Summary :

On April 26, 2001, in prime time on M 6, Loft Story propels France into the era of reality TV.

13 singles enter a house that evening where they will remain locked up and filmed for 70 days.

From the start, Loana Petrucciani, 23 years old and gogo dancer, appears as the emblematic candidate of the program.

Over the broadcasts, the young blonde opens up little by little about her difficult childhood.

She ends up winning the game and 1.5 million francs.

Her daydream of celebrity turns into a nightmare at the end of the 2000s. Drugs, alcohol, notoriety at half mast and bad encounters… Loana makes suicide attempts, and is interned several times in a psychiatric hospital.

Loana Petrucciani is now reassuring to her many fans about her state of health.

A study book has just been devoted to him, “Sexism Story” (Ed. Seuil) published on February 4, in which the journalist Paul Sanfourche deciphers this social phenomenon.
