Three days after the terrible car accident caused by Pierre Palmade, his friend François Rollin answered questions from our colleagues from BFMTV.

Monday, February 13, the director thus returned to the comedian's addiction to cocaine, assuring that he had tried several times to get out of it, without success.

Pierre Palmade was overtaken by his demons on Friday February 10.

Around 6:45 p.m., the comedian, who was then under the influence of cocaine, caused a serious car accident on departmental road 372 in Villiers-en-Bière, in Seine-et-Marne.

His car hit another vehicle coming in front of him, with three people on board, including a pregnant woman who lost her baby and a 6-year-old boy, still in serious condition.

"I have no anger against Pierre Palmade"

Pierre Palmade could face up to ten years in prison.

At the heart of this case is therefore the terrible and long history of addiction of the 54-year-old actor.

Invited on the BFMTV set on Monday February 13, François Rollin, the director and friend of Pierre Palmade, confided in the actor's fight against his addictions.

"I told him several times to get out of there, Pierre. He said 'yes' to me, I even saw him wanting to get out of it", he testifies.

"But he missed", continues François Rollin who says he is not in "

“He committed a serious fault”

"I can only give him my love and hope that people whose job it is will accompany him and help him. But it doesn't always work and sometimes it goes horribly wrong", deplores the director who denies defend his friend after the car accident he caused.

“I am told that I am coming to defend my friend Pierre Palmade. No, I do not have to defend Pierre, he has committed a serious fault. I trust the justice of this country to inflict on him the sanction he deserves. No more, no less", insists François Rollin.
