That was over a year ago. On January 19, 2022, Gaspard Ulliel died in a terrible skiing accident in Savoie. The 37-year-old French actor had collided with another skier. He was not wearing a helmet. Gaspard Ulliel left behind a little boy, Orso, fruit of his love with his ex-companion Gaëlle Pietri. A year after the tragedy, the former model published Le temps de te dire adieu, a moving book honoring the memory of the father of her child. Invited on the set of C à vous Wednesday, April 26, 2023, Gaëlle Pietri was invited to react to one of the quotes from her book: "The dead no longer have privacy Gaspard, that's one of the things I learned".

"They asked me to push me to take a picture of them with the grave"

In front of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, the former model evoked two stories to illustrate her point. For example, young girls have asked her to push herself when she was praying at the grave of her child's father. "Yes, it happens regularly. I was still last week at Père Lachaise (cemetery) with my son and we still had little anecdotes like that. They asked me to push myself to take a picture of them with the grave," Gaëlle Pietri explained before telling an anecdote experienced by Gaspard Ulliel's mother, while she was cleaning her son's grave.

"The mourning of a personality is a double penalty"

"It was also at Père Lachaise. The lady said, 'But I'm her biggest fan, who are you to clean the grave?' "I am his mother," said Gaspard Ulliel's ex-girlfriend. "We can laugh about it, because it sounds completely grotesque, but we are dealing with it also in mourning," she added.

"The mourning of a personality is a double penalty. It is said that in the face of death we need depopulation and we do not have the right to this depopulation when it comes to a well-known personality."

For Gaëlle Pietri, the "mourning of a personality is a double penalty". "That's what I tried to write in my book. It is said that in the face of death we need a depopulation and we do not have the right to this depopulation when it comes to a known personality, "concluded Gaëlle Pietri, visibly moved.
