It’s a soap opera that fascinates the country: the quarrel between Inès Reg and Natasha St-Pier behind the scenes of season 13 of “Dance with the stars”. If the two young women each spoke on social networks to give their version of the facts. We notice that the TF1 channel remains rather silent on the affair which is causing a lot of noise on social networks.
This Sunday, March 31, 2024, the former programmer of the TF1 channel, Laurent Storch was invited on the set of the show “Cmedia” on France 5. The latter then assured that the lack of reaction from the channel is a “good strategy” according to him. The 62-year-old then remembered the crises he had to manage when he was still working on the first channel.
“I had one a week, and two a year or so that came out [dans la presse]” he declared before discussing what was THE biggest crisis of his 15-year career. “One of the very, very big ones that we had to manage was when we made La Ferme Célébrités 15,000 kilometers from here and Jean-Pierre Pernaut’s wife was suspected of flirting with a candidate, which was a priori false. he remembered.
A scandal that marked the history of television
Remember in 2005, Nathalie Marquay participated in season 2 of the show “The Celebrity Farm” and the former Miss France had been accused of getting closer to Daniel Ducruet during filming. “At the time it was a bit complicated, there weren’t that many cell phones. We still had Jean-Pierre Pernaut who was doing Le 13 Heures and who was visibly fading away with a show of his own channel…” revealed Laurent Storch. And to conclude: “I can tell you that this crisis was much more severe than today’s.”
Faced with the scale of the controversy, Nathalie Marquay left the filming at the request of her husband.
“I had a special call from Jean-Pierre who asked me to leave the show. It was very difficult. Inventing a love story that didn’t exist was very complicated…” she said in the documentary broadcast on C8 which highlighted her husband, “Jean-Pierre Pernaut: 50 years in the hearts of the French”.
