The Pierre Palmade affair had the merit of shaking the media. On February 10, 2023, the ex-husband of Véronique Sanson caused a terrible road accident in Seine-et-Marne while driving under the influence of illicit products. As a reminder, his vehicle violently hit another car which was coming from the front. In addition to the star, a pregnant woman who unfortunately lost her baby, the driver who was at her side and her son were seriously injured.
“The idea of having destroyed the life of this family devastates him, she adds. He prays, and we with him, so that [les victimes] come out with the least possible after-effects. He prays. He really prays. He only thinks of them. He will assume all the consequences of his actions with the terrible awareness that he will never be able to repair the harm he has done. Hélène Palmade, the actor’s sister, told AFP last February. “As vain as it may seem, Peter asks their forgiveness from the depths of his soul”.
Apologies that only fueled the anger of the families of the victims. “They are insensitive to it, especially since Mr. Palmade does not have the excuse of the carelessness of youth and therefore in this sense, they will be extremely attentive to the judicial response that will be provided”replied their lawyer Me Mourad Battikh. “We are not at all at the stage of forgiveness but that the family is asking for justice to be done”.

We take our time in the face of the acceleration of the news”, analyzed the famous journalist.
And to add: “When the prosecutor opened an investigation for suspicion of pedocrime (February 19 for possession of child pornography images by Pierre Palmade, editor’s note), we decided not to mention it […] and wait a few days. A wise choice in his eyes: “This legal action had only been initiated on the basis of a single denunciation, that seemed too tenuous to us”.
In addition, no compromising file on Pierre Palmade was found by the police. “Besides, the investigators have not found anything at this stage”, added Anne-Claire Coudray before concluding: “I believe that the people skids around this accident have no place in our news”. It is said !
