Loana’s image will forever be linked to that of “Loft Story.” The very first winner of the reality TV show, who was a go-go dancer at the time, saw her life change after the M6 program. For better and for worse. Throughout her life, Violette’s daughter was haunted by the images of the famous pool scene, where she had a sexual encounter with Jean-Edouard Lipa in front of the cameras. Two destinies forever linked by scandal, so much so that even though they hadn’t seen each other for years, he was obviously one of the first to speak out after her death on March 25th.
“We had been expecting it for a long time, but even in these cases, it’s still a shock. I’m the first to be saddened because Loana truly had a shattered destiny,” he wrote on his social media, recalling that the last time he had seen her, he had warned her about her excesses and appearances on television. The subject is now closed for the former “Loft Story” contestant, who is now a father to a little girl named Victoire, to the point that he has already announced that he will not attend Loana’s funeral.
Jean-Edouard Lipa: why won’t he go to Loana’s funeral? During a TikTok live, Jean-Edouard Lipa announced his decision not to attend Loana’s funeral, which will be held in Nice on April 10th. Many Loft stars are expected to attend, but Jean-Edouard will not.
“Because it’s not my place. I’ve seen Loana three times in 25 years, so I don’t feel legitimate,” he explained to his followers, adding with irony: “I think she has enough friends who are constantly on TV talking about her. I leave it to them to go in my place.”
Loana: who are these “well-meaning friends” mentioned by Jean-Edouard Lipa? Loana indeed has many friends who speak out in the press or on social media. Laurent Amar, Jérémy Bellet, Sylvie Ortega… Many claim to be the closest friends of the former reality TV star. The ex-daughter-in-law of Sheila even claimed to have communicated with Loana the day before her death. This information is hard to believe since, according to initial investigation findings, the reality TV star, whose autopsy results have been revealed, had been deceased for several days.
“The people around Loana have been problematic. It’s a real issue. There is, for example, a certain Sylvie who claims to be her friend or her best friend of who knows what, who even told us on Cyril’s show yesterday, ‘I spoke with Loana yesterday.’ But, come on! Can you believe it? She said she spoke with her yesterday! What a liar! She didn’t speak with her yesterday! She had been deceased for at least a week,” lamented Jordan De Luxe on CNews. Whether true or false friends, there will certainly be many to pay their respects at her funeral.
