For the past few days, Dylan Thiry has been the subject of serious accusations.
In audios revealed via the social networks of rapper Booba who has made it his mission to bring down those he describes as
"Influvoleur"
we hear the former reality TV candidate talk about projects that would be similar pimping and child trafficking.
This Thursday, April 27, Cyril Hanouna decided to approach the subject on the one hand to bounce back on the news as he does every evening in “Touche pas à mon poste” and on the other hand because one of his columnists is indirectly targeted by these revelations.
Indeed, Gilles Verdez had plans to write a book in collaboration with Dylan Thiry.
“This case is complicated because it is true that his image was already blurred, sulphurous … But there, if it is true, there is the presumption of innocence, there are deputies who have seized of the file, we would move on to another course”
begins by declaring the columnist this evening in “TPMP” before ensuring to speak
“in complete transparency”
.
A project initiated in May 2022
The book, not yet published but which is already controversial, is a project
"initiated in May 2022"
.
Gilles Verdez's interest was in particular the conversation with Dylan Thiry's Islam
.
“We found points of interest for discussion and there was a decision to write a book which today, I will specify right away, is suspended and there is no fixed publication date”
he says.
He also specifies that he had already found a publisher for this autobiography.
The book had to be written in the first person, Gilles Verdez, at the origin of the project, carrying out the interviews.
Their exchanges were made mainly by telephone because Dylan Thiry resides in Dubai.
"Everything he told me is not necessarily what I endorse, but I asked him questions, I interviewed him to tell me about his life"
remembers the columnist.
“In the book, we did not avoid any controversy.
Whether it's money pots during humanitarian trips..."
he adds.
Dylan Thiry has indeed called on his followers to participate in pots to finance humanitarian trips.
But a doubt remains on the real destination of the donations sent.
Gilles Verdez assures him he was
"not aware"
of the audios that have come out in recent days and
"all these potentially illegal practices, I did not know"
.
“We had talked about adoption because he himself is in an adoption process which he himself had spoken about in Madagascar.
I asked him if he had done all the formalities.
Well, we weren't avoiding anything, but what would have happened is something else entirely and I didn't know that”
concludes Gilles Verdez.
