On vacation in the Maldives to disconnect after a demanding period both from a private and a professional point of view, Michelle Hunziker is reached by the dramatic news about the war in Ukraine.

And he decides to express his closeness to the victims, in a way considered by many Internet users to be at least inappropriate.

"I woke up with nightmares. I could hear children, women and men crying in my sleep. I feel uneasy about being on vacation, I know I can't change things but I feel a sense of helplessness and I think of all the people who are in this moment fleeing into the endless queues to leave the country, ”he wrote in an Instagram Story.

Again: “I surfed the Internet to understand what were the real reasons that led to all this violence. Result? They do not exist. I hope that in these hours they can find an agreement to end this war, I am close with my heart to the victims of terrifying violence ”.

Thousands of comments on the web, so much so that the words of the Swiss have become a meme that has been circulating on social media since this morning.

"What can I say, we are close to you in this difficult moment", jokes in many. "A minute of silence for Hunziker who cannot enjoy the holidays because the echo of the war disturbs her emotionally," writes one. “If you are uncomfortable go to help refugee centers or do volunteer work,” comments another.

In short, Michelle did not elicit the reaction she most likely expected.
