Guest on the set of C to you March 26, 2021 on France 5, for talk about sexism in the world of television, Amanda Lear notably spoke about how she escaped the grip of Silvio Berlusconi when she worked in Italy. The one who was recently vaccinated against the coronavirus also spoke on Salvador Dali’s attitude towards women. After reviewing archive footage where she confessed that she would sometimes have preferred to be a man rather than a woman, Amanda Lear confirmed, as she said already a few years ago, that the Spanish painter was a very macho person.
“It’s true that Dali was very typical Spanish macho. He said: ‘It is only men who are talented. Women don’t have testicles, so they don’t have talent. ‘ Me when someone tells me that, it revolts me, “ revealed the one who insulted people not wearing masks. “I was doing fine art at the time. So I said to him, ‘You know I’m a painter. So we’re practically colleagues’. You can imagine how it was received,” added Amanda Lear, insisting on the fact that Salvador Dali’s sexist remark had “much revolted”.

Despite her anger against the Spanish painter, the one who had a love affair with singer David Bowie tried to take a step back from the situation. “I told myself that he was an old man and that he was not going to change. He’s got all this Spanish macho culture and it’s been going on like this for ages, “ pointed out Amanda Lear. “The woman in the kitchen making omelets, she’s not going to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel“, the former TV host ironically concluded. “It is very regrettable!” added Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine in the wake. A little later, during the second part of the show, Amanda Lear again mentioned Salvador Dali, revealing that the Spanish painter did not appreciate the fact that she was successful in her career at all.
