Monday March 28, 2022, Magali Berdah was invited to the Touche set not at my post to discuss the issue of drugs circulating in reality TV. So, Benjamin Castaldi revealed that there were already drug problems during Secret Story.
Reality TV candidates, would they use drugs on the set? While Maeva Ghennam and Greg Yega are accused of using drugs in the eleventh season of Marseilles, Benjamin Castaldi assured that these questions already existed at the time of Secret Story. The columnist indeed declared on the set of Do not touch My TV : “On Secret Story, the truth is that we knew it was coming in, but we were always trying to figure out how it was coming in. It’s true that there was a season, which was a little complicated for us, because there was a delivery system that went through shirt collars and the laundry, it has to be said.Finally, the father of four added:They sent their dirty laundry and when it came back clean, there was cocaine in the collars. We found it like this.“
In January 2021, Benjamin Castaldi had already made revelations about drugs present on the set of reality TV shows. In Do not touch My TVhe said:To answer you on drugs and alcohol in reality TV, it is indeed a scourge, it was a scourge with us during Secret Story, because indeed, we tended not to control alcohol . We had big slippages on Secret which were obviously stifled because at the time, there was not necessarily the power of the networks, but there were dramas which were tied because of alcohol .He added later:Drugs were also a scourge, we are not going to lie to each other! Even on Secret, networks have been dismantled since they passed cams through shirt collars!“
Benjamin Castaldi: “Drugs came in through shirt collars”
Host of Secret Story between 2007 and 2014, the columnist saw a lot of things happen. In April 2019, still on the set of Do not touch My TVhe revealed:I know that at the time of Secret – it’s a priority for the producers to avoid there being any (drugs editor’s note) – we discovered trafficking in the house. In fact, there was a laundry system and it was discovered that the drugs were entering through shirt collars.” Émilie Amar, a former candidate for Friends Trip and Angelspresent on the set that evening had slipped as for her: “The production knew that we were taking drugs. The staff accompanied us to get our drugs.“
