Iris Mittenaere's ex-companion was convicted of assaulting her. The one who attended Miss France and Miss Universe in 2016 was sentenced to one year in prison, including six months suspended for domestic violence on the night of Wednesday to Thursday.
Bruno Pelat, 22, was on trial by the Paris criminal court for having hit his then partner on the evening of September 25, as well as for banging her head against a wall and threatening to make him lose his professional contracts. His prison sentence will be served at home under an electronic bracelet with an obligation to provide care and a ban on contacting Iris Mittenaere and going near her home.
A hearing postponed at the request of the victim
The 31-year-old ex-miss arrived very emotional in the courtroom and her lawyer had obtained from the court that the proceedings take place behind closed doors to preserve her client's privacy. Bruno Pelat should have been tried immediately on September 27 at the end of his police custody but the hearing was postponed at the request of Iris Mittenaere, who claimed not to be “psychologically capable” of coming.
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. Iris Mittenaere, former Miss Nord-Pas-de-Calais 2015, was crowned Miss France 2016 then Miss Universe the same year. She is now an influencer and television host.
