Renowned for his frankness, Olivier Delacroix had previously commented on the Pierre Palmade affair last spring on Sud Radio. He spoke about the reactions on social networks following the comedian’s stroke: “This morning, Pierre Palmade had a stroke, and that’s it, there is a whole part of the Web, these public gutters that are Twitter, which are crying conspiracy. We would like to see Pierre Palmade, the success, a guy who had money, who was in the spotlight, many enjoy seeing him fall, but we still want to crush his face“. He had described this company as “hysterical” and expressed his desire to protect himself from it: “But really”he emphasized, recalling his role as a journalist in transmitting information as close as possible to the truth.

On March 1, during his appearance on BFM, Olivier Delacroix once again addressed the Palmade affair, which always sparked discussions, in particular about the comedian’s close entourage who remained discreet in the media. He expressed his dismay at the public reaction: “Many rejoiced, some even wondered if he had the courage to commit suicide on a television set. There’s an indecency around all that, that’s what made me get a little out of my control.” He continued by emphasizing that Pierre Palmade was a powerful figure who provoked specific reactions, especially since he is gay: “It is the mighty who falls; Don’t forget that Pierre Palmade is gay.“Olivier Delacroix had mentioned the presence of homophobia among critics:”Obviously, there is something of this order, we can only see it, and it scares me. The hysteria of this society where ultimately the rules of democracy and the game of social networks allow everyone to give their opinion“, he emphasized.

Olivier Delacroix returns to his huge rant about the treatment of the Pierre Palmade Affair
“If you knew the number of text messages I received thanking me: ‘Finally, a little humanity in this treatment’. I don’t remember that there were a lot of people saying that’s it, that’s it. I’m not saying that we should abstain but we dealt with a dramatic news item obviously with a celebrity… Was it necessary for that to be the editorial line in particular of a channel for almost 10 days?“, asks the journalist from Europe 1. Before continuing: “there is dignity to be had in our profession; When you work as a journalist, you’re not there to inform people. While Pierre Palmade hit this car and killed a baby, there were people who continued to take boats to cross the Mediterranean, there was the war in Ukraine, there were still a whole bunch of things happening. The world didn’t stop turning the day Pierre Palmade did the stupid thing of his life“, he says. “There I wanted to say at one point stop, it’s a way of stupidizing people to harp on all the time and then I’ll tell you what bothered me it was all of a sudden, a powerful guy, a guy who had success, money, he was (down) and what did I want to say: ‘Stop wiping your pomp on this guy’“, he concluded.
