After a 90-day break, Ruth Elkrief is waiting for only one thing: to return to the screens. This will soon be the case at LCI! Despite these long years of experience, she has “a hell of a tac [à l’idée de] return to the air“, she explains on the set of Daily, Thursday April 1, 2021. But what bothers the presenter Yann Barthès, these are the reasons for this departure from BFMTV. He is convinced that something is behind… The journalist claims the opposite: “I’ll tell you, I think I got off on better terms with everyone. And with great affection from the editorial staff and everyone“, she says. And when the presenter of Daily tries to dig, she adds: “It happened that, fifteen years, it’s a lease, and at one point we want to take risks, we want to turn a page, we have the impression that a cycle is over, because things are changing around us“Ruth Elkrief, visibly relaxed, adds in a philosophical way:”The world is changing, and we want to change“. When a journalist submits to him:”The desire goes?“, Ruth Elkrief nods:”And there, the desire, I find it again, because I have the impression that I have to redo my proofs, and that’s still a chance“. The journalist is obviously more anxious than ever to return to the air!
“In love stories, at one point, it crumbles“
Yann Barthès may insist on trying to find out more about the possible reasons that would have caused this rupture, by implying that the departures were rarely done in December but rather in June, Ruth Elkrief will remain very enigmatic: “Mine was in December, December, January … I have the right, anyway, I decided“, she launches, bursting out laughing.”Of course, I try to find out everything that’s going on everywhere, but I don’t need to know!“, she laughs.”Something very normal happened, in love stories, at one point, we feel that it is unraveling … Things change“, she adds in a mysterious way. What has changed, finally? We will not know more, and Yann Barthès ended up throwing in the towel in front of the dreaded interviewer. What is certain, it’s that this departure was like a breath of fresh air. During these three months of break, she was not bored: “It was hard not to be on the air. But I was spoiled, I read, I was well surrounded, I thought about it well, I wrote, I spoke to friends for hours, whereas before it was ‘excuse me, I’m in a hurry, sorry…’ I spent time with my family“. And this is the most important!
