Could be that she also had some bad experiences.
She told also in an interview, where someone from a french band she was working with at that time (2004), bragged he would be able to seduce her. And this was making the rounds even to her family, and then she stopped the cooperation.

In this interview she talks about that episode:

Perhaps she is glad to be out of this for a while. And as she said in the recent interview, that she can always get back to song later.


Although what we see on the stage is glamorous, what happens off stage can be pretty shabby. I'm sure Alizee has been sexually harassed many times, not only by other entertainers and corporate executives but even by her fans.

I suspect she is possibly more sensitive to insults than most people. There is a photo of her sitting in the Sony waiting room before they canceled her contract.
She looks extremely downtrodden. Unfortunately, I never saved that photo. I suspect one of Sony's executives insulted her singing talent, and that is what led to her boycott of further recordings. We know how stubborn she is. Perhaps she has lost confidence in her singing talent. On the other hand, her experiences dancing with Gregorie have run like a fairy tale, so that side of her life has been a phenomenal success. How long that will last is hard to say.

She only has one life and must navigate that according to her will. I don't begrudge her decision to leave the business, but I do mourn her loss.
