The heir to the hairdresser to the stars Benjamin Dessange, 57, died while he was to be tried after an employee’s complaint for malicious telephone calls, intentional violence and sexual harassment. He was the youngest son of the world-famous French hairdresser Jacques Dessange, who died in 2020.
The information of his disappearance, transmitted to AFP by a source close to the matter, was confirmed Thursday by the Dessange International group.
“The death occurred the day before yesterday, on November 5,” said the group, which made it clear that Benjamin Dessange “had left the company in 2018 and was no longer part of it, either as a shareholder or as an employee” .
Dessange International made no further comment.
A former employee of the Dessange group, Annabel Talon, filed a complaint against the heir of the hairdresser to the stars, in 2014, then in 2015.
She accused him of malicious phone calls, intentional violence and sexual harassment, saying that from 2011, the man who became president of Dessange International had adopted “an inappropriate attitude” towards her. And this for two years, until she left the group as part of a conventional breakup.
