French comedian Blanche Gardin refuses to participate in the show LOL: Who laughs, comes out! broadcast on the Amazon platform. “Yeah, it bothers me,” she said in a scathing statement to the company’s wealthy owner, Jeff Bezos.
“Very very dear Mr. Bezos”, began Blanche Gardin in a long publication that has gone viral on social networks.
The French comedian said he declined the invitation from the Amazon platform to participate in the fourth season of the game LOL: Who laughs comes out! for the “maddening sum” of 200,000 euros ($300,000).
“It also happens that I would be embarrassed at the corners (not to say that it would hurt my ass downright) to be paid 200,000 euros for a day’s work”, she chanted. She denounced the practices of the company, “which does not pay its taxes in France”, which “emits 55.8 million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year”, which “uses labor Uyghur concentration camps” and which “destroys jobs in petty trade.
” All this for what ? So we could order cheap diapers from our couch scratching our balls. Yes, it bothers me, ”said Blanche Gardin.
