The Pierre Palmade affair continues to make ink flow. Guest of Jordan de Luxe on the set of his show At Jordan’s this Tuesday, June 20, 2023, Fabrice, a famous animator now 81 years old, returned to the terrible accident caused by the comedian on a departmental road in Seine-et-Marne last February while he was under the influence of cocaine. A drama that seems to have made “a huge pain” to the former radio and television man. “Of course I’m going to say like everyone else, but what pains me is what happened to the people who were opposite (a pregnant woman, a 6-year-old child and a father , editor’s note) it’s obvious. But it also pains me to see such an exceptional talent go to waste like that”, he confided. For Fabrice, who knew Muriel Robin’s sidekick well, “It’s a suicidal attitude”.“He’s a smart guy, he’s certainly very aware of this descent into hell,” he assures.

If François Simon-Bessy, of his real name, has indeed participated in the rise of Pierre Palmade, it has been years since he has had any contact with his protege. “I saw him very rarely”affirms the one who has long animated The Class on France 3. He would never have suspected the addictions of the long-time friend of Michèle Laroque.
“He didn’t look like an alcoholic at all, I didn’t know. But that said, I never saw anything. Maybe the people around me knew, it’s quite possible “, continued Fabrice before addressing a few words to Pierre Palmade. If he had any advice for her, he would say: “in the second part of your life, after this horror, try to rebuild yourself. I don’t think he could get back on stage, it seems difficult to me, but I would tell him to write for others under another name”. Wise advice.
