French First Lady 'Trashed Husband's Office'

[icyfroth]

France's scorned first lady has reportedly trashed her cheating partner's office in a fit of rage causing an estimated $4m of damage.

Valerie Trierweiler destroyed artifacts including a Louis XVI vase in President Francois Hollande's Elysee Palace workplace after her partner had an affair with an actress, Economie Matinreports.

Mr Hollande and Trierweiler are together studying a "clarification" of their relationship, Trierweiler's lawyer told the newspaper Le Figaro.

Trierweiler remains holed up in a presidential residence in Versailles outside Paris after Saturday leaving hospital where she was treated for a bout of "tiredness" brought on by press revelations of Hollande's affair with a French actress, Julie Gayet, 41.

Speculation is rife in Paris and elsewhere that Hollande, 59, might be poised to dump Trierweiler, 48, his longterm partner who was with him when he became president in 2012.

The president promised in a mid-January news conference that he would publicly define what relationship, if any, he and Trierweiler had before going on a February 11 state visit to Washington.

There is no fury like a woman scorned.

I remember a few years ago, one night a whealthy socialite ordered a truck load of wet cement to be pourd into her husbands expensive sports car that was parked outside his mistresses home.

Serves the cheats right.

I could care less what politicians do in regards to their personal life, I would rather have the French PM than our's any day of the week.

Since coming to office, Ayrault and his ministers have introduced a raft of measures popular with the French electorate, including a reduction in the retirement age from 62 to 60 for some categories of workers, cuts in ministerial salaries of up to 30%, a rise in the minimum wage, the introduction of a 36-month rent freeze on new contracts in some urban areas, and extension of social rebates on energy.

If only the Mad Monk had done even one of the above................

I hate that saying. 

It puts it all the crazy on the women when the reality is the women are nowhere near as furious or dangerous as some men are when they've been scorned. 

What's the rate of spousal abuse and homicide commited by women compared to men?

Mind you some revenge is funny and the concrete example would be funny whether done by he or she  😄

Freakiness, I see what you mean. (My first husband was abusive and violent) Today I wish I have had the courage to retaliate. That's why I find it amusing when women hit back at men that use them and then discard them like a piece of garbage.

Yes, men get even more violent, to the verge of murder when scorned, but most women find inventive ways to pay back a cheating partner. I admire those women for their intestinal fortitude.

Yes, me too.  😄

My hostility wasn't directed at you in any way.  

I'm just so over the everyday sexism that so many people are in denial about. I keep hearing that we have equality and I thought we did for a while. However, over the past few years it has become apparent that sexism is prevalent now and some days that makes me mad    😄

The guy did the wrong thing.

but...they got together in the same circumstances (he cheated on his long term partner, the mother of his children, with the current first lady) so...she knew what he was like...and she is no better than the actress girlfriend in that regard.

They are not married, so her first lady status was always a thorn to the French, as she had five staff of her own and all official perks.

She destroyed art. She destroyed things that belonged not to him, or to them, but to the nation.

Is she entitled to feel disgruntled, humiliated, and upset? Sure.

But as first lady she also should behave with dignity. 

If she wanted to go home and burn his suits, that is between them. This is different.
