Tensions flared during the thirteenth season of *Dancing with the Stars* after Natasha St-Pier’s victory, fueled by a public dispute with Inès Reg, who accused her of seeking attention through controversy. Both artists shared their viewpoints on social media, with Reg claiming St-Pier’s actions were calculated for her success. Inès later performed a parody of St-Pier’s song, prompting Natasha to reflect on the situation, emphasizing her desire for Inès’s happiness amid the ongoing drama.
Drama Unfolds on *Dancing with the Stars*
The thirteenth season of *Dancing with the Stars*, which saw Natasha St-Pier emerge victorious, became a hot topic of conversation this year, largely due to a public spat between the Canadian singer and actress Inès Reg. Shortly after the season kicked off, reports surfaced that the singer had lodged a complaint against Reg, citing ‘death threats.’ Both women later took to their social media platforms to share their perspectives on the unfolding drama. However, it seems that the tension between them is far from over.
Continued Tensions and Parodies
Following Natasha St-Pier’s triumph, Inès Reg made an appearance on the show *Quotidien*, where she accused the singer of deliberately stirring controversy to secure her win. She stated, *”I knew it would have an impact, an effect. It divided. I never thought I would experience this in my life, a quarrel with Natasha St-Pier (…) I think Natasha is very smart, that she wanted to win and thought it would work like that; it makes noise.”* Fast forward seven months after the season finale, and the animosity remains palpable.
During her guest spot on *50mn Inside* on November 23, Natasha was inevitably questioned about Inès Reg, especially after the actress performed a parody of her hit song *Tu trouveras*. Natasha remarked, *”It inspires me, it’s terrible what I’m going to say, lucky… Because I am one of those rare artists who have a timeless song known by all generations, and if it is covered, it means something and it exists.”* She added, *”It inspires me sadness, because no one wants to consciously hurt someone, and if she is still talking about it, it’s because she might be hurt.”* Natasha expressed her desire for Inès to be happy instead of embroiled in ongoing conflict.
In response to the ongoing narrative surrounding her and Natasha, Inès Reg clarified her stance in an interview with *Le Parisien*, stating, *”I don’t talk about her at all in the show. I don’t want this story to be on my resume (…) I haven’t threatened anyone, I haven’t insulted anyone.”* Yet, she couldn’t resist the temptation to poke fun at Natasha by offering a new twist on *Tu trouveras* during her one-woman show.
Natasha St-Pier responded to this parody in *Ciné Télé Revue*, saying, *”In life, I always try to teach my son to see the good side of things. It seems that parody means you are successful, right? We can say that without realizing it, she is paying me homage.”* Natasha also expressed happiness for Lionel Florence and Pascal Obispo, who stand to gain from the royalties generated by the parody.
