“She lived a fairy tale. Now, all of that has been shaken. I saw a Celine who clearly made a decision that was determined, very strong, courageous and not to give up. I think the message she’s going to send tonight is going to be very powerful and important, because she’s going to be able to quietly address these issues. It will help many people who experience it.“. – Nathalie Simard.
