“She’s not going to be happy”: here’s why Muriel Robin shouldn’t have cut ties with Pierre Palmade, according to Jean-Marie Bigard

She shouldn't have cut ties. According to Jean-Marie Bigard, Muriel Robin should “forgive” to Pierre Palmade and not to cease all collaboration with the comedian, tried this Wednesday for the terrible road accident which involved him in February 2023, while he was driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

“The benefits of forgiveness”

“The two plays that she co-wrote with Pierre, which were two sublime hits at the theater, she refuses to allow them to be performed so that Pierre does not receive royalties, recalled Jean-Marie Bigard in the show Facing Hanouna this Sunday, November 17. It's still quite severe because it was the only way for him to survive from a financial point of view. I don't think it's very sporty. Not to mention the benefits of forgiveness.”

“I want to tell him: 'Go ahead, try forgiveness, it feels really good. Let these two plays play out. You are taking an initiative because you declared these pieces co-written,' he continued. For my part – I know that Muriel is not going to be happy – the real pen, the most important, is Pierre's. We must not forget that it is indeed Pierre Palmade who reveals Muriel Robin. If Muriel Robin is all alone with a blank sheet of paper, she does not write down everything she has written. There’s someone else who holds the pen and holds it well.”

What Muriel Robin said to Midi Libre

As a reminder, Muriel Robin announced in Free Midday having ended all professional collaboration with Pierre Palmade and henceforth refusing covers of works they created together.

“Ending our collaboration”: Muriel Robin explains how she has just severed her professional ties with Pierre Palmade

“Sometimes amateur companies ask us if they can play our shows, she explained in our columns. We are talking about two requests per year, from companies that play in front of rooms of 100 people. In terms of money, I don't even talk about it, it's nothing. Even if it's not nothing of course for someone who has zero. But it reached my ears that people were saying that I was causing him to lose 5,000 euros per month. My God, if he won that much, he could have told me, because I would have liked to win them too!, she comments with a touch of humor, It's not going to turn his life upside down, but It allowed me to end our collaboration for the future.”

As for the television broadcast of their joint works, Muriel Robin believed that it was she “who interprets and brings the game”.

“It’s not what we put on paper, it’s what I did with it, with my game, which still has weight, explained the actress. If I had played it differently, it might not have had the same success. It was me who embodied them and brought them to life. So I have the impression that it “belongs” to me a little more than to him. I still asked myself the question, but I don't want to deprive people of that. And this reasoning seems to me to hold water. Until one morning, I got up and told myself that I was stopping everything. But this is not the case. From there to giving our texts to others, no, I don't do business with that.”
