Delon affair: biased medical expertise?

Delon affair biased medical expertise

After initial assessments which indicated that Alain Delon’s discernment was “totally abolished”, a new medical assessment, carried out at his request, affirms the opposite.

The state of health ofAlain Delon is at the heart of a legal battle. Through harsh media interviews, intimate revelations on social networks and press releases from lawyers, the two sons of the sacred monster of cinema, Anthony and Alain-Fabien Delon, oppose their sister Anouchka Delon. The cessation of treatment and medical monitoring of their father would have been decided between Alain Delon and his three children, claims Anthony Delon’s camp, while Anouchka Delon refutes this joint decision-making. At the same time, there is also the case which opposes the three children to the one who presents herself as the ex-partner of Alain Delon, Hiromi Rollin, whom they accuse of abuse of weakness.

Faced with the Delons’ family setbacks, justice was taken and Alain Delon’s cognitive abilities were examined. If the public prosecutor of Montargis had assured in an email sent to Anthony Delon at the beginning of January that previous expertises, carried out within the framework of the Hiromi Rollin affair, concluded that the actor’s discernment was “totally abolished”, the Alain Delon’s lawyer asserts the opposite this Monday, January 15, putting on the table a new expertise carried out this Saturday at the actor’s request.

“Mr Alain Delon answered the questions of the expert doctor thus confirming that his discernment is in no way abolished, contrary to the slanderous accusations of which he has been the subject in the media since January 4, 2024”, assures Me Christophe Ayela in his press release including The Parisian echoes. On Saturday, Anthony Delon and his lawyer quickly spoke about this second opinion. They had notably affirmed that it was held “in the sole presence of Anouchka Delon who responds[ait] in place of the questions asked to Mr. Alain Delon”, which immediately called into question the “regularity” of the said expertise.
