As Pierre Palmade’s trial opens on November 20, a friend of his made revelations about his state and his finances, on the set of “TPMP”.
Pierre Palmade will be tried this Thursday, November 20 by the Melun court for “unintentional injuries”. A trial which comes after the terrible road accident which he caused in February 2023 while he was driving under the influence of cocaine and other synthetic drugs.
Pierre Palmade “no longer under the influence of any drugs” ?
Since the 56-year-old actor is a repeat offender – he was already convicted in 2019 for driving under the influence of drugs – he risks 14 years in prison and a fine of 200,000 euros. A colossal sum that Pierre Palmade, according to those close to him, would not necessarily be able to pay since he has not had much income for a year; However, he would now sign texts under a pseudonym. Moreover, Paris Match revealed last year that he sold his house in Cély-en-Bière (for which he asked 1.3 million euros): “His house in Seine-et-Marne having finally been sold, he has regained, for the moment, financial flexibility.“
If the world of show business has turned its back on him, one diehard continues to defend him: Jean-Marie Bigard. “He is no longer under the influence of any drugs at all”said the comedian on Cyril Hanouna’s set on November 17. “He is no longer under the influence of any drugs at all, not even a drop of wine, nothing at all. Now, obviously, he is bruised until the end of his days and there is no an evening or a morning when he is not immersed in his responsibilities. I am with him, he is my friend so he will always be my friend.he added.
Pierre Palmade in need? This tackle on Muriel Robin
In the process, Jean-Marie Bigard pinned Muriel Robin who, according to him, had completely turned his back on his long-time friend. “Muriel Robin, I’m going to charge her a little bit but she prevents the two pieces she co-wrote with Pierre (They love each other and they loved each other, editor’s note) to be played so that Pierre does not receive royalties. It’s still quite severe because it was the only way for him to survive from a financial point of view. (…) I want to say to Muriel: from this point of view, go ahead, try forgiveness, it feels really good”he said. And Claude Fournier, producer of Pierre Palmade, added that the comedian was indeed “in need”.
The question of the actor’s lifestyle is also on everyone’s lips. Before his accident, Pierre Palmade was apparently riddled with debt, and owed money to taxes, to Urssaf but also to his producer. This is why he decided to sell his house located in the Paris region in favor of a more modest house not far from the Bordeaux University Hospital, the city where he is being treated and where one of his sisters lives.
