A lurid public feud among the children of Alain Delon, the ailing 1960s French film idol, has deepened with his son posting audio of his sister allegedly subjecting their father to “venomous” manipulation.

Alain-Fabien Delon, 29, posted what he said was a recording of Anouchka Delon, 33, after she went on to TF1 television news to say she was reporting Anthony, 59, the eldest of the three siblings, who are all actors, to prosecutors for libelling her.

The fight erupted last week when Anthony accused his half-sister of “abjectly” manipulating the 88-year-old star, who has been enfeebled since a stroke in 2019, to control his life and move him to Switzerland.

Alain-Fabien Delon said he made the recording with his phone after dinner at Douchy, Delon’s estate in the Loire region
