Alexia Laroche-Joubert reveals why she refused the post of director

Indispensable figure of the Star Academy, Alexia Laroche-Joubert was not only the producer of the show, but she was also its director for 5 seasons in 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007. On the occasion of the great return of the star Academy new generation, whose first premium took place on Saturday October 15 on TF1, Alexia Laroche-Joubert agreed to answer questions from Jordan De Luxe on her talk show At Jordan’s. Tele-Leisure has also unveiled an excerpt in which the 52-year-old producer explains why she refused to take over this role of patroness of Starac ‘. “Mathieu Vergne, who produces with Jean-Louis Blot, asked me the question, I told him ‘Already it’s nice to ask me. He said to me ‘Would you like to be the director?’. I told him ‘I will think about it’” she confided at first. She then said: “I called him back after two or three days, I said ‘I think it’s good that it’s someone else’. I think I knew something that interested me because I was producing it too. I wasn’t just the director, I was also a producer. It was this dual role that interested me. And I still have a lot of things to do, and it takes a lot of time“. Alexia Laroche-Joubert, on the other hand, explained that she had very good memories of her stay at the Château de Dammarie-les-Lys, and that she had only had pleasant feedback from the public, at the ‘era : “The people were super nice (…) I have never experienced verbal aggression and I always say, I always have the same cell phone, I have never been harassed“. All is said !

Alexia Laroche-Joubert left her place

Twenty years after the launch of the very first season of Star Academy in 2001, the famous tele-hook is making a resounding return to TF1. A 2022 season which is being done without Alexia Laroche-Joubert at the helm, since the new director is none other than Michael Goldman, son of Jean-Jacques Goldman, and the new producers are Mathieu Vergne and Jean-Louis Blot. She explained thus:That’s why I don’t produce, it’s because the programs belong to the production companies, they don’t belong to me, so it’s not because you created them that they belong to you, they still belong to Endemol“. Creative and on all fronts, there is no doubt that Alexia Laroche-Joubert is already preparing new projects.
