“It worships me”: why Benjamin Castaldi’s eldest son is angry with Gilles Verdez

Gilles Verdez is one of the emblematic columnists of the show Do not touch My TV, broadcast on C8. In this one, Cyril Hanouna is used to chaining confidences, in particular on the private life of his guests or people present on the set. It was Gilles Verdez who, last January, let himself go a little too much. He had revealed that a big event was preparing within the Castaldi family. “It is enormous“, he said before adding that Benjamin Castaldi was going to become a grandfather. Guest of Jordan de Luxe this Monday, June 13, Julien Castaldi returned to this announcement, which upset him a lot. “I wish it had been my father who announced it“, he initially regretted. “My father played the game. I thought it was him who was going to say: ‘I’m going to be a grandpa’. Whereas it was Gilles Verdez who said: ‘Benjamin is going to be a grandpa’. When he was told not to say it, because it was still a little early“, he continued. A regret for the young man who assures that he does not “didn’t want. In addition, he had been told: ‘Don’t do it because it’s still early!’ It made me a little venerated because it was up to me to speak on it“, he concluded.

The arrival of a child changes a life and it is that of Julien Castaldi who will soon be turned upside down. If he regrets not having been able to announce it himself, the young man indicates however that he does not want the columnist. “I know that Gilles is not mean“, he explains before specifying that a little discomfort has settled, in particular vis-à-vis the family of his companion, Kiara.His whole family didn’t know. That’s the real problem”he said before adding: “I really don’t care. For Kiara’s family, as she has a big family and it was a little early.” For his part, Julien Castaldi was quick to announce it to his parents. “We told my father that she was two months pregnant. And after, I was told three months at least“, he said. Present alongside his brother, it was Simon Castaldi who then took the floor. “I don’t find that correct. I don’t think we can’t afford to say things like that,” he launched before adding: “Even if it is my father, who is a little bit airheaded, who must have said it. I don’t find it good. I find it limiting not even to call Julien“.

Gilles Verdez and Benjamin Castaldi: are the two columnists cold?

On the set of Do not touch My TV, the atmosphere is often explosive between Benjamin Castaldi and Gilles Verdez. Guest of the show At Jordan’s a few weeks ago, the columnist had agreed to discuss their relationship. “I have no enemy. Or else, if I have one, I don’t know”, he had first assured before adding that he is very close to Gilles Verdez, to the surprise of Jordan de Luxe. “He is with me three times a week. We work together!“. If Julien and Simon Castaldi are quite upset against the columnist, it seems that this is not the case with their father.
