"We kiss, it's crazy. We are from the old generation. We are not afraid of anything, we are not feminist, We are not afraid of the coronavirus. Carla Bruni said this during the Céline fashion show at Paris Fashion Week at the end of February, when she said hello to Sidney Toledano, CEO of LVMH Fashion. And that's not all. Then she had fun pretending to cough among the guests. Too funny ? Except that the scene was captured by the teams of Loïc Prigent, and has since toured social networks. Her behavior did not fail to outrun Internet users who qualified her as irresponsible, disrespectful and other names of birds. The singer has since apologized.

And the palm of ridicule is awarded to ... Carla Bruni. #COVID ー 19 #coronavirusfr #coronavirus #RESTEZCHEZVOUS #restecheztoi #CarlaBruni #Sarkozy pic.twitter.com/5q2uhn25hI

A heartbreaking trait of humor

Indeed, Carla Bruni published this Sunday a text on Instagram where she recalls her joke in bad taste: "At the time, in a certain context, told to a certain person, the joke has no meaning. She is silly but light, and has no incidents. When taken out of context, the joke can become ignominious. "She is the one who says it, and adds:" Unfortunately, I recently displayed a misplaced humor and this awkwardness was filmed without my realizing it. A clever video montage has deliberately given a vile character to this heartbreaking trait of humor. I want to present my regrets to all those who have seen this video and who were appalled by its content. "

Carla Bruni clarified that this moment does not reflect in any way her real feelings, and wishes good luck to all "in these very difficult times" of coronavirus.
