During this same interview, Inès Reg's partner stated that the other DALS dancers had ganged up on them. “It was similar to school bullying. Some more mature people behaved like 7 and a half year old girls. Just watch our elimination. They all went to congratulate Nico Capone and no one came to comfort us. And others took advantage of this story to draw light to them, which disgusted me“, declared Christophe Licata.
“I realized pretty quickly that there was a discomfort, so I went to our dressing room and got to the bottom of it. I was criticized for not taking a stand, for not being in solidarity with Anthony, but we didn't all see things the same way. Today, everything is better with everyone, but I know who I can count on. I was surprised by everything that happened, by the excitement around this little story“, also underlined the emblematic dancer of the TF1 program.
The dancer believes that Inès Reg éwas the best of the candidates
Christophe Licata also assured that he had been the victim of “injustice” with his partner. “We had the best marks with Inès. There was a big gap with the others. Once Keiona was eliminated, I thought we had a highway. And winning thanks to our level would have been the best response after everything that happened. When you look at the pictures of the winners, it was dancing well. There, the difference was huge. We were the best, period“, he notably launched.
“I am not on anyone's side. What happened is ridiculous and has hurt everyone so much for nothing. I did not take a stand and I will not take a stand. I did not insult anyone, no one insulted me. I was there to do my job: dance. The only thing that hurts me is that the level of dance has not improved“, Christophe Licata finally concluded.
