She states that false rumors are also circulating about an alleged visit to Quebec. She also wanted to remedy the situation in this direction.
Her position as President of the Maman Dion Foundation makes her more accessible than her other siblings. “They know exactly where to meet me,” she says.
Claudette Dion recently gave an interview to Hello! magazine. and Marie-Louise Arsenault wanted to know if she had been paid for it: “No, never,” she replied immediately.
The “In the Media” host also asked Claudette Dion if her comments had ever bothered Céline Dion’s team or the singer herself. She clarifies that no. “I’m always careful not to give away information that I don’t have,” she says.
