Huet and Abril shared a theatrical run for two years before The Traitors. Their history on stage added weight to what happened on television.
- They first met in a TV role, where Abril played a prominent character and Huet had a small part.
- During The Traitors, Huet suspected Abril of being one of the traitors and cast a vote against her.
- That vote apparently triggered strong reactions and created distance between them.
On air with Isabelle Morini-Bosc: blunt observations
Interviewed on Isabelle Morini-Bosc’s IsaTVLive stream on Twitch, Huet did not soften his words. He described working with Abril as more difficult than he expected.
In his account, the contrast between her public image and private demeanor was striking. He said it felt like two different personas at play.
When stardom shapes behavior, he claims
Huet suggested Abril’s long career and celebrity status affected how she related to others.
He argued that being immersed in “star culture” over decades can change someone’s social habits.
- Impact on manners: He said this sometimes led to a loss of everyday courtesies.
- Respect and warmth: He felt those qualities could be inconsistent in private settings.
Recognition of her talent
Despite personal grievances, Huet acknowledged Abril’s achievements. He praised her professional record and called her an important figure in cinema.
He emphasized that his critique targeted behavior, not talent. According to him, her artistic credentials remain strong.
Why they no longer keep in touch
Huet explained the lack of contact bluntly. He said their bond never reached true friendship.
“We were never really friends,” he told the host, adding that the show only exposed existing tensions.
The dynamic on The Traitors, he said, reflected deeper misunderstandings and occasional moments of aggression.
