“Our influencers are talented”
“Hi guys, I hope you are all doing well”, she says while brushing her long brown hair. And to continue, in English: “I’m about to do my skincare routine, as usual… And because I’m an influencer, this is the only thing I have to do today, then I’m going back to bed. There I try to do it in English so that it looks like new content for you and of course, I’m not going to put a hashtag because my subscribers are not French, they come from all over the world. And if the DGCCRF wants to catch mecatch me outside, how about that, you little shit.” A publication which sparked strong reactions.

Subsequently, Carla Moreau’s BFF explained at length the reasons that push influencers to speak English. “This morning I open Soukaina’s story and I see that she speaks English… So that’s the metaverse. Once, I woke up in the middle of the night, I opened a TikTok live and I saw Sarah Fraisou speaking in English… it shocked me, I said to myself: ‘But what’s going on?’ And there, I see Soukaina… I panicked, I told myself that the fever was making me have hallucinations. Our influencers are talented. The DGCCRF said that basically if you address a French audience, you speak in French so you will pay. And so to avoid paying, she started speaking English. My mother’s life from now on I will start speaking English. I don’t want to be taxed“. Those concerned will appreciate…
