While the legal battle rages in Alain Delon's entourage, it is now the actor himself who filed a complaint this Thursday against his son Anthony, after the interview given by the latter to "Paris Match". A new battle in a family in the midst of a torn up.

A storm is brewing in Alain Delon's family, whose implosion now seems obvious. After last summer's legal drama, which pitted the actor's children against Hiromi Rollin, presented as his "lady-in-waiting", it is now the interview of his son Anthony, granted to Paris-Match, that has triggered a new explosion. To the point of pushing Alain Delon himself to file a defamation complaint against Anthony. Let's take a look back at a battle with twists and turns that plunge the Delon clan into total chaos.

Wednesday, July 5, 2023: Alain Delon's children file a complaint against Hiromi Rollin

This was the beginning of the long series of sparring between the various stakeholders. On July 5, Alain Delon's three children, Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien filed a complaint against Hiromi Rollin, 66, unknown to the general public, but presented as the actor's "lady-in-waiting". Another complaint had even been filed, a few days earlier, by Anthony, the eldest. The siblings accuse the woman who defines herself as Alain Delon's partner of "moral harassment", "misappropriation of correspondence" and even "abuse of weakness" According to them, Hiromi Rollin would have exercised a hold on the actor, to the point of distancing him from his own children.

End of July 2023: a new complaint filed by... Hiromi Rollin

Very quickly, she counter-attacked. In the middle of the summer, Hiromi Rollin went to court to file a complaint against Alain Delon's children. She accuses them of acts of "violence in a group resulting in an incapacity not exceeding eight days", committed during his eviction from the actor's property in Douchy, in the Loiret region, on July 5. At the end of September, in an interview with Le Parisien, she spoke of a "traumatic" sequence and said she had been the victim of a "frame-up" by the siblings, intended to separate her from the actor.

As for the description of "lady-in-waiting" that is attached to her, notably by Anthony Delon, Hiromi Rollin denounces a "pure invention" and insists that she did indeed have a romantic relationship with Alain Delon. "We behaved like a normal couple, we had tender gestures towards each other in front of everyone. It suits her to call me a lady-in-waiting to justify the complaint, and thus erase 17 years of living together with their father," she added. This is disputed by Anouchka Delon, who had assured on the programme Sept à huit that her father had never presented Hiromi Rollin as his partner.

It's an interview that looks like a missile that Anthony Delon gave on Wednesday, January 3 in the columns of Paris-Match. The eldest of the siblings accuses his sister Anouchka, 32, of keeping secret the deterioration of the 88-year-old actor's health. "My sister never informed my brother and me that between 2019 and 2022 my father had been subjected to five cognitive tests during his visits to the clinic in Switzerland and that he did not pass any of them," denounces Anthony Delon, who goes even further in his denunciations by estimating that his sister is, as a result, "indirectly complicit in all the abuses and violence of which [Alain Delon] has been a victim". According to Anthony, Anouchka Delon and Hiromi Rollin were the actor's referents at the clinic where he was being treated.

January 4, 2024: Alain Delon files a complaint

The media and judicial storm took a new turn on Thursday. A day that began with the announcement of the dismissal of the complaints of the actor's three children against Hiromi Rollin, but also that of Hiromi Rollin against Anthony, Anouchka and Alain-Fabien.

While it already seemed extremely flammable, the situation really flared up, a few moments later, with the complaint filed by Alain Delon himself against his son Anthony for defamation. At the heart of the actor's wrath was this famous interview, published the day before on the Paris-Match website. The person concerned, through his lawyer, says he is "extremely shocked" by the "media unpacking orchestrated by Anthony". Alain Delon "can't stand the aggressiveness of his son Anthony who keeps telling him that he is senile" and, "even more shockingly", "claims that he would have lived his last Christmas", the lawyer reported. In the interview, Anthony Delon reveals some not very reassuring news about his father's state of health.

The last banner of this black Thursday in the Delon family: the complaint filed, this time, by Anouchka Delon against her brother, for harassment and defamation, according to information from Le Figaro.
