In an interview with the "Parisian" Tuesday, May 22, 2023 on the occasion of the release of her new film "Love and the Forests", Virginie Efira once again reacted to the statements of Blanche Gardin on "LOL: Who laughs, comes out!". Unlike Virginie Efira, who participated in the comedy series broadcast on Prime, the comedian refused to go and attacked Amazon.

Blanche Gardin's statements on LOL: Who laughs, comes out! always make people react... At the end of April, the comedian explained that she did not want to participate in the comedy series broadcast on Prime Video because she would be "embarrassed" to receive 200,000 euros for eight hours of shooting. In the aftermath, Fabrice Eboué had declared that he too preferred not to come in LOL. Enough to embarrass some stars... Ahmed Sylla, who participated in the first season of LOL, said at the microphone of Philippe Vandel, on Europe 1, that what Blanche Gardin had done "was not very cool" for "friends".

"What we do with our money, it's our business"

Virginie Efira, she understands the position of Blanche Gardin, even if she agreed to play the game in the third season of LOL. "When I saw Blanche Gardin's letter, I said to myself: 'Already she is much funnier, in addition, she has much more virtue!' But what we do with our money, it concerns us, "she said in the columns of the Parisian. "We can't race for purity: cinema is also an industry, with large groups... If you are looking for radicalism, it is complex," she added, adding that she had "no regrets about having participated in the program.

"It's true that it's extremely well paid"

"The only thing is, I thought I was presumptuous to believe I could be comfortable there. I can have humor when I'm not asked to be funny, but if there's an obligation to be, I'm not much funny. I'm very shy," she later admitted. "It's true that it was extremely well paid, I also thought it would be fun to be with François Damiens, Jonathan Cohen, Leïla (Bekhti)... And then, when I found myself there, I said to myself: what am I stuck in!" she concluded.
