The comedian was the victim of an extortion attempt by a young man who filmed him in an intimate situation.
Sometimes love stories end badly and open the way to behaviors to be avoided such as revenge-porn. But there are also intimate situations outside of a romantic relationship that lead to extortion attempts. This is particularly the case of attempts at sextape blackmail, capable in some cases of ruining the reputation and the life of the victim of these misdeeds.
A bitter experience which Pierre Palmade almost suffered recently. Indeed, a 28-year-old escort-boy tried to extort money from the comedian after filming him in an intimate situation. After the two men spent a night of fun in September 2022, the actor lived through several weeks of ordeal. The young man, who had footage filmed without the knowledge of Pierre Palmade, tried to extort the artist by threatening to release his sextape in broad daylight. The one who starred in the movie The Comic did not hesitate to contact the police to expose the situation of which he was the victim.

Blackmailer arrested
A good reflex on the part of Pierre Palmade who sees the situation improving after difficult months. Indeed, according to our colleagues from Parisian, his blackmailer has just been arrested by the Paris police. This 28-year-old escort boy was presented this Wednesday, January 18, 2023 before the Paris court before being tried in April for blackmail. The latter admitted part of the charges against him. The blackmailer of Pierre Palmade tried to extort the sum of 4000 euros from the actor in exchange for the removal of a compromising video.
The escort boy has indeed threatened to share this intimate video featuring Pierre Palmade at his home to all of his repertoire. An act which would have had the consequence of violating the intimacy and strongly tarnishing the reputation of the actor. Still according to our colleagues from Parisian, the crow would not have acted alone in this affair since Véronique Sanson, the ex-wife of Pierre Palmade, was also contacted by another man visibly aware of the events. The actress immediately alerted her ex-husband who held firm and did not give in to blackmail. Finally, three men would be involved in this case, including one who is currently in prison. If the blackmailer, who shot images of Pierre Palmade without his knowledge, will be tried for blackmail, the police have not been able to rule on the role of the two other men involved. Were they accomplices or did they try to help the comedian?
