Pierre Palmade, “ruined”: this large sum of money that he must pay
The ex-husband of Véronique Sanson has been completely free since February 27, the day he had the electronic bracelet he had worn since April 2025 removed. Passers-by who encounter the former actor in the city are practically unanimous: “He looks absent and embarrassed“, according to statements to Parisian. “It’s obvious that he’s not at peace in his head.“, said a shopkeeper who came across him on several occasions. “One day he couldn’t find his money. He thought he had left his wallet in a nearby store. But in fact it was in his pocket“, she said.
Besides, Muriel Robin’s former friend would simply be “ruin” and would have serious financial difficulties. Consumed by guilt, he confided to a customer at the hard discount supermarket Aldi, where he was shopping: “I can never pay my debt“. And for anyone to specify: “In his head he’s guilty forever“. According to France Sundaythe actor owes around 250,000 euros to Urssaf, the Tax Office, his producer and the victims of the accident he caused, whom he must compensate with 3,000 euros per person.
Pierre Palmade: “He obviously needs money…”
After selling his property in Cély-en-Bière (place of debauchery where he practiced chemsex, editor’s note), for around 1.36 million euros, Pierre Palmade moved into a house “typically Bordeaux”, which has a garden and a terrace not overlooked to remain as discreet as possible, close to his sister and his mother. Moreover, the comedian does not often leave his home and few visitors come to his home. “There’s no noise, it’s like there’s no one there“, noted at Parisian a woman who usually passes by on the street where he lives.
“If he goes back on stage, he’ll get knocked out. So he will probably write things for others, under a pseudonym, because he obviously needs the money.“, indicated another Bordeaux resident. According to BFMTV, his play The Runaways, which he co-wrote with Christophe Duturon, will be performed for the first time since 2007, at the Théâtre Libre in Paris, with Chantal Ladesou and Isabelle Mergault in the main roles. He could also publish an autobiography.
