Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. – Jacques BENAROCH / SIPA
“We kiss, it’s crazy. We are from the old generation. We are not afraid of anything, we are not feminist, We are not afraid of coronavirus. ” This sentence,
Carla Bruni said it during the Céline fashion show at Paris Fashion Week in late February, when she said hello to Sidney Toledano, CEO of LVMH Fashion. And that’s not all. Then she had fun pretending to cough among the guests. Too funny ? Except that the scene was captured by the teams of Loïc Prigent, and has since toured social networks. Her behavior did not fail to outrun Internet users who described her as irresponsible, disrespectful and other names of birds. The singer has since apologized.
And the palm of ridicule is awarded to … Carla Bruni. #COVID ー 19 #coronavirusfr #coronavirus #STAY HOME #stay at your house #Carla Bruni #Sarkozy pic.twitter.com/5q2uhn25hI

A heartbreaking stroke of humor
Indeed, Carla Bruni published this Sunday a text on Instagram where she recalls her joke in bad taste: “At the time, in a certain context, told to a certain person, the joke has no meaning. She is silly but light, and has no incidents. When taken out of context, the joke can become ignominious. “She is the one who says it, and adds:” Unfortunately, I recently displayed inappropriate humor and this awkwardness was filmed without my realizing it. A clever video montage deliberately gave this heartbreaking humor a vile character. I want to present my regrets to all those who have seen this video and who were appalled by its content. “
Carla Bruni clarified that this moment does not reflect in any way her real feelings, and wishes good luck to all “in these very difficult times” of coronavirus.
