She applied to the letter the expression: "Return the change to her coin". Florence Foresti rebounded on Monday, a week later, to the controversy launched by Cyril Hanouna on the alleged emoluments that the humorist would have touched to present the Caesars (and what Caesars!) This year. According to the host of "Touche pas à mon poste", Florence Foresti would have received "130,000 € including 30,000 € for its authors".
Response from “Madame Foresti” on her Instagram account this Monday evening: “Dear Cyril, I won € 18,500 to prepare and present the Césars. As you seem to be very well informed about the salaries of my predecessors, you will no doubt be able to launch a debate on the wage gap between men and women during your next program. ” And to conclude his message with a simple and ironic: "Bisou".

Since a ceremony of the Caesars particularly rich in emotions and in polemics all round, Florence Foresti had been satisfied with only one comment. "Disgusted". A single word posted on his Instagram account, already, at the end of the evening marked by the César for best director awarded to Roman Polanski and by the shattering departure of Adèle Haenel in the process.

"I'm not going to cry anyway. "
"What she can't stand is the real lie"
So why get out of the wood today on this salary issue? "Florence understands that her words may not please everyone, that's part of the game, but what she does not support is the real lie," we decipher those around her. Hence the scathing response addressed to Cyril Hanouna. With, underlying, a spade on the inequalities men-women, red thread of all its controversial performance, but of high flight, during the last Caesars.
Just before the ceremony, in the midst of a storm between the resignation of the management of the Academy and the appointments granted to Roman Polanski, Florence Foresti had canceled all the interviews that she had to grant.

Asked about his feeling a few days before this delicate exercise, the humorist reacted: “We feel a little stressed, but (presenting the Césars) brings together everything I like: the show, the stand-up, the live!
