Hiromi Rollin, former makeup artist and assistant director, known for having shared the daily life of Alain Delon for more than 30 years, expresses her deep sorrow after the actor’s death. Often referred to as a "lady-in-waiting" in the media, she has reacted publicly. However, some consider her rather as the last companion of the cinema legend. She reacted following Delon’s passing, which occurred on August 18, 2024.
Hiromi Rollin revealed to Le Figaro that she feels "devastated" not only by the loss of the man with whom she shared a large part of her life, but also by the attitude of the actor’s children, Anthony, Anouchka, and Alain-Fabien Delon. In July 2023, they had expelled her from the family home in Douchy, a decision she considers unjust and brutal.
Rollin recounts that she lived alongside Alain Delon for 17 years within this property, where she took care of him daily. According to her, the Delon children prevented her from saying goodbye to the actor. She describes this act as inhumane. "We loved each other for more than 30 years," she confides, bitterly regretting not being able to be present during the last moments of her presumed companion.
The expulsion of Hiromi Rollin is part of a context of tense family conflicts. In July 2023, the Delon children accused her of mistreatment, a serious accusation that was brought before the courts. These complaints included allegations of moral harassment and abuse of weakness towards the actor. This particularly concerns the period since his stroke in 2019. Nevertheless, these accusations were dismissed by the Montargis prosecutor’s office in January 2024, which did not prevent the Delon children from keeping their distance from Ms. Rollin.
Despite these painful events, Hiromi Rollin claims to have continued to maintain a relationship with Alain Delon, even after her forced departure from Douchy. She explains that he left her a message in March 2024. In this message, he expressed his desire to see her again. He said he was too lonely. For her, this call was further proof of the bond that united them. Despite this, the Delon children tried to keep her away from their father.
Furthermore, Hiromi Rollin emphasizes that the actor’s health significantly deteriorated after her expulsion. She claims that the children decided to stop a medical treatment that, according to her, was working well and made Delon confident. She says she is outraged by this decision, believing that it contributed to the rapid deterioration of his health.
The situation of Hiromi Rollin sheds new light on the tensions that surrounded Alain Delon in his final years. Although she was removed from his life by his children, she remains convinced of the depth of their relationship. She deplores what she considers an injustice. This prevented her from sharing the last moments of the actor’s life. To be continued… .
