He thought he could blend into the mass and ride himself into silence. But the truth reappears, brutal, Fifteen years later
Krisztina Rady’s suicide. Justice has just reopened the investigation, relaunching a debate that was believed to be closed. And that’s not all. While the spotlights are again on Bertrand Cantat, A disturbing revelation
Added to long list of grievances.
For several years, the former leader in Noir Désir has lived with his partner, several years his youngest. Very young. Too young? The discomfort is all the greater since the latter would have been … in the same high school as Milohis son. Information confirmed by several local sources to Paris Matchand which awakens a deep discomfort. This proximity questions, disturbs, and throws a cold light on the intimacy of the singer who has already broken so many lives. As if Bertrand Cantat continued to exercise his power of fascination, even with the youngest, despite His criminal past.
Milo, shadow and trouble
This relationship between Bertrand Cantat and his young companion makes all the more noise as he directly implies his son, Milo. The latter would have attended the same establishment as the young woman, in Bordeaux. A coincidence? Maybe. But the symbols do not lie. While Alice’s brother tries to do A name in musicfar from the weight of the surname, his father appears without embarrassment with one of his alleged classmates. One more provocation? Or the last proof that this depressive pseudo falsely plagued by guilt has no limits?
The discomfort is all the deeper since the musician, despite his entrenchments, continues to generate income thanks to its former successes. He no longer goes on stage, but remains active via his group Detroit, supported by faithful fans, Sometimes blind. However, feminist voices have never stopped shouting at
the indecencylike Lio, even if it means tense the masculinists and other stem of the same ilk.

Bertrand Cantat: indelible acts
While Krisztina Rady rests in a small cemetery in Moustey, his voice continues to resonate. In an audio recording left to her parents, she evoked his fear, his loneliness, his despair.
“With Bertrand in such a serious state, we can barely breathe“, she confided. This cry has never been heard. Classified without follow-up, the complaint did not succeed. It took a shock documentary on Netflix, Glowing testimoniesand the tenacity of a lawyer so that the investigation is finally reopened. It is not a question of revenge. But justice. And memory.
Because in the Cantat case, it is not the dates that count, but the silences. And there are many. Around Krisztina Rady. Around Marie Trintignant, who died under The blows of his companion. Around Alice, their daughter, who preferred to add her mother’s name to her civil status. Around Milo, who advances in the shadow of an omnipresent father, sometimes embarrassing. And around This partnerso young, so erased, whose history is already tinged with suspicion. Can we really talk about love, when the relations of domination are so obvious? Faced with this chronicle of an announced discomfort, only one certainty: feminism will not forget. And will not forgive.
