From 1982 to 2007, Maître Jacques Verrechia defended the interests of Johnny Halliday. While his book Boss’s lawyer (Mareuil Éditions) will be published, he speaks to the press. Journaling Gala , the rocker’s storied lawyer notably returns to the complex personality of his client, with whom he shared an affinity. “We took him as a goofball, familiarly nicknamed him ‘Jojo’. But in his early days, he was mostly shy. Over the years, he gained confidence. It was he who conducted the interviews with journalists. He never stopped surprising me,” Jacques Verekia emphasizes to the magazine. “As a lawyer, I sometimes told him truths that others kept from him. He could sulk for fifteen days or a month. But he was coming back. There was absolute trust between us.”
Johnny Hallyday has fascinated the public for a long time. For his artistic achievements, but also for his personal history, love affairs, children, his wife Leticia… In this sense, Mae Verreccia leaves aside the fantasy according to which Leticia Halliday dominated her husband. “Johnny didn’t dare face people, he could be a bit of a coward,” begins the man who represented Jade and Joy Halliday in the 2019 succession war that toppled the singer’s clan. “As he did with his other companions, he put Leticia on a pedestal,” he continues. He convinced her that he was on a mission. She let him arrange their surroundings. But the other companions, first Sylvie Vardan, did the same thing in their time.”

In response, Leticia Halliday said she was “disgusted” by the media frenzy surrounding her husband’s estate. A term considered clumsy, soon to be used against him by Johnny’s fans, is therefore suspicious of the role Jade and Joe’s mother may have played in the formation of their idol’s fourth and final will. Charlie Hebdo The front page of one of his publications, a caricature of him as a praying mantis, and the headline “Johnny Loved Him, Why Not You” are dedicated to him.
