“I saw unacceptable things”: Muriel Robin confides in the end of her friendship with Pierre Palmade

In February 2023, Pierre Palmade hit another car in Seine-et-Marne, while he was under the influence of madness. This accident left three seriously injured, including a pregnant woman, including the victim, Mila, who lost her baby following the dramatic accident. The trial of Pierre Palmade took place this Wednesday, November 20 at the Melun criminal court. The comedian was sentenced to five years in prison, two of which were closed.

Since the affair broke out, the reactions have been one after the other… While some people supported Pierre Palmade, others preferred to distance themselves from him. This is the case of Muriel Robin, who distanced herself and even decided to meet the victims of the accident. At the time, she was notably violently criticized for having “let go” of a friend. Invited on the set of “C à vous”, this Friday, November 22, 2024, Anne Le Nen’s companion returned to the subject and did not mince her words.

“For 30 years, I was by his side”

The actress now explains why she decided to distance herself from her friend: “It is not because Pierre Palmade caused an accident that I ended our friendship,” she declared. And to continue: “You obviously don’t let go of a friend, and Pierre, I never let go of him. For 30 years, I was by his side. […] I had even put it on my shoulders, or on my heart rather, that basically, 'you can do whatever you want to me, I will always be there, I will always love you'. I wanted to give him this absolute love,” she confided. But things changed following this tragedy: “In the context of the accident, I heard and saw things unacceptable to me, and that justifies my position today.”
