For the first time since the deadly tragedy in Crans-Montana, the son of Jacques Moretti and Jessica Moretti is speaking publicly — not about legal arguments, but about the human cost his family has endured.
“They call my parents monsters,” he said, describing the wave of hatred that followed the fire at Le Constellation.
While official investigations into the incident remain ongoing, public judgment arrived almost immediately. Online accusations, hostile messages, and relentless speculation have surrounded the Moretti family since the tragedy.
The son says his family has been condemned in the court of public opinion long before authorities have completed their work.
“People talk as if everything is already decided,” he said. “They don’t see the investigation. They see headlines.”
According to his account, the pressure intensified rapidly. Social media became a space of accusation rather than empathy. Strangers passed judgment on his parents’ character, motives, and responsibility, often without knowing the facts under review.
He described watching his parents retreat inward as the scrutiny grew.
“They’re not just being investigated,” he said. “They’re being erased as human beings.”
Authorities have emphasized that the investigation into the Crans-Montana fire is ongoing and that no final conclusions have been announced. Despite this, the son says his family has lived under the weight of assumed guilt.
He acknowledged the gravity of the tragedy and the suffering of victims and their families, stressing that those losses should never be minimized.
“But two things can be true at once,” he said. “There can be grief — and there can be restraint.”
The son explained that he chose to speak out not to influence the investigation, but to describe the emotional toll that unfolds outside official reports.
“People don’t see the nights without sleep,” he said. “They don’t see the fear.”
He said the label of “monsters” has been particularly painful.
“When you hear that enough times, it starts to follow you everywhere,” he said.
The family, he explained, is cooperating with authorities and waiting for the investigation to reach its conclusions. In the meantime, they are navigating a public narrative that has already passed judgment.
Legal experts note that high-profile tragedies often generate intense emotional reactions, especially when businesses and owners are involved. But they caution that investigations require time and evidence — not outrage.
The son said his message is simple: allow facts to come before verdicts.
“We’re living in the space between what happened and what’s proven,” he said. “That space matters.”
As the investigation continues, his statement adds a rarely heard perspective — not from officials or commentators, but from someone living inside the fallout.
Behind the headlines, the son says, there is a family under strain, waiting for answers and hoping that humanity is not lost along the way.
