Invited in Facing Hanouna this Saturday, October 5, Chantal Goya took stock of her financial situation. And on the money she had to borrow to pay her taxes and is helping to repay despite her small pension.
She made a whole generation of children dance and sing. Chantal Goya established herself in the 1970s as a leading artist for performing nursery rhymes and other songs for children. A monster success which did not guarantee him incredible income, on the contrary. Last June, she revealed on C8, in the show At Jordan’swhich she only touched “600 and a few euros” retirement. At 82, Chantal Goya still works, plans to do so “until 110 years, until the end” and says she will rest “up there”. This Saturday October 5, guest again on C8, this time in the show Facing Hanounashe wanted to put an end to rumors of debt that have been circulating about her account since 2018. “I am one of the rare artists who borrowed money to pay my taxes. It doesn’t exist, eh! They usually go away. We see them leave and they never come back.”she wants to emphasize.
Chantal Goya never considered not paying her taxes in France
If she chose to pay what she owed to the French tax authorities, it is surely because it corresponds to her education, thinks Chantal Goya. “I borrowed money because it was like that in my head and it was important”she told Cyril Hanouna. The host was then convinced that the artist had finished repaying his loan. “No, not at all. But it doesn’t matter, we’ll continue”she explained. Chantal Goya can count on her husband since 1966, Jean-Jacques Debout, to organize a clear repayment plan.
Jean-Jacques Debout and Chantal Goya had to sell furniture to stay afloat
The two artists often had to tighten their belts, despite the glory. In 2022, Michel Drucker recounted in It starts today that the couple formed by Chantal Goya and Jean-Jacques Debout “lost as much if not more [d’argent qu’il n’en a gagné]. They have always been pursued, either by the tax authorities or from time to time Jean-Jacques because he has permit problems.” These complicated financial situations pushed Jean-Jacques Debout to sell his furniture, and sometimes to move. But the couple chose to view these changes philosophically and committed to paying what they owed.
