On February 10, 2023, Pierre Palmade was driving his car when he caused a terrible tragedy. The events took place in Seine-et-Marne and the comedian moved into the left lane, colliding head-on with another vehicle. He seriously injured a pregnant woman, who subsequently lost her baby, a man and his six-year-old son. Muriel Robin quickly spoke, saying she had a thought for the victims of this tragedy, thus highlighting the fact that she is angry with her long-time friend. This Sunday, November 17, Jean-Marie Bigard gave a very cash opinion concerning her, recalling that she refuses to allow the two pieces co-written with Pierre Palmade to be performed.
Muriel Robin does not want the comedian to receive royalties. Enough to make Cyril Hanouna's columnists react this Monday, November 18. “Friendship means you normally follow through to the end unless something crazy happens. This is a big crazy thing, except that I'm thinking about family now.” began Raymond Aabou. For him, Muriel Robin's attitude is “very limited” towards Pierre Palmade who could have used this money to compensate the family victims of this accident. He notably mentioned his own friends, declaring that he would be there for them, except in extreme cases.
Muriel Robin: a highly criticized decision
On the set of the show, tongues are loosened.
Kelly Vedovelli says she understands Muriel Robin's decision, asking: “And don’t you think that’s crazy?” . Enough to make Raymond Aabou react, who takes up the comments made by Jean-Marie Bigard the day before. “I prefer that we take Pierre Palmade's money and give it to the family. Muriel must let him do this because he is not solvent.” he declared. If these two plays were performed again, Pierre Palmade would receive royalties but this is an idea that Muriel Robin refuses. Enough to provoke Raymond Aabou's incomprehension.
Should Muriel Robin have made a completely different decision? “Friendship, for me there is nothing above it. It is the most accomplished form of human relationship”, began Thomas Guénolé before adding: “In this case, whatever horrors happen, that happened to your friend, you disapprove, you stay and you help. For me, that’s friendship!“. Same story from Jean-Michel Maire who specifies that Muriel Robin wanted to give up on Pierre Palmade. “She was so afraid of being splashed by the scandal that she wanted to make a ton of it to show that Palmade was Palmade and she was Robin. She pushed him as far away as possible.” he concluded.
Jean-Marie Bigard: “I’m going to load it up a little”
The day before, it was Jean-Marie Bigard who made some very notable remarks. He started by saying that he was going to openly attack Muriel Robin. “
I’m going to charge it a little” , he warned, then returning to the facts. “The two pieces she co-wrote with Pierre, They love each other et They love each other againwhich were two sublime hits at the theater, she refuses to allow them to be performed so that Pierre does not receive royalties”, he declared. Still according to the words of Jean-Marie Bigard, the comedian should perhaps try to forgive his friend. “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 co-written pieces,”
he continued.
