She is the star of the France 2 news, feared by some politicians and respected by the profession. But Anne-Sophie Lapix, seen radiant and in love at Roland-Garros, was frankly not well received by a very well-known personality. It was not even received because the company crashed it.
Sunday June 9, the journalist gave an interview to the newspaper The Sunday stand and did not hesitate to drop the name of the star who was not very correct with her and it is Meryl Streep. The Hollywood actress, who was at the last Cannes Film Festival to receive the honorary Palme d’Or, upset Anne-Sophie Lapix. According to the publication, the actress would have preferred not to attend this interview for fear that a question on the conflict in the Middle East would be asked.

A hard blow that Anne-Sophie Lapix concludes as follows: “I was so disappointed that I had my legs cut off.“

A public service executive even declared: “The 20 Hours is too sad, the angles to decipher the news are often negative, or macroeconomic, far from the daily concerns of the French.“As for politicians, many want to see her leave. So, Anne-Sophie Lapix, will she stay or not? Suspense…
