving life with several of them.

“I do this coming out because I believe that in 2020, it is easier to admit bisexuality than homosexuality, ”underlines the author, who is also the winner of four Artis trophies.

One thing is certain, man or woman, it has not always been easy: she even admits that she has become the toy of one of her love conquests. “She managed to manipulate what remained of my dignity,” reveals the ex-journalist, who is not afraid of taboos when recounting his sexual relations.

The difficulties

We understand by reading this book that in several respects, Jocelyne Cazin did not have it easy, both in her personal and professional life.

At times, he was not given gifts. During a program in particular, on her birthday, she was laughed at on the air by implying that she liked women. “I left the studio completely demolished,” says the host.

In addition to the professional difficulties, there was the death of her son, the feeling of rejection, love tears and alcohol too, with excesses that she now controls.

Politics

Reading her book, one inevitably feels some pangs in the heart that she experienced, especially when she talks about her short political career, when she ran for the CAQ for a by-election in the riding of Chauveau and that she was defeated.

Whether she would make the jump into politics again one day, the ex-host replies that she has thought about it, but that she might not be ready to sacrifice her winters in sunny Florida.

Rather, she cherishes other dreams, including that of going on an adventure in a motorized vehicle to cross America.

At the dawn of a new decade, she still feels like a young woman ready to be seduced and to open her arms to many caresses, while also dreaming of discussions to remake the world around a good meal.
