Michel Sardou: his daughter Cynthia “has had a terrible experience”

“There's not much to say. She followed elementary studies rather badly than well. Then, without enthusiasm, professional training. She married once or twice in Vegas. Blessed by fake pastors who looked like of Elvis or Sammy Davis. And lives with a featureless man that I will never try to know… That's all”, Michel Sardou had first indicated about his eldest daughter Sandrine.

“I have another daughter, a younger one, who unfortunately had a terrible experience. […] I feel like we don't understand each other. We haven't grown apart, but there is a situation that is very difficult to manage”, Michel Sardou also added about his second daughter Cynthia. As a reminder, the woman who was notably a correspondent for Canal+ in the United States had been kidnapped, sequestered and raped by three men in Pontoise. On Christmas Eve in 1999.

Without placing expectations on him and living in disappointment”, Cynthia first declared. She then clarified that she did not see “ often” her father.

“From there to saying that we are he and I, in conflict ?
