In the video, the 24-year-old model says she wants to move away from the “negative” and the heaviness surrounding this story which led to her being excluded from the houses, just like Philippe and Félix (who had already been eliminated) at the middle of the season.

After saying that this will be his last intervention in connection with the reality show of Noovo, produced by Julie Snyder, he has been criticized a lot for not having apologized in his previous outings.
“I know that in my last video, there are a lot of people who blame me for not[être] excuse. Even in my messages this is what comes up the most. By subscribing to “Double occupation”, my ultimate goal has never been to hurt anyone, in any way, so if by the images that have been broadcast to you, at the level of my decisions or even at the level of my looks might hurt people, and be perceived as intimidation, I am deeply sorry. It was never my ultimate goal and I personally apologize for that,” said the young man.
“You have to remember one thing: when you sign up for “Double Occupation”, it’s a leap into the unknown, it’s a unique adventure, then you don’t get an instruction guide, unfortunately. . And we are not told: “this decision is good to take, this decision is not good to take”. So it’s in a game context, you have to remember that too, it’s not real life, ”he continues.
Isaack believes that much more damaging comments have been heard in previous editions of “OD” without the candidates concerned having been excluded or singled out. He even affirms that by removing all the images from the beginning of the season in which he appeared, it was not possible for him to do an “introspection” to better evolve.
Saying to receive hateful comments and even death threats, Isaack believes that “in 2022, nothing more can be said or done”.
He does not draw a line on public life, at least he concludes his message by saying that he has great projects in his boxes.

An emotional final for Jay Du Temple
As for Jay Du Temple, he will have animated “OD” with a lot of humor, freshness and inclusion for six seasons. The one who wore flamboyant looks and who changed hair color very (too) often this year announced his departure to Julie Snyder even before his departure for Martinique. This means that the bullying controversy has nothing to do with his decision to devote himself to his comedy projects, in particular his show “End”. He managed to keep his cool during the final, despite the strong emotions that inhabited him.
Some 565,300 viewers watched the final final driven by Jay Du Temple on Sunday. It was “Masked singers” (1,623,500) which dominated the evening, ahead of “Revolution” (1,041,200), “Everyone talks regarding it” (941,800) and “The big laboratory” (606,200).
