Dominique Tapie returns to the fray. Fifteen days after the broadcast of the Netflix series about Bernard Tapie with Laurent Lafitte in the lead role, and after having criticized it for the first time, his widow continues to criticize the liberties taken by its creators.
“I saw it 48 hours before,” he explained on the BFMTV set. “I don’t recognize myself at all. I think it’s a shame to make fiction when there is real substance. It was very easy. My husband has done so many things in his life.”
Dominique Tapie also denounces the series which suggests she was Bernard Tapie’s right-hand man in his affairs. “That was not the case at all,” she insists. “It puts me at odds with the business continuing.”
“I never looked at my husband’s files,” she says. “I have not been an entrepreneur. And in the series I am a bit of an entrepreneur, which I am not in life either.”
“It’s not possible”
Dominique Tapie also did not appreciate the treatment reserved for Bernard Tapie, who is presented in some episodes of the series as a big boy. “What bothered me a little bit was that they made him look like an idiot.”
Bernard Tapie’s widow also criticizes the scene that pits the businessman against prosecutor Eric de Montgolfier. “Mongolfier lectures him. He’s like a little boy. Can you imagine Bernard? It’s not possible. Mongolfier was a little less bad and my husband was a little more subtle.”
Laurent Tapie, Bernard Tapie’s son, also criticized RMC the Netflix series: “I regret having chosen to mix pure fiction with reality, particularly regarding the acquisition of the battery manufacturer Wonder. My mother’s role too: in the series they make her a businesswoman, but it was It’s not the brain at all.”
“I really liked the first two episodes, we found the Bernard Tapie who wears his things, the asshole guy, but then he evolved and we don’t feel it in the series. The character does not evolve,” he said.
