This is a scene that will be remembered by French reality TV: on April 28, 2001, thousands of viewers were glued to the first season of Loft Story, on M6, while Loana, the pretty blonde, fooling around with Jean-Édouard. On the edge of the swimming pool, a very sensual scene caused a huge buzz, to the point that we are still talking about it today! While Loft Story party already his 20th birthday, Benjamin Castaldi received the former candidates in Loft Story, 20 years later. Jean-Edouard, Fabrice, Christophe and Julie, Kenza, Delphine … but not Loana, who is still hospitalized after being seriously affected by the coronavirus. Indeed, Loana’s state of health has been worrying for a few weeks, but seems to have been worsened by the virus. Despite this, the evening of the twentieth anniversary of Loft was still celebrated by other candidates on C8 Thursday, April 8, 2021. Benjamin Castaldi notably returned to the famous scene which caused a real outcry among fans, while the “pro-Jean-Edouard” and the “pro-Loana“clashed relentlessly.”You realized that you weren’t cool with her, anyway?“inquired the presenter.”Yes, yes, it’s true … but at the same time I was 20 years old !“he justified himself.
Could Steevy have been in Jean-Edouard’s place?
But according to him, the famous sulphurous scene could have happened very differently… Benjamin Castaldi explains: “You were in the same evening, and it fell on you, but it could have ripped!“He then addressed Steevy, who was also present in the pool before things go wrong : “In fact, we were all three, we were having a good laugh … then me, I had a pressing desire, I went to the bathroom“, he explains. When he returns, all the others are in front of the window and hallucinate what is happening between the two who remained in the pool! But Jean-Edouard is not at all the same version: according to him, Loana was closer to Steevy : “We are all three in the water. Loana starts to go have fun near Steevy… I say to myself ‘well, I may have made a mistake …’ and there he leaves!“Steevy, he maintains that he went to the bathroom because of a pressing urge … but according to the others, it was just that he was not thrilled by the beautiful blonde!
