After the statements of Blanche Gardin against Amazon, who would have contacted her to participate in “LOL: Who laughs, comes out!”, the American company decided to respond to the comedian. Amazon assures us: the star’s comments are “false” and “inaccurate”.
Amazon responds to Blanche Gardin after her vitriolic text against the American company. In his message, the comedian, who claims to have been contacted by Prime Video to participate in LOL: Who laughs, comes out!, spoke directly to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos. “I understood that it was only a single day of filming, only here, that day, I have a dentist. And, as the third fortune in the world, you know, you have to good, very long teeth to succeed in this world”, she had declared before saying that she was embarrassed to receive 200,000 euros for the eight hours of filming of LOL.
“We pay our fair share of taxes”
She then denounced the practices of Amazon. “Yes, it bothers me to receive, for eight hours of work, this maddening sum from a company which: does not pay its taxes in France, […] which uses labor from Uyghur concentration camps”. can you read there.
Amazon then recalls its commitment to the fight against climate change. “For more than two decades, we have been striving to earn the trust of our customers in France by contributing to the dynamism of the territories, by offering excellent quality service, a wide range of products and low prices, despite the increase in the cost of living We have made an ambitious commitment in the context of the fight against climate change with The Climate Pledge, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.
