When Noovo revealed the suitors who would be taking part in the new love season’s farmers speed-dating on the meadow in early January, several women said the suitor, named Maxime, had molested them on multiple occasions.
The show’s production initially claimed to have taken the allegations seriously, but that doesn’t change the new season. But a few days later, we learned that Season 11 would start two weeks late. The reason? We had to re-cut the first few shows to completely remove the toxic candidate.
Katherine Levac, who was met this week at the unveiling of the nominations for the Les Olivier gala, which she will host in March, has agreed to return to the turmoil of reality TV, which she helms for the third time this winter.
“Everyone talks to me about it as if the Pope or my children were dead! she starts first. There’s a guy who wasn’t smatte (nice), we took him out of the edit. What can I tell you? I really feel the same way. »
“I think more about people”
The 33-year-old comedian adds that he was thinking in particular of farmer Anne-Sophie, who chose Maxime from among the three suitors to continue the adventure. “She especially had a difficult month and a lot of comments about it. »
“Love is in the meadow, it’s a TV show,” she continues. But that’s the life of these people. The show ends and her real life begins. They are a couple. They raise families. It’s too much real life for me not to think about. »
“While the ratings, the channel and the OD (Occupation Double) comparisons, all that stuff, I put it in a little box, I close the box and never think about it again. It’s not one of my priorities in life to think about it. I think more of people. But I am. »
Jay you temple
Katherine Levac is a very good friend of Jay Du Temple — who himself experienced a similar controversy with last season’s Occupation Double — and mentions that she didn’t actually speak to him about the turmoil.
“Reality shows that we are hosts, on the list of topics we like to discuss they get very, very high. There are many other things we talk about like our lives, our families, our parents. We are friends. What unites us is not that we host reality shows. Before that, there are about 43 topics. »
Katherine acknowledges that the controversy Jay faced last fall – when three toxic contestants had to be removed mid-season – was far greater than her own. “It was, I would say, a real uproar. He’s happy to be back. He’s focused on his shows, his life, his little business. I don’t think we’ll be coming back to this every dinner! »
The tour with twins
Following her animation of Olivier, Katherine Levac will focus on breaking in her new solo show on March 19th. “I’m starting this summer, I can’t wait. It’s a third show [elle a sortie Velours et Grosse avant ça]. i’m on tour I can barely wait for it. »
Mom to twins who are just over a year old, how will the comedian’s next tour go? “Certainly wrong! she answers laughing. It’s organization. But at the same time I feel so much better. I’m so much more productive and creative. I have no choice! time, there is none. »
