For this March 4, 2023, Matthieu Delormeau’s birthday, the set of TPMP People was well stocked. Having become rare on television, Vincent Perrot, leading host of the 1990s, spoke at length with the presenter about his television years, his new life and… the Palmade affair. Exclusively for the show, Vincent Perrot spoke for the very first on this tragedy caused by his longtime friend. A strong and dignified testimony: “This case is an absolute tragedy. I can’t stop thinking about this pregnant woman, I can’t stop thinking about this little boy, I can’t stop thinking about his daddy and I can’t stop thinking to Pierre who made there, the biggest bullshit of his life! And I think he’ll pay for it long, forever.“As part of this court case with twists and turns in the media, and the future imprisonment of the comedian in Fresnes, in Val-de-Marne, another testimony was expected. That of a famous prisoner, Pierre Botton. This ex-businessman, and ex-son-in-law of the politician Michel Noir, had hit the headlines in the 1990s for his abuse of social assets which had led him to prison. Incarcerated for almost two years in the VIP quarter, he recounted his daily life, his isolation and, above all what interested the debate, the spread of drugs in prison.

“If you have money, you have everything”
The presenter of C8 thus launches the subject: “There are more drugs circulating in prison than in all the parties, raves and nightclubs in Paris…” His interlocutor intervenes: “So I don’t go to Parisian parties but I was in prison and it’s just maddening! It’s just maddening! For the anecdote, in the summer you have to open because it is very hot, the smell of drugs coming up from the windows next door, because I was on the top floor, was such that I felt high.” What a columnist bounces back to: “Yes, but it was cannabis, not synthetic drugs?” And to answer calmly: “There is everything you want, madam”.
Taking the example of Marco Mouly, who is never stingy with confidences about his suspicious past, Matthieu Delormeau declares that the latter could have brought into his cell a sound system, dishes from a caterer, a large TV … and deduce: “if you have money, you have everything”. Embarrassed, Pierre Botton replies: “I will always be on the side of an inmate, well it depends on what he has done, Marco has moved on to something else, and it’s not mean what I’m saying, he’s putting on a show, he’s telling what who serves him but it is not at all the truth.”, hardly underlining the possible mythomania of the “scam king”, as the title of his book defined it. In any case, if these revelations are true, the observation is indeed “maddening”.
