The global luxury group Kering celebrated its 10th anniversary with great fanfare this Friday, September 15, 2023. Around François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, a host of stars responded to the call, including actress and producer Julie Gayet, and singer and model Carla Bruni. If the two women posed all smiles for the photographers’ flashes, in the company of Salma Hayek and Mathilde Pinault, in private, the atmosphere is less rosy.
“I despise him”
Indeed, on September 19, during a meeting with LR deputies, Nicolas Sarkozy admitted that he “despised” his successor François Hollande, against whom he lost in the second round of the 2012 presidential election. So much so that regularly, when the two men have to meet, for official events in particular, Nicolas Sarkozy would criticize him about his weight, in him repeatedly asking, “Haven’t you gained a kilo?“
Behind the bickering, a deep grudge from Nicolas Sarkozy which dates back more than 10 years. The day he left the Élysée with Carla Bruni, the one who arrived there with Valérie Trierweiler had not respected republican protocol. Not only had he not accompanied his predecessor to the exit of the palace after their symbolic handshake, but he had also entered the palace before Nicolas Sarkozy could even reach the car.
Carla Bruni wrote a song against François Hollande
A lack of courtesy about which Carla Bruni even made a song, “The Penguin“, where she tackled: “Penguins are bad manners, I have to give him some deportment lessons”, “I will teach you the penguin, I will teach you to kiss my hand”, “You will swallow the penguin, yes you will swallow your disdain”.
This Friday evening, in Paris, it was not time for politics, but for the celebration of the Pinault family, also with: François Pinault Jr, François Pinault, François-Henri Pinault, Maryanne Pinault. The fights will have to wait!
