French President’s Ex Gets Even

If Frech President François Hollande hoped Valérie Trierweiler “would keep her counsel—and spare his blushes—after the end of their relationship, he was very wrong,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Revenge for Trierweiler, who is 49, has come in the form of a tell-all memoir, Thank You for This Moment, a scorching attack on her former lover that fast became a bestseller in France (the book has reportedly netted her between 1.3 and 1.7 million euros) and is now available in English. We picked through the book, extracting all the juicy and interesting stuff—and passing by the less interesting French political intrigue—for your enjoyment.”
