Carla Bruni had gone too far a few months ago … In good habit of the front rows of the parades, the 52-year-old Italian singer attended Paris Fashion Week which took place from Monday February 24, 2020 to Tuesday March 3, 2020 in our capital. Arriving at the Céline show on Friday February 28, 2020, Carla Bruni had made a dubious joke to Sidney Toledano, CEO of LVMH: "We kiss, it's crazy!", she exclaimed after kissing him. “We are from the old generation. We are not afraid of anything, we are not feminist, we are not afraid of the Coronavirus, NADA! ”she added, humorously.
A joke that does not pass
Once seated alongside Benjamin Biolay and ready to enjoy the show, Nicolas Sarkozy's wife had continued her momentum against the teams of Daily, to whom she had dropped: "So I'm going to do something, look!”, before pretending to cough on the parade guests … A sequence that quickly made the buzz.
Aware of having crossed the line, the Italian star had decided to make his mea culpa. “Sometimes we make jokes in bad taste. To amuse the gallery, to put on a show. At the moment, in a certain context, told to a certain person, the joke has no meaning. It is silly, but light and has no impact. Out of context, the joke can become an ignominy ”, she explained on Instagram
"I was completely stupid"
Friday July 10, 2020, the singer returned to this controversy at the microphone of Pascale Clark on Europe 1. "I was completely stupid", she lamented before adding that the video broadcast during the 5 minutes of fashion by Loïc Prigent on March 3, 2020 in Daily had been "Rise and rise maliciously". The ex-First Lady also wanted to put this awkward joke in context: "Very few people were aware, we were huddled together and I think the virus was barely starting to spread in Europe, we had no conscience."
