From the outset, the chef defended himself to have lied about his first name. “Giovanni”, he says, is the first name from birth that his mother had given him. “I have a middle name which is Jean-Claude, but my mother calls me John, my friends call me John, my children call me Giovanni, the tax is calling me Giovanni, my credit cards, it is Giovanni”, he says, while claiming to have “réofficialisé” his first name with the state civil canadian.

“Go complain”

With respect to the allegations of violent behavior and gestures of a sexual nature at his place, the head Apollo insists: “If I have done something reprehensible in the eyes of the law, of grace, go file a complaint. It will avoid to have doubts.”

If he admits to be “very prescriptive” in the kitchen, he admits he cannot understand the fear that some have expressed in her regard. “I have the impression of being a mafioso who scares people, lance-t-il. The grange Apollo, I’m in front of the world, I cook for the people, the people have confidence in me, I like it, I’m not hiding, I have not been myself vanish to nowhere.”

It also indicates that, in his opinion, some of the anonymous witnesses collected in the framework of the reports about her are the result of pressure from people who want him.

“In my opinion, these people [who testified] were fired by people with whom I have a legal conflict at this time, ahead of-t-he. For money matters, the bassesses human can go very far.”

He admits to having “embellished” the facts

According to the report, the head of Apollo would have lied about several aspects of his past, starting with his place of birth and his chef training with the brothers Troisgros, of the luminaries in the field. He has not denied he had “embellished” some parts of his past overseas and admits to having learned since public revelations about it.

“Even if I took a slap in the face, and God knows she has done wrong, I realized that being yourself is always what pays the best”, reason there.

“I left it to run a lot of things and, yes, there are things that I have embellished because I thought it was more glamorous. This is not with a history that produces a flat. I see it now, with the benefit of hindsight. At the beginning, I wanted to make love, but I realize that what I want is to love people.”

It persists and signs

Giovanni Apollo continues to defend to have deceived several people who are associated with him in the course of his career in business, including contractor Tony Accurso and his first partner, Maurice, Angers. About the latter, which claims to have lost $ 150,000 into the adventure and still have fear of leadership today, Giovanni Apollo admits that he does not understand.

“I don’t know where it comes from”, let-t-he fall.

In the story, Mr. Angers and his brother say that Giovanni Apollo was violent to their place and that the business relationship ended so rough.

“What is strange, is that I recroisés the two and I’ve never had echo on it.”

Giovanni Apollo still holds a restaurant, the grange Apollo, but is no longer present on the small screens of Quebec. Would he return one day? “This is not the goal. This is not why I am here. I am here to stand up, to tell you that I understood.”
