Nathalie Marquay: “He did not die of cancer”
Nathalie Marquay also addressed the circumstances surrounding the death of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, emphasizing that doctors were perplexed and were groping to find solutions. Near Gala, she said she was “skeptical about the real causes of his death”. “I wanted to reestablish the truth a little to declare that he did not die of cancer, but of something else”, assured the former beauty queen. After a vacation in January 2022, where the results of a pet scan were encouraging, Jean-Pierre Pernaut had to be hospitalized due to heart problems. His widow then expressed doubts about the correlation between vaccination against Covid-19 and radiotherapy, noting that after the third dose, Jean-Pierre Pernaut suffered several strokes. “The thirteenth was fatal to him”, she lamented. Furthermore, the former columnist of Do not touch My TV confided in the possibility of starting a new life with another man. Categorically, she declared that this is absolutely not in her plans: “I still feel like I’m married to him. Besides, I’m not interested.” Nathalie Marquay thus remains faithful to her past relationship and does not wish to consider a new romance.
