EBy quickly switching to the remote control, it was possible to follow both at the same time. On the one hand, the comedian Inès Reg on the set of “Quotidien”, on TMC; on the other, the singer Natasha St-Pier, guest of “Touche pas à mon poste!” », on C8. Same time, same day, Monday April 29. Two a priori classic guests for these broadcastsinfotainment (“infotainment)”… for who did not follow the quarrel which opposed them off-air during the last season of “Dancing with the stars”, on TF1, which ended on Friday with the victory of the singer Canadian.
Those, blissfully ignorant, must surely have raised an eyebrow when hearing Inès Reg’s response to Yann Barthès when the host asked her why, according to her, she had not won the televised dance competition. “You know what other criterion came into play…”she begins, smirking. “It’s the fact that I’m a little slut, that’s it!” » Pardon ? [Zap] “Inès was very aggressive, she made comments that were frightening. It was intimidating, I cried…”for her part, brings Natasha St-Pier to Cyril Hanouna.
The story, which dates back to the end of January, can be summarized as follows: the two candidates argued during rehearsal over a matter of volume. One called the other “little slut”, then pleading the bad joke, things escalated until a handrail was filed, the affair leaked to the press, pushing everyone to post their own explanatory video on social networks. All without anything ever being mentioned under the spotlight of TF1, where everyone skillfully acted as if nothing had happened.
“A metapolitical phenomenon”
In short, an apparently relatively insignificant dispute, yet considered a “metapolitical phenomenon” by the Jean Jaurès Foundation, who published, at the beginning of April, a note on the subject. “The era of the battle of ideas against a backdrop of war and committed texts is over. Now, the times are transforming the behind-the-scenes of an entertainment show into a battle for identity. Goodbye Sartre and Aron, hello Reg and St-Pier. Identity versus identity, because the protagonists are, each in their own way, representatives of “communities””writes the social-democratic think tank.
Because, beyond the disagreements, Inès Reg above all tried to highlight the difference in treatment in public opinion between the two women: she who sees herself as the “little 31-year-old girl who lives in 93 and is of Algerian origin”, “the Arab of history” and the other, the ” lady “ And ” Mom “ 43 years old, Blanche, always very calm in her tone. Who would therefore inevitably emerge as the winner of the affair – and of the competition.
