Pierre Palmade affair: “If I give up, it's because I have reasons to give up”, Muriel Robin explains why she cut ties with the actor sentenced to 5 years in prison

This Friday evening, Muriel Robin was a guest on the show C à Vous on France 5. Faced with Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, the actress starring in the successful series Master Crimes on TF1 inevitably returned to the judgment of Pierre Palmade. This week, the comedian who caused a serious car accident on February 10, 2023 on a road in Seine-et-Marne under the influence of drugs, received a sentence of 5 years in prison, including two prison sentences.

“For thirty years, I was at his side”

“It's not because Pierre Palmade caused an accident that I ended our friendship because you obviously don't let go of a friend and Pierre I never let go of him, for thirty years, I been by his side”supported Muriel Robin to justify her position vis-à-vis Palmade. She who was the target of strong criticism (from Jean-Marie Bigard and Pascal Praud, in particular) after moving away from her friend.

“I had put myself on my shoulders […]on the heart rather, 'basically you can do, do to me what you want, I will always be there, I will always love you'. I wanted to give him this somewhat absolute love. For what ? I don't know. The one I wanted to be given. But in the context of the accident, I heard and saw things unacceptable to me and that justifies my position today. I'm not a quitter. Not that it flashes on me but you can tell that I'm quite square and that I don't want to leave, I'll rather be the last. If I let go, it’s because I have reasons to let go.”.
