A sharp opinion
The journalist explains to our colleague TV 2 Weeks, that she and Pierre Palmade are very close. She explains having often interviewed him, and declares: “Pierre remains in my heart. I cannot turn my back on him. When you’re friends, you stay friends. It’s a complicated position.” This position may surprise some because, as a reminder, the comedian caused a dramatic road accident on Friday February 10, 2023. While he was under the influence of drugs, he seriously injured three people, including one pregnant woman who lost her child. Muriel Robin was a close friend of Pierre Palmade for 35 years. But unlike Mireille Dumas, the latter insisted on ending this friendship after the tragedy. In an interview given to RTL Friday September 1, 2023, she explained: “Regarding Pierre Palmade, all I have to say is that: one, I know and two, I have seen and heard things that are not in his favor. That’s why I don’t am never expressed and that I will not express myself. But I could say I’m not her friend anymore.” Our colleagues wanted to know if the 68-year-old woman experienced the end of this relationship as mourning. “Yes, but I said I wasn’t her friend anymore.”she replied, before concluding: “I don’t know if he was mine. Always, for 35 years, every time I asked myself the question, I didn’t have much of an answer. But I know that I was his friend, that, I know it and I proved it. And I proved it until the day of the accident.”
