SORDID MEDIA UNPACKING

AROUND THE EXPLOSION OF THE DELON CLAN

FACED WITH THE PATRIARCH’S DECLINING HEALTH

Around the tutelary figure of the father, of the star Alain Delon, his three children, Anthony, 59 years old, Anouchka, 34 years old, and Alain-Fabien, 30 years old, argue. Alain Delon's heirs are fighting over custody of the patriarch in declining health. And this went as far as waging a legal and media war around their father. Gone is the united front of the Delon children against Hiromi Rollin, described as the “lady in waiting” of the monument of French cinema.

From July 2023 Alain-Fabien, Anthony and Anouchka Delon discuss the state of health of their father by SMS. It is notably a question of stopping the treatment of the actor, whose health has deteriorated since his stroke in 2019.

“What I think: immediately stop dad's treatment in order to improve his living conditions and what remains of his health,” pleads Anthony Delon in one of these text messages relayed by the news channel. “I think, to this day, he’s tired of fighting. […] If he decides to give up, nothing and no one can do anything about it,” he says, before ending his message with “We’ll talk later. I kiss you ". And Anthony Delon wishes Alain Delon to return to his home in Douchy (Loiret) “with as much comfort and love as possible to accompany him,” he writes.

A “difficult” decision to be “taken by three”

A proposal to which Anouchka Delon opposed and continues to do so, then as today. The actor’s only daughter responds: “We are not specialists. So, stop (the treatment), why not, but not now,” she writes, still according to the same source. She says she wants, like her brothers, to "keep dad in the best conditions for a while longer", but judges that stopping treatment against medical advice is not "reasonable". And she warns “We have to be aware that if anything happens to him, it will be our fault. I kiss you. »

Since these exchanges last summer, and the outbreak of the affair with Hiromi Rollin, the actor's state of health has continued to fracture the siblings. Anthony and Alain-Fabien want their father to be treated in France. Anouchka wants him to be treated in Switzerland. Alain Delon's Swiss doctor would also have alerted one of the actor's lawyers, lawyer Christophe Aleya, of an "imminent danger of death" in the event of stopping the treatment.

And it was Anthony Delon who set the scene on fire on January 4. In the columns of Paris Match, the actor's eldest son announced that he had filed a complaint against Anouchka Delon on the previous November 7. According to him, his half-sister would have concealed the negative results of cognitive tests carried out in Switzerland on their father. In this story with classic outlines but sordid form, emotional blackmail, repressed resentments, and lack of filial love are mixed. Without forgetting, of course, the money. “Anouchka's anxiety, with her lawyer, is that my father will be redefined as a French citizen.

There would be a huge tax, a huge tax,” explained Anthony Delon on CNews.
The origin of this mutual distrust, of these suppressed unsaid words, and of this fierce competition to win the heart of their sick father, remains enigmatic. Anthony and Alain-Fabien feel like the outcasts of the clan, confronted with their half-sister Anouchka who has always benefited from paternal preference. She had been taken under the protective wing of her father from the age of 12, while they together filmed the television film "The Lion", inspired by the work of Joseph Kessel.

And the great media and legal unpacking gets carried away...

The heirs of Alain Delon are definitely not part of The Race of Lords.
