The family conflict starring the Delon clan has France in its heart. The exchange of accusations between the 88-year-old actor and his three children regarding the health of the former has taken such a turn that French justice has had to intervene. Specifically, the Prosecutor’s Office of Montargis, where the film star lives, has ordered a medical examination on his state of health to determine whether to place him under judicial protection.
The prosecutor has explained in a statement that he has received two different requests regarding the urgency of putting someone who has been an icon of French cinema under judicial protection. One is from the actor’s eldest son, Anthony Delon, who believes that his sister Anouchka is manipulating his father, and the other from the lawyer of Alain Delon himself, Christophe Ayela, who is also from his daughter , and which considers that the actor is in danger after the “abrupt interruption of medical treatments” that would have allegedly authorized the male children.
To finish it off, Hiromi Rollin, the ex-companion and caretaker of the performer, has entered the scene, whom Delon’s three children jointly denounced in the summer of psychological abuse towards him. Rollin has reported to the authorities an “attempted voluntary homicide” against Delon by his children. Rollin’s lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, has asked the Montargis Prosecutor’s Office to “investigate urgently”. The letter sent to the Prosecutor’s Office emphasizes that Delon’s children “are aware that (these treatments) are vital” for the actor and that their termination “would precipitate his death”.
The lawyer of the patriarch of the clan sees a need for “regular follow-up” with “examinations, treatments and periodic reviews”. In addition, it seems essential to him that he “continues the treatment that began during his last stay” at the Swiss clinic where he went in June 2021. Anouchka, 33, is the only one who seems to agree with this approach, which is why she is in open conflict with her two brothers, Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29. She wants her father to return to Switzerland, where she lives, while her brothers prefer her to stay in France Anthony and Alain-Fabien believe that what worries Anouchka, who will inherit half of Delon’s estate while they will divide the other half, is that Alain Delon “will be considered a French citizen again”, which would entail “an enormous tax ” post mortem.
According to the version of the lawyer of the father and the daughter, Anthony Delon has decided to administer to his father a regimen based on “fruit and vegetable juices prescribed by a naturopath” because under his vision his father “no longer has to receive real treatment, but only palliative care”.
In an interview with Paris Match in which he assured that his father “is weakened and can no longer bear to see himself like this, diminished”, Anthony accused his sister of having hidden from him the results of some medical tests of his parent carried out in 2019 which showed that the actor’s cognitive ability has deteriorated since the stroke he suffered that year, which put him at a disadvantage to Hiromi Rollin, who they held responsible for the actor’s deterioration and isolating that of his family. Hiromi was removed from Delon’s life and evicted from her home.
Now Anthony accuses his sister of being an accomplice, to which the younger brother, Alain-Fabien, has been added, who also speaks of “abuse of weakness to the detriment of his father”. And he says hypocritically: “If you were really worried about your father’s health, you would have come to spend Christmas”, he declared. In the image shared by Alain-Fabien of these parties, the brothers were seen, but not Anouchka.
Alain Delon himself, through his lawyer, has been “extremely shocked by the outburst orchestrated by his son Anthony”, which is why he will file a lawsuit. “He can’t stand the aggressiveness of his son Anthony, who keeps telling him he’s senile.” Anouchka has announced another defamation lawsuit against her brother. “I feel ashamed that my family life is so broken,” he said. An unfortunate end for one of the last gallants of the golden age of French cinema.
