Unlike what is shown in the series Worship, on Prime Video, it's Angela Lorente, editor-in-chief of Loft Story, who managed the swimming pool affair and not Alexia Laroche-Joubert. She tells us.
Episode 3 of Worshipthe Prime Video series on behind the scenes of Loft Storyreturns to the famous swimming pool scene between Jean-Edouard and Loana. After a drunken disco evening, Helena inspired by Angela Lorente, editor-in-chief of Loft Storyat the time, then calls Isabelle de Rochechouart, inspired by Alexia Laroche-Joubert and Raphaël Dumas, the producer played by César Domboy, inspired by both the entrepreneur Stéphane Courbit and the host Arthur, at the time president and vice-president of Endemol France, a company producing Loft Story, to warn them of what is happening. Isabelle gets on a motorbike to go to the studios. It takes a few seconds before stopping the flow.
Loft Story : Benjamin Castaldi and Alexia Laroche-Joubert recount the swimming pool scene
In An almost perfect dinner Loft special, Benjamin Castaldi said: “I remember very well. I received a phone call around 11:30 p.m. and actually, like no one in charge was really therewe followed the start of the antics. You should know that 24/24 was really broadcast in real time. So, it lasted I think – from memory – six or seven minutes, and then someone must have called: 'You are crazy!' But hey, the images were gone.” For his part, Alexia Laroche-Joubert returned to her moment of hesitation. “What I can assure you is that it took me a long time to understand that there were images passing through a pipe called the Internet. I probably lost a little time. Time which probably triggered the buzz and then the audiences for Loft Story”the producer explained to us. An explanation to which returned Angela Lorente.
Worship : Did Alexia Laroche-Joubert really cut the broadcast of the swimming pool scene? This is what really happened
“A friend had come to see me and we wanted to go for a drink. Before leaving, I checked that everything was okay. I tell a cameraman [en voyant Loana et Jean-Edouard dans la piscine] : “Oh they are bathing”. He answers me: “No, they smell!”“. I look and I run like crazy to see the teams. I call Stéphane Courbit, I call Alexia [Laroche-Joubert]who tells me on the phone that we will have to change the water in the swimming pool!', remembered Angela Lorente. “I stopped the stream but it was on the 24/7 channel and on the internet.” Contrary to Worship, so it is Angela Lorente and not Alexia Laroche-Joubert who stopped the broadcast of the images live.
