Alain Delon’s health is at the heart of a legal and media battle between his three children. But how is the 88-year-old actor doing?
How are you Alain Delon ? This is the thorny question at the heart of a thorny legal and media battle between those close to the 88-year-old actor, and in particular his children: Alain-Fabien and Anthony Delon on one side, Anouchka Delon on the ‘other. Everyone makes their alarming comment on the actor’s health. Medical expertise was also requested by the Montargis public prosecutor’s office to assess his state of health following requests for judicial protection made by his son Anthony Delon and the actor’s lawyers.
But an initial medical assessment of Alain Delon has already been contested by the lawyer of Anthony Delon and the actor, without us knowing, for the moment, the conclusions of this expertise. Saturday January 13, the regularity of the medical procedure performed was called into question in a letter sent to the Montargis prosecutor, consulted by BFM TV. “The expertise is currently taking place in Douchy in the sole presence of Anouchka Delon who answers instead of the questions asked to Mr. Alain Delon,” explains lawyer Laurence Bedossa in her letter. This information was not commented on by Anouchka Delon’s advice.
Alain Delon would have stopped his treatments
For his part, Alain Delon’s lawyer, Me Christophe Ayela, revealed that he had sent a report to the courts for “endangering” the actor. He assures that Alain Delon would have stopped his treatments since the end of August at the request of Anthony and Alain-Fabien Delon, the actor’s sons. He assures that they would put him at risk of “premature death” by stopping his care and medical monitoring.
Alain Delon’s lawyer wishes, in fact, the appointment of a legal representative in order to protect the actor from the decision of his sons, a decision that they would have taken, according to Anouchka Delon, against his opinion but also that of their father. Their sister, Anouchka, says she wants to take their father to Switzerland so that he can undergo medical treatment. His brothers, on the contrary, accuse him of wanting to do it for tax reasons, ensuring that their father wants to die in his residence in Douchy.
“A lamentable state”, a “danger of death”?
Whether it’s his children or his former partner (or lady-in-waiting according to his family) Hiromi Rollin, everyone makes their alarming comment on the health of Alain Delon. It all started on January 4 with the publication, in Paris-Match, of an interview with Anthony Delon who assured his sister of not having informed him of their father’s “cognitive deterioration”.
For Hiromi Rollin who confided in RTL, the 88-year-old actor is “in mortal danger” if he stops his treatments. She assures that the actor was in good health before she left Douchy last July: “It’s been four months without treatment, six months without medical check-up. Alain’s life is in danger. I have not not afraid to say that he is in mortal danger.”
Alain Delon’s youngest child, Alain-Fabien, already spoke of “a lamentable state” of the actor during an interview with BFMTV this Wednesday, January 10, before adding in a comment published on Instagram revealing a recording of his sister that their father is “very weakened”, “very anxious”, he “no longer has a voice and speaks with great difficulty” , he “is not always coherent”, he “does not know when it is morning or evening”.
A legal battle between the Delon children
Alain Delon’s state of health crystallizes the quarrels between his children. On January 4, the eldest, Anthony Delon, revealed to Paris-Match that he had filed a complaint against his sister Anouchka. In return, she filed a complaint against her brother for defamation, slanderous denunciation, threats and harassment. Alain-Fabien Delon filed a complaint against his sister for “abuse of weakness to the detriment of their father”.
