Liane Foly's absence from the popular television show 'C à vous' became a topic of public discussion following her candid remarks on the RTL program 'On refait la télé' earlier this month. The singer expressed frustration over being overlooked by the show's new host, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, a situation she felt was unjustified and hurtful.
On March 1, 2025, during her appearance on 'On refait la télé', Foly, 62, openly criticized the show, pointing out a stark change since Lemoine took over hosting duties from Anne-Sophie Lapix. "When it changes hosts, they don’t invite me," she lamented. She went on to say, "I cannot explain it, I pity them. It’s terrible to feel this way about oneself... Oh yes, 'C à vous', they don’t invite me. Miss Lemoine doesn’t receive me," displaying her disappointment at the situation.
Foly’s comments caught significant media attention, leading to questions about whether her grievances would lead to a visible fallout between the two women. However, just days later, the air was cleared in an episode of 'C à vous' airing on March 19, 2025. In a lively and warm atmosphere, Foly made her much-anticipated return to the set, effectively putting the rumors of a rift to rest.
Upon entering the studio, Foly jokingly referred to Lemoine as her "best friend", an indication that tensions had evaporated. Lemoine, embracing the humorous spirit of the moment, responded, "It’s very recent. We’re going to lance the boil tonight with Liane!" This light-hearted banter set a tone of reconciliation for the episode.
Foly also took a moment to reflect on her previous comments about being snubbed, humorously attributing the situation to RTL host Eric Dussart. "You know he loves stirring the pot. The proof is, it’s him we’re highlighting tonight," she stated, clearly keen to downplay any prior tensions. This admission was met with laughter from the audience and Lemoine herself, reinforcing a sense of camaraderie.
During the episode, the topics quickly transitioned from the previous misunderstanding to the present, as Liane Foly prepared for her upcoming stage performance at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel. She is set to present her show, "La folle repart (parenthèse)", from March 21 to April 12, 2025, indicating her busy schedule ahead.
As their conversation unfolded, Lemoine encouraged Foly to showcase her talents. The host asked the artist if she could imitate her voice as a playful challenge. Foly responded with endearing compliments, stating, "Anne-Elisabeth has a classy voice, elegant, aristocratic; and sometimes when she speaks a bit like the people, it suits her too." Their back-and-forth revealed an underlying respect and affection that eclipsed earlier grievances.
The episode turned into a viewer magnet, with 740,000 people tuning in to watch 'C à vous, la suite', during which the show's viewership peaked, reaching 1.02 million between 20:41 and 21:03. This incremental increase in audience numbers reflected the public's engagement with the heartfelt reunion and indicated that all was well between the two friends.
This joyous encounter between Foly and Lemoine showcased how misunderstandings can often be resolved in the most unexpected ways, with laughter serving as the best medicine. "Looks like we’ll be having dinner or lunch together soon!" Foly hinted at further strengthening their bond, to which both women responded with smiles and enthusiasm.
In this rapidly-paced media landscape, Liane Foly’s public grievances may have invited skepticism, but her successful return to 'C à vous' illustrates that even disputes can lead to reconciliation and renewed friendship. As these two prominent figures navigate their professional lives, there's no denying that the power of camaraderie remains a significant force in the world of entertainment.
