I thought she was going to recover: Chantal Ladesou devastated after the death of Isabelle Mergault, her heartbreaking revelations

The disappearance of Isabelle Mergault has caused a shockwave in the world of entertainment. Known for her sharp humor and unique personality, the comedian leaves behind many deeply touched friends. Among them, Chantal Ladesou, who did not hide her emotions while speaking to Bel RTL. Very close to the actress, the humorist admitted to having trouble coming to terms with the loss. A sudden loss, made even more difficult as she had seen her shortly before.

During the interview, Chantal Ladesou spoke with great sincerity about the last moments shared with Isabelle Mergault. “I can’t believe it, because we were close and she is gone, I saw her two days before, and I thought she was going to recover,” she confessed, still deeply emotional. She described a woman who, despite the illness, retained something intact: “she remained beautiful.” But behind this appearance, reality was harsher. “She was knocked out,” she added, describing a rapid decline. At the ‘Grosses Têtes’ studios, the iconic show in which both women participated, the news was particularly difficult to bear. “We did a special Grosses Têtes show and we all cried, it was terrible,” she recounted.

Behind the humor, a much more complex woman. Beyond the shock, Chantal Ladesou paid tribute to the unique personality of Isabelle Mergault. A woman she described as complex, far from the sometimes light-hearted image she projected on screen. “False lightness and lightness nonetheless, she was very, very funny,” she emphasized, before adding: “She was unique, she was not an easy girl, she was wild actually.” Behind the humor, there was also great depth. “We could talk for hours on the phone, laugh at the same time, talk about serious and light-hearted things and all,” she remembered fondly. “She was someone very very endearing.” While Isabelle Mergault seemed fulfilled in her work, “she was happy in the theater, she was happy on the radio,” she remained a woman with multiple facets, capable of navigating between gravity and lightness. Today, her absence leaves a huge void. “We are very very sad because she is still very present,” Chantal Ladesou concluded, as if to say that, despite everything, her memory will not disappear.
