Twenty-one years after the appearance of Loft Story and Loana’s success story, reality TV shows have continued to occupy the audiovisual landscape of many television channels. Programs that today serve as a springboard for those who want to use their image on social networks to earn as much money as possible. But the price to pay is sometimes steep to reach such a level of notoriety. Filming rates and living conditions are not without consequences for the morale of some participants. “After the shooting, you have the backlash. Sometimes I stayed at home for weeks, shutters closed, because I didn’t even have the strength to get up. What you live on set, no one can understand.“, explained Rania Saiidii, former candidate of “Angels”, emblematic program of the NRJ12 channel, to our colleagues from Society in their last issue on newsstands on August 4.
“Even today I do therapy sessions to regulate my emotions and accept myself“, admits Émilie Amar, who participated in three reality TV shows between 2014 and 2017: “Friends Trip 2 and 3” and “Les Anges 9”.Coming out of there, I had been told so much that I was filthy that I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, I put on my hood to go out in the street, I no longer watched TV. I did a lot of surgery because I wanted to change everything about me…“, continues the young woman in the pages of Society.
To our colleagues, the candidate also reveals a very embarrassing moment experienced with what the journalists say is “a high-ranking member of the production” of one of the programs in which the young woman participated. “He gave me a piece of paper with his number on it and wrote ‘Your price is mine’, like I was an escort“, says the one who then confides that she never called this person back.
