The cultural columnist for Yann Barthès' show had offered an analysis of the representation of female rivalry in the history of art and in the media.
She bounced back to the presence of Rachida Dati invited that day and her regular opposition to Anne Hidalgo.
However, according to Racha Belmehdi
"Ambre Chalumeau had asked to receive"
his book which deals with this subject,
"in order to talk about it in the Daily program"
.
But neither the title of his book,
Rivalry, female name
, nor his name will be mentioned on TMC.
"I haven't read this book"
This Monday, February 13, the "Daily" team wanted to make
"an update"
.
“I clarify, Thursday morning in meeting, we decide to talk about the rivalry of women in culture”
begins to tell Ambre Chalumeau.
She continues:
"I begin my research and I find plenty of articles on this theme, because it has been treated a lot, I also come across several essays including the book in question"
.
She confirms having contacted the press secretary to obtain it, only she affirms
“not to have read the book”
and maintains that the examples
“do not come from him”
.
The columnist then resumes the works she cited a few days ago such as the film
What happened to Baby Jane?
"I already spoke about it in a column, 6 months ago"
she underlines, the tale of Snow White which is
"a classic of texts on female rivalry and the beauty of women"
or even the photo by Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield
,
which graces the cover of Racha Belmehdi's book.
"A mythical photo which even served as an illustration for an article on the subject which dates from 3 years before the release of the book"
adds Ambre Chalumeau.
"All that to say that, as for each chronicle, I have compiled several sources and personal knowledge and I have not used this book without quoting it"
assures Ambre Chalumeau before calling to reflect on
"the speed and the “dizzying scale”
that the case took on social networks.
By way of conclusion, Yann Barthès declares:
“We are going to send him back his book”
.
For her part, following this sequence, the author Racha Belmehdi posted in a story on Instagram:
“Wow Daily, born before shame”
