November 6 was an important day for Iris Mittenaere. This is the one where she will be able, perhaps, to begin repairs. Her trial against Bruno Pelat, her ex-partner whom she accuses of violence, has in fact begun. As a reminder, she and the son of the real estate developer and founder of the Euroequipments group Olivier Pelat had started a romantic relationship some time earlier. But the ex-beauty queen appeared with braces on her hands at the Etam Show last September, marks of (very) recent physical violence by him towards her.
The violence apparently took place the same day. Miss France 2026 immediately filed a complaint and the 22-year-old young man was to be tried in immediate appearance. But the hearing was ultimately postponed. Iris Mittenaere did not in fact feel “psychologically ready” to attend.
Diego El Glaoui present despite himself at the trial
It was therefore at the beginning of November that the exes confronted their versions. How to defend a man accused of violence? How can such acts be justified? Me d'Ollone, the lawyer for Lilianne Bettancourt's godson, has, it seems, found the solution. During the trial, he plans to release an audio from Diego El Glaoui, the miss's ex with whom she stayed from 2019 to 2023.
Iris Mittenaere and Diego El Glaoui are no longer together, but they are still linked. Indeed, professionally, they are associated. In fact, they always match. In an audio sent to his Iris, Diego criticizes her for “falsely accuse him of domestic violence. » An “argument” from which the heir’s lawyer intends to take advantage.
Iris Mittenaere also prepares her defense
As summarized by TV Mag du Figaro, the defense therefore intends to rely on what it will try to pass off as a “recurrent method” among Camille Cerf's friend. Will this strategy pay off? And above all, credible?
The hearing takes place behind closed doors. The thirty-year-old's lawyer, Maître Brueziere, indeed requested this so that “ speech is as free as possible ». In this ordeal, the beauty queen can in any case count on the support of her family. Photos taken at the courthouse show her accompanied by her sister Manon and her mother, Laurence.
