Nearly a month after the death of Alain Delon, Hiromi Rollin speaks for the first time on television in “Envoyé spécial”. Sidelined by the star’s children, she nevertheless says she shared the actor’s life for many years.
“We loved each other for over thirty years, we lived together for seventeen years, in Douchy. Since I was evicted, I have clung to the hope of finding him again one day. He is no longer here, I have not been able to say goodbye to him.“, says Hiromi Rollin. She confides that she learned of Alain Delon’s death from a friend, the family having not informed her. Her requests to attend the actor’s burial were ignored, she claims.
She is speaking on television for the first time since the death of Alain Delon on August 18, at the age of 88. Hiromi Rollin agreed to give an exclusive interview to Elise Lucet in “Envoyé spécial”, an opportunity for her to give her version of the facts.
The star’s children claim she was just a “lady companion”, she maintains that she was the actor’s last companion. “He said to me, taking my hands: ‘hello my other half, thank you for being here, if I’m alive it’s thanks to you’…”, she says. She says today “flouted“, “and our love is trampled.”
This life shared with Alain Delon was far, according to her, from being “a long quiet river” : “It was rather rough seas, with storms all the time” The actor, who was, according to him, “a bit macho”, asked her to give up her career as an assistant director, as well as her friends and family in Japan. She even describes a man “angry and violent”, Who “was blackmailing” : “If you go to Japan, there’s no point in coming back to Douchy,” he would have told him. “I dared to go to Japan twice for my father, she says. He fired me twice, when I came back from Japan. He wanted everything or nothing.”
In spring 2023, the actor would have promised him “provide coverage of Paris Match“. “Alain even came up with the title: ‘the last woman in my life’.” But this magazine cover never existed, the idea, according to her, having had to “scare the children”. Nor marriage, which the actor considered “possible”, tell Hiromi Rollin: If she had been employed by Alain Delon since 2012, it was, she explains, only to be able to benefit from social security. “I was never his assistant or his employee,” she says.
On July 5, 2023, Hiromi Rollin was evicted from the star’s residence in Douchy, Loiret, at the request of Anouchka, Anthony and Alain-Fabien Delon who accused her of mistreatment. The case has since been closed without further action, and Hiromi Rollin has always maintained her innocence. She decided to file a complaint against them again: “Alain is no longer here to experience this. That’s why I waited. And I lost everything. My life was destroyed, now I have nothing to lose.” To date, the complaint has not been filed.
“Envoyé spécial” contacted the lawyers of Alain Delon and his daughter Anouchka, as well as Anthony and Alain-Fabien directly. Those who wished to respond dispute Hiromi Rollin’s statements. Alain-Fabien sent a letter signed Alain Delon in December 2022, stating that he refuses to marry Hiromi Rollin despite her insistence and that he no longer wants her to stay in Douchy.
An interview broadcast in “Special Envoy ” the 12th September 2024.
