The adventure of Holiday of the Angels fell into the water. According to the first information reported by The Parisian, a serious altercation would have taken place in Reunion on Sunday January 10, 2021 between, on the one hand, Ricardo Pinto, his ex-partner Nehuda, Pauline, (the nanny of their daughter also appeared in Love island the show presented by Nabilla), and on the other, Joé Bedier, the mayor of Saint-André who came to celebrate a birthday in the 4-star hotel where the reality TV candidates were housed before starting filming. After this huge brawl, La Grosse Équipe (which produces the show) decided to stop everything: "The health and safety of the production crew, contestants, and everyone involved in the shoot is our top priority. Following the recent incident, outside of the shoot of the show The Holidays of Angels, La Grosse Equipe notes that the conditions for serenity are no longer there to allow the show to be filmed on Reunion Island ", they said in a statement released by 20 minutes.
"A hysterical woman came to our table and said to my wife 'You took pictures, this is not normal. I thought she was joking, not at all.", Joe Bedier told the newspaper before explaining:"My wife ended up on the ground with big guys on top of her. I took hits, I thought I was not going to get out of it. "
Ricardo and Nehuda's version
Ricardo and Nehuda also gave their side of the story: first through their friend, reality TV candidate Raphaël Pépin, who was on the set of Do not touch My TV Monday 11 January 2021, then in The Parisian via a video interview posted online on Friday January 15. "As for three days, the person in charge of the candidates asked people around us not to release the photos for reasons of confidentiality. Nothing wrong. She must have done it seventy times since our arrival. there, she came across two relentless people, who immediately started insulting her when she is 1.30 m tall. I was far away, feeding my daughter, when my partner intervened to stand up for him, until the mayor's son stood up and said: "Here, you are with us". Then he walked towards her as if he was going to attack her ", he explained before adding: “Put yourself in my shoes! I had no choice but to intervene. From the moment I pushed him away, it took a few seconds. And bam, bam, the blows rained. He hit me the first time, then his dad blew a chair off my back. " Ricardo Pinto also warns of the after-effects: On the video, the 30-year-old candidate, accused of child abuse in 2017, appears with a neck brace and was leaving an X-ray appointment.
According to Cyril Hanouna, this quarrel could actually be linked to different policies between the mayor Joe Bedier and the prefect of Reunion, Jacques Billant: "There is a war between the mayor and the prefect, who had given permission for the production to shoot in Reunion, and the mayor would have been completely against ", he said in Do not touch My TV Monday 11 January 2021.
