Loana: her best friend Delphine reveals who was really hidden under a black umbrella at her funeral

The funeral of Loana took place on Friday, April 10 in Nice, where she was found dead two weeks earlier. Many people attended to bid farewell to the first reality TV star in France. Benjamin Castaldi and Alexia Laroche-Joubert were among the guests at the funeral, as well as Angela Lorente, the chief editor of Loft Story. Steevy Boulay, who met Loana during the show broadcast on M6, was also present, as were Julie and her husband Christophe Mercy, another big winner of Loft Story. As expected, several members of Loana’s family were present at the ceremony held at the Cathedral Sainte-Réparate, starting with her mother, Violette Petrucciani.

Mindy and her daughter Maelysse were among the notable absentees at Loana’s funeral. There was speculation about their absence, with many believing they were the ones hidden under a large black umbrella upon arrival at the Cathedral Sainte-Réparate. However, Loana’s best friend clarified that it was Loana’s underage nieces – the daughters of her brother – who were under the umbrella.

Loana and Mindy, unfortunately, never reconciled before Loana’s sudden disappearance. Despite Loana’s hope to reconnect with her daughter who had been placed in foster care, Mindy, who became a mother in 2017, had no desire to have any contact with her mother.

“Always anxious to protect their anonymity, Mindy and her granddaughter Maelysse did not attend the ceremony,” the journalist of AFP confirmed. Delphine, who appeared on the show “Tout beau, tout neuf,” later revealed that those under the umbrella were Loana’s minor nieces – her brother’s daughters.
