It’s a little bomb in the fairly hushed world of show business where we don’t like to talk too much about big money. In a post published on Facebook, comedian Blanche Gardin announces that she is giving up the stamp of 200,000 euros to participate in the next season of “LOL: Who laughs comes out! “.
“It also happens that I would be embarrassed to the bones (not to say that it would really hurt my ass) to be paid 200,000 euros for a day’s work even if I lose at your game, when the charity of my choice would win 50,000 euros, that is to say 4 times less, and again, only if I win, ”balances the actress of Problems.
Robots and infernal cadences
Then she unfolds a series of criticisms towards Amazon and his boss Jeff Bezos who broadcast the comedy series. She thus criticizes the American firm for not paying its taxes in France and even for benefiting from “1 billion euros in tax credits when it has 50 billion euros in turnover”, d using “labour from the Uyghur concentration camps” or even to offer only “backbreaking jobs in dehumanized warehouses, where employees are treated like robots who are wrung out by putting crazy pressure on them with infernal cadences”.
A fierce indictment that she completes with a call for the maintenance of indoor cinema, as opposed to streaming platforms. “I do not want that in ten years no one will go to the cinema and that we will all be watching series on the sofa while having burgers delivered by undocumented immigrants pedaling in the rain “, adds the humorist. But the latter does not close the door to a future participation in “LOL: Who laughs comes out! “, on the condition that Jeff Bezos has” wanted to completely rethink [son] business “.
