“It hurts…”: Léa Salamé admits to having been hurt by the criticism she received after her reflection in Artus on alcohol

Three months after his unfortunate remarks to Artus, on the set of What a time, Léa Salamé spoke about the controversy. The journalist admitted to having been somewhat hurt by the criticism she received after her comment to the actor.

In the age of social media, controversies can quickly escalate. Last April, Artus was invited onto the set of What an era!to promote his film, A little something extrawhich has become one of the biggest box-office hits of recent years. The actor and director, who has lost a lot of weight, took the opportunity to talk about his new, healthier lifestyle.I do a lot of little extra things and it’s going much better. I stopped drinking, I stopped smoking…” he said. To which Léa Salamé replied: “Ah you’ve become annoying! You’re no longer anxious but you are annoying“.

Annoyed, Artus had not lacked repartee in front of the journalist.That’s very French… It’s funny because as soon as we say we’re stopping drinking, we become annoying. While it’s fucking good not to drink alcohol […] I f*ck you“, he had launched. The following week, during the recording of the show, Léa Salamé had briefly mentioned the controversy in which she herself had become embroiled.”At first I was surprised because it really was a joke and we all felt it as a joke.Artus too, and in no way an apology for alcohol. But afterwards, it made me think and we said to ourselves with our team that this posed a real question” she said.
