The flaws of reality TV are numerous today. And their consequences are still felt years later for certain candidates. This is the case of Angèle Salentino.

The young woman was revealed in 2020 in the show Love Island on Prime Video. A reality show which had experienced a bitter failure but not enough to let Angèle Salentino return to anonymity.

Adventures punctuated by arguments

Strong tensions had arisen between her and Maëva Ghennam. The latter did not appreciate Angèle getting into a relationship with her ex, Greg Yega.

Angèle Salentino’s third and final participation will be during the fourth season of Angels Holidayspin-off of Reality TV Angels. A show that she left before the end of filming, due to big arguments with the couple Raphaël Pépin and Tiffany Gounin.

Animosity such that Angèle Salentino subsequently accused Raphaël Pépin of acts of psychological violence on her part. The candidate also confided that the young man had tried to raise his hands on her, during this filming of the derivative of Reality TV Angels.
