"Was it from the grip?"

"It may be due to him, but perhaps also to me, I reproduced the pattern of dependence that linked me to my mother," says the journalist to

magazine

. I was with him in the fear of disagreement and the fear of displeasing him. So, was it sway, I don't know, but in any case, submission and acceptance. She completes in

, the former star of TF1 chose to tell "only his feelings": "I do not feel authorized to speak of acts which are not of my doing".

She insists on two things: “Contrary to everything that has been said, I did not want to go to the Elysee Palace, neither did he really want elsewhere, it was a series of circumstances.

Second, I want people to understand that I didn't know anything about my husband's behavior.

I know it's very difficult to admit, I admit that myself, if someone told me that, I wouldn't believe it, but yet it's true ”.

The Lille Carlton affair opens his eyes

At the time Dominique Strauss-Kahn exercised "a very strong power of persuasion", until the Carlton Lille affair opened her eyes, she explains to

Elle

.

"When she sees the abject SMS of DSK claiming" material ", the crevasse between them becomes abyss," reports

.

On May 14, 2011, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then head of the IMF and favorite for the 2012 presidential election, was arrested and then jailed after charges of attempted rape by a maid at the Sofitel, where he had spent the night.

If this affair ultimately ended in a confidential financial transaction, it cost DSK his political career, later implicated in the Carlton Lille sex scandal.
