Viewers certainly thought they had seen it all when Teheiura was kicked out of Koh Lanta for cheating. The adventurer admitted to having obtained food from local fishermen on two occasions. The sanction was then inevitable. But here it is, at the beginning of the week, The Parisian reported that other candidates were now involved in a new case. Indeed, according to their anonymous sources, there would have been several illegal meals during the filming, without the knowledge of the production. And this up to three times a week.
Faced with the swelling controversy, the production came out of silence through an official press release this Wednesday, December 8, 2021. It ensures that it was not aware of the case at the time of the facts. “We were informed recently, several months after filming was completed, by participating adventurers that several adventurers would have left, in the middle of the night, the site where they spend the night after the council to feed“, we read.
Thus, it is with precaution but determination that ALP intends to clarify this whole story. “In view of these elements we decided to conduct a survey of the adventurers present on the set but also in Polynesia with the locals in order to collect all the possible information on this affair, just as we had done after the rustling which circulated on the camp at the time of the shooting and which concerned Teheiura“, he was promised. But, so far, difficult to get a confession due to lack of evidence. “We have summoned the adventurers likely to be involved in this affair and all refute the accusations. This is why we continue to investigate before making any decision and this, we want to make it clear, without any favoritism for any adventurer whatsoever.“
