Lebœuf Reveals Reason for Departure
In an interview, Lebœuf, daughter of former footballer Frank Lebœuf, explained that a death in her ex-husband’s family prompted her decision to leave the show.
“There was a death in Stéphane’s family,” Lebœuf said, referring to stéphane Rodrigues, her ex-husband. “At that time, I did not think of the association, I did not think of the game, I wanted to be with my loved ones.”
Emotional Toll of ‘Traitors’
Lebœuf described her experience on ”Traitors” as emotionally challenging.The game requires contestants to identify “traitors” among them, leading to suspicion and accusations.
“It’s filled with emotions and it’s quite complicated,” Lebœuf stated.”We have to defend ourselves without evidence, we get accused without proof… And then to be accused when we are loyal, after a while, we no longer really know what to give as arguments.”
Brother’s Revelation and Family Bond
In a previous episode, Hugo lebœuf revealed the siblings’ family connection to other contestants, a moment Jade described as a “deliverance.”
“Keeping this secret was sometimes very challenging,” she said.”We were finally able to unpack our bag to other players,in all honesty.” She added that her brother’s concern for her well-being influenced his decision to disclose their relationship.
Misunderstandings and Close Relationship
The close bond between Jade and Hugo led to some contestants mistakenly believing they were a couple. Jade acknowledged this risk, explaining that their strong connection and understanding of each other made them appear “fused and complementary,” which aroused suspicion.
Playing for a Cause
Lebœuf participated in “Traitors” to support Elle’s Imagine’nt, an association dedicated to assisting women who are victims of domestic violence. She expressed disappointment at not being able to further advocate for the cause.
“I am frustrated for the association I represented,” Lebœuf said, “I would have liked to be able to defend them more, because it is a cause that is close to my heart.” she explained that she had developed strong ties with the organization and has a close personal connection to the issue of domestic violence.
