Guest on the set of In complete privacy on YouTube, Monday December 2, 2024, Loana opened up as she rarely does. Facing Sam Zirah, the former Loft Story icon shared deep thoughts on his journey, his fragilities and his struggles. A program rich in confessions which allowed the forty-year-old to evoke two striking aspects of her personality: his high IQ and his hypersensitivitytraits that she described as challenges as well as idiosyncrasies. Sam Zirah opened the discussion bluntly: “Is it true that you had an IQ of 139 at the time of The Loft?” Loana then corrected it immediately: “I was 140, my cat.” A response that surprised the host. And for good reason, on average, the IQ (or intelligence quotient) is between 90 and 109. “Ah, so we’re not in fiction, we’re in reality”he continued, still surprised by this revelation.
Loana: “The problem is when I’m really sick”
The one who managed to wean herself off the drug explained that she had carried out several tests which confirmed this high score. She then added with a touch of humor: “I have more than Einstein. So when you talk to me, I know what to say.” However, this intellectual asset hasn't always been a blessing for Mindy's mom. “The problem is when I'm really sick. Depressed or something. I know… Oh, I don't want to complain, I don't like it.”she began before interrupting herself. And her interlocutor reassures her: “But you’re not complaining Loana.” “I mean, there's no psychiatrist who can treat me. Because when he opens his mouth twice, I know what to answer. And that’s not what I have to answer; I have to respond with what hurts me. I respond to get out of it faster.”she detailed.
Loana: “We feel things twice as much”
Another theme addressed: hypersensitivity, which Loana describes as an emotional handicap. “When we are very sensitive, we feel things twice as much. We have twice as much pain, twice as much happiness, twice as much stuff, twice as many TS [NDLR : tentatives de suicide]…”, she confided. She also explained that she had made twelve suicide attempts. before finding some peace thanks to his dog.
In a previous interview given to Here ison October 21, 2024, Loana returned to the release of the series Worship, which revisits the behind-the-scenes creation of Loft Story. “Seeing someone who looks like you, with your life… I'm not going to say I'm a fan. I cried the first time I saw this.”she declared about Marie Colomb, the actress who portrayed the features of the former candidate.
