In 2011, Jean Claude Joly participated in the sixth season of Love is in the meadow on M6. The candidate then quickly became essential for his clumsy side but also for his humor and his comic acts. Unfortunately, he will no longer have the opportunity to make people laugh. Sunday June 26, 2022, our colleagues from Courier Cauchois reported that the dairy farmer in Normandy had died aged 53. It would have been found hanged in the stable of his farm on the night of Friday 24 to Saturday 25 June.
For the time being, no information has come to explain this gesture on the part of the farmer. We can nevertheless remember that the difficulty of this environment and that of exercising one’s profession have already caused too many suicides in recent years. The figures have never been so alarming since there is more than one operator suicide per day in France.
In any case, Jean-Claude leaves behind him his companion Maud, whom he had met during their participation in the M6 show and their daughter Charlotte, born in September 2014. He had been living with the one who was his suitor for more than ten years. At the time, after the show, Maud had quickly moved in with her companion in the village of La Frenaye, near Lillebonne where he ran his business. She was already the mother of three children. During the assessment filmed in 2012, Jean-Claude made his engagement request to Maud who had of course said “yes”.
They formed the last news still a couple, despite the conviction for domestic violence which Jean-Claude received in 2016. He had been accused by Maud of having “kicked, shoved her causing her to fall“, explained Paris-normandie.fr. The farmer was also being prosecuted for “having assaulted the 15-year-old son of his partner, grabbing him strongly by the wrist“. If he received sixty-day fine of five euros“, Jean-Claude had always denied the facts.”There was an argument but I didn’t type it. Arguing and being violent is different“, he had defended himself, assuring that Maud “regretted“for filing a complaint against him.
