On Friday, April 10, loved ones and fans of Loana gathered at the Cathedral of Sainte-Réparate in the heart of Old Nice. It was a particularly moving morning for her friends who were there for a final farewell, like her best friend Eryl Prayer.
Among those who responded “present” was her friend Jeremy Bellet. He agreed to share his thoughts exclusively with Public. “I was surprised to see so few personalities present. Those same people who did interviews didn’t even make the effort to come to Nice. I came from Paris, I took a very early flight. We saw a lot of people express themselves, I think she would have liked to see more people at this moment of remembrance. It would have been nice to come just to give her a final goodbye instead of parading on TV,” he said.
The discreet appearance of Mindy
While some were absent, the presence of Loana’s daughter naturally caught attention. Hidden under an umbrella, she was accompanied by her daughter who had a scarf over her head to protect her face. It was a truly essential moment to pay tribute to Loana as highlighted by Jeremy Bellet: “The night of her disappearance, I said I would be touched to see her. And I was. I knew Loana in private. It was the greatest regret of her life. I found it so beautiful that she was there to accompany her during her final dance, as they say.”
Coming to honor his friend, he admitted to not noticing her presence until he saw the photos on social media. Regarding their relationship, Jeremy Bellet stated: “We talked about it, not much. But the few times we did talk, she told me that their relationship was complicated. She always said that she wanted her to be at her funeral, even if she didn’t imagine she would be gone now. I find it beautiful that she was able to fulfill her dream. We can say that the circle is complete.”
The public in attendance
Another thing that comforted the model was: “I was pleasantly surprised to see all these people, the public who was there. There were so many people who came to say goodbye to her. Loana would have been so happy to see how much she was loved. I wish more people had shown her that while she was alive. She was in such pain for so many years that she truly deserves to rest in peace.”
Angry, Jeremy Bellet regretted that people questioned their friendship. “But who are you to judge friendships? My intentions were questioned. I think she had enough gossip while she was alive. Even in her death, there are quarrels, it’s unfortunate. Throughout her life, she was surrounded by people who weren’t necessarily sincere. I’ve lost people before, but this is the first time I’ve broken down after losing someone close. We supported each other, even from afar. We had each other’s backs,” he exclaimed.
Their final project together
Moreover, Jeremy Bellet and Loana had a project together. “We had a lot of projects, she wanted to move forward, she had projects, she wrote the foreword of my book. I won’t give up on them, I’ll do them for her. She wasn’t manipulable, she was someone real and sincere,” he recalled.
“We all have someone in our circle like Loana, we could only love her. I saw a lot of myself in her,” he concluded, promising to follow through with what they had promised each other. No doubt this book will be touching, as will the gesture of the reality TV star.
