Hallucinated, disgusted... Discovering the words written by
Jacques Legros
about
Jean-Pierre Pernaut
in his book
Behind the screen 40 years at the heart of the media
(to be published on October 5 by Éditions du Rocher), Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut was amazed.
Last Friday, our colleagues from
Télé-Loisirs
revealed extracts from this book where the TF1 journalist looks back on his 40-year career.
And if he underlines to be proud to have been the joker of the former presenter of the "13 Hours" without having had the slightest clash, Jacques Legros recounts a moment of annoyance that occurred during the first confinement, in 2020, while Jean -Pierre Pernaut shot his interventions from his home in Louveciennes in the Yvelines.

“We had installed an automatic mini-studio for him. But he wanted to keep the leading role and asked the team more than necessary
, wrote the 71-year-old journalist.
For my part, I never knew what he was going to talk about.
He was reluctant to share.
He wanted more and more to take control of the whole newspaper.
I was starting to boil inside, until one day I burst out, gathered my stuff, and headed back to the parking lot and my car.
Since he wanted to do the newspaper for me, let him come and do it!
“
I completely hallucinated
,” reacted
Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut
on Tuesday morning in “Le Morning sans filter” on Virgin Radio.
“Mr. Jacques Legros forgets that he was only his joker and he allows people to complain that at that time Jean-Pierre wanted to keep control of the content of the newspaper.
But who was it, for more than 30 years, who set the tone for “13 Heures”
?
Who was assigned the audience results?
I'm really sorry if it bothered him not to have the subjects in advance, but Jean-Pierre, unlike Jacques Legros, worked on instinct, without a teleprompter with his live rants appreciated by his audience.

“Fortunately Jean-Pierre is not there to answer him”
Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut
The wife of the man who died on March 2 from cancer was not content to deplore the writings of the TF1 journalist.
"Jacques Legros was giving him whore shots
," she continued.
During the confinement, he made subjects and, at the start, Jean-Pierre had to have fifteen minutes of antenna.
But Jacques Legros did very, very long subjects each time, which meant that, towards the end, he only had six minutes left on the air.
Frankly, it was not pleasant at all.

For Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut, her husband's former joker is trying to create a sensation to better sell his book.
"It looks like post-mortem jealousy
," she says.
What a lack of respect for our grieving family and for the viewers of the newspaper.

Fortunately that Jean-Pierre is not there to answer him.
