The video was widely shot on social media during the confinement and earned Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a media mini-storm. Broadcast on March 15, especially on Twitter, it shows the singer making fun of the coronavirus, and pretending to sneeze on her interlocutors, broad smile. "I was completely stupid in fact," admitted the singer, Friday in Culture Media, on Europe 1. The singer still defended herself, arguing that at the time, few people had become aware of the gravity of the situation.
"I didn't really realize until the time of confinement, since just before confinement, I took my daughter to a birthday party, and then we voted on Sunday. We realized like everyone else, quite late", she explained. "Very few people were aware. We were crowded into the hundreds. And besides, I think the virus was barely starting to spread in Europe. We had no conscience."
"I made a joke, but afterwards the video was rather maliciously edited"
In addition, Carla Bruni considered that she had been the victim of a video intended to harm her. "I made a joke, but after the video was edited, reassembled, quite maliciously," judged the singer.
The images actually date from the Céline fashion show, at the height of Fashion Week, in Paris, in February. We see Carla Bruni kissing a man and throwing: "We kiss, it's crazy! It's because we're from the old generation! We're not afraid of anything, we don't is not feminist, we are not afraid of the coronavirus. "
