Laeticia Hallyday returns to the conflict around the legacy of Taulier (video)

This Monday, December 5 will mark the fifth year since the death of Johnny Hallydayfrom terrible lung cancer. A disappearance which had upset his thousands of fans, but which had above all caused a rupture within his family. Indeed, on reading his will, his elders David Hallyday and Laura Smet had discovered that they were excluded from the inheritance, in favor of the widow of the singer, Laeticia Hallydayand their two daughters together, Jade and Joy. After a years-long legal battle, a deal was finally reached in July 2020, but the damage was done.

This weekend, Laeticia Hallyday was the guest of the radio program “Le Journal Inattendu”, in order to talk about the M6 ​​documentary retracing the career of the Taulier, but also about the exhibition which will be dedicated to him from December 20 to June 2023, in Brussels, then in Paris in 2024. The opportunity for her to return to this sad conflict which tore the Hallyday clan apart, and to the still strained relations with her husband’s elders. ” The only one who could appease these resentments is Johnny. Because he left and he didn’t fix some things… “She explains at the microphone of RTL France. ” He certainly knew that I was strong to get there, but he left me with a lot of problems that he did not manage, for lack of courage. But it was him, we couldn’t change him. I forgive him today. she adds.

The young mother assures hope that things will calm down within the family, specifying: “ They are already appeased, but it is still a long way. “Laeticia Hallyday claims to think above all of her daughters, who are now 18 and 14 years old, and who have been “forgotten”, “left in this mourning”. ” We were all three in this mourning, and there was no one left. When we didn’t live like that, that’s what hurts. she laments. And to conclude:
I can’t fix the problems that Johnny left. He is no longer there and obviously, I take responsibility for him as I have always taken on everything for him. This is my life, my destiny. He is the man I have loved and will love all my life, with his weaknesses and his flaws. »
