Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut accuses Jacques Legros of low blows towards Jean-Pierre Pernaut
In 2022 on Europe 2, Nathalie Marquay-Pernaut reacted vehemently to her words: “Mr. Jacques Legros forgets that he was only his joker and he allows himself to complain that at that time, JP wanted to keep his hand on his newspaper! But who, for 30 years, set the tone of the 13 hours? (…) I am really sorry if it disrupted him not to have the subjects in advance, but JP, unlike Jacques Legros, worked with instinct, without promptr. (…) In addition, Jacques Legros made him strokes, if I may say so, excuse me. During the confinement, at start-up, Jean-Pierre must have been 15 minutes from antenna. And afterwards, Jacques Legros made more and more very very long subjects. In the end, he only had 6 minutes left by antenna. Frankly, it was not at all nice. (…) They weren’t friends but JP respected him a lot as a colleague and he often defended it from TF1“. The ex-Miss France had also tried to reach him to explain himself.”He didn’t even have the delicacy to answer me“, She deplored, before recognizing that she had not read Jacques Legros’ book.
