It’s no secret that Blanche Gardin doesn’t have her tongue in her pocket! And the actress – once again – proved it this Thursday, April 20, 2023 on Facebook – by revealing the reasons why she refused to participate in the next edition of the show LOL: who laughs comes out! broadcast on Prime Video. Being a committed artist, the main interested party assured that her values did not match those of the company.
“I would be embarrassed (not to say downright painful) to be paid 200,000 euros for a day’s work even if I lose at your game, when the charity of my choice wins, it , 50,000 euros, that is to say 4 times less, and again, only if I win”, pointed out Blanche Gardin in her open letter addressed to Jeff Bezos, the boss of Amazon.
A rant that caused a stir in the media. But also on the web. Always on the lookout for current topics, Cyril Hanouna obviously bounced back on the star’s remarks this Monday, April 24 on the set of “Touche pas à mon poste”. Obviously, his team was quite divided about this speech. Like Géraldine Maillet who has – however – always been sensitive to her humor: “It’s a shame because she makes me laugh a lot and I think her shows are brilliant and she has a lot of talent”.

And to add not without bitterness: “Unfortunately when she speaks as a citizen, she has a kind of posture which is a sham. Here, she is in a kind of lesson-giving demagoguery which is unbearable”.“It’s unbearable”, conceded Cyril Hanouna. “If she goes to the end of her system: Her books must absolutely not be sold on Amazon. Her videos must no longer be on Amazon… Her series must no longer be sold on Amazon. totally out of the system at that time […]”, was annoyed the companion of Daniel Riolo. “It throws a total discredit on his colleagues”.
Same story for Valérie Benaïm who did not go with a dead hand to tackle her: “I went to look on Amazon, she notably sells her book ‘I must speak to you’ […]in this case remove your book from sale […]. She says that going to a platform is the death of cinema. But his show, it’s on Netflix… So at that point, you also have to remove it from Netflix”. For her, being contradictory, Blanche Gardin would have gone much too far: “When she says 200,000 euros for a day’s work and 50,000 euros for an association… But who’s stopping you from giving 50,000 to the association as planned and the 200,000 you earned for a day’s work to an association? […].
Valérie Benaïm also regretted the fact that the artist indirectly attacks Amazon customers “I find that for people who buy on Amazon I find that it’s telling them what you’re doing: ‘It’s dirty. It’s not good […] You are bad consumers and I what I do: it’s pure'”. It remains to be seen whether Blanche Gardin will respond to their tackles… Case to follow!
