After Donald Trump and Vladimir Poutine, it is the turn of Pierre Palmade to leave the Grévin museum.
The wax statue of the comedian was indeed removed from the Parisian museum on Monday February 20, learned
Le Figaro,
confirming information from Télé-Loisirs.
Involved in a terrible road accident - which left three seriously injured in the same family - while driving after consuming cocaine and synthetic drugs, and targeted by an investigation for possession of child pornography images , the comedian was no longer welcome for visitors to the wax museum.
“Out of respect for the broken family”
“Our visitors did not necessarily want to see Palmade on their journey, a fairly legitimate reaction in France”,
thus justified the director of the Grévin museum, Yves Delhommeau, with our colleagues from
Parisian
.
The statue of the comedian was thus
“turned over by a visitor and placed facing the wall”
last weekend, according to Yves Delhommeau.
The director of the wax museum affirms daily that this decision was taken collectively after a team discussion:
“The withdrawal was necessary out of respect for the family who was bruised, for this lady who lost her baby and these people seriously injured in hospital.

The statue of Pierre Palmade entered in 2021 alongside that of Muriel Robin.
This is only the third time in ten years that a statue has been removed from the museum.
The previous two were Donald Trump, in 2021, and Vladimir Putin in March last year, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
