The ex-companion of former Miss France Iris Mittenaere, Bruno Pelat, was on trial for domestic violence at the Paris court. The beauty queen was the victim of this violence for 3 months. The trial was held behind closed doors.
From Iris Mittenaere, the general public knows her journey to Miss France and Miss Universe, “Ninja Warrior” which she co-presents or her work as an influencer. However, Iris Mittenaere showed a completely different face on Tuesday at the Paris court. Face closed, head down, surrounded by her mother and her little sister. The 31-year-old young woman appeared as a victim of domestic violence.

Iris Mittenaere filed a complaint against him at the end of September. Bruno Pelat is accused of having used violence against the former Miss France between June 12 and September 24. Beatings, head banged against walls, pulled by the arm. He is also accused of having threatened to “blow up her contracts” and of having called her a “cunt”, “big shit”, “crazy”, “stupid” or a “big shit”.
Iris Mittenaere's lawyer wanted a closed-door trial, explaining that “very personal facts would be discussed”. Bruno Pelat's defender wanted “the truth to come out” by citing a “fundamental” piece to be produced in court: an audio from another ex-companion of Iris Mittenaere, Diego El Glaoui, in which “he accuses Iris of wrongly accusing him of domestic violence”, according to the report of TV Mag.
“A problem of impulsivity”
The president of the court accepted the closed session and the trial was held far from microphones, cameras and the public who had to leave the courtroom. The sanction requested against Bruno Pelat is not known. The young man had already been sentenced in June 2022 for violence and death threats against his father, then in April 2023 for violence against another partner. Faced with justice, Bruno Pelat recognized a “problem of impulsivity” and described “being afraid of abandonment”. “I don’t know my mother,” he said.
Iris Mittenaere appeared with two splints on her left hand during the Etam Live Show fashion show on September 27.
