CHAMUSSY / SIPA
Last January, after Carlos Ghosn's incredible escape, his interview with the former president of Renault-Nissan for France Inter had been strongly criticized.
One question in particular, had earned Léa Salamé to be accused of "complacent": "Your escape absolutely fascinates the whole world, for many children you are the man who traveled in the trunk.
Did you really travel in the trunk?
".
In an interview with
Society
this week, the journalist recalls the many attacks to which she has been the object.
In particular, she entrusted it with taking full responsibility for the “trunk” issue.
"The question about the trunk, I claim it," she says.
That was the big thing, how he fled, let's not be hypocritical.
This is the only moment when I choose to take it on the tone of humor, I play the little valve to try to get the info, what.
I accept the deal to be lynched.
But judge me on the interview in its entirety.
"
"It was unfair to summarize my interview with this extract"
Because what posed a problem for the journalist is that this sequence was chosen by the radio to promote this meeting.
“This video served as a teaser for the interview the day before the broadcast.
A three-minute extract, absolutely not validated by me, that Inter, in Paris - I am then in Beirut - decides to balance.
The interview lasts half an hour, and all the questions are asked.
Not at all a complacent interview!
», She believes.
Especially since this video of a few minutes was enough for Léa Salamé to collect many mockeries and criticisms, as well as violent insults.
“I was called a 'dirty Lebanese whore', she reveals.
For once, it even made me cry.
I had a really feeling of anger against France Inter.
It was unfair to summarize my interview with this extract ”.
