SAINT-DENIS DE LA REUNION: Francois Hollande’s spurned girlfriend turned poison pen has skipped France for the Indian Ocean isle of Madagascar, a day after dropping a bombshell with her best-selling kiss-and-tell about life with the president.
Airport sources in Madagascar said Valerie Trierweiler arrived in the capital Antananarivo yesterday morning, and was then to catch a domestic flight to points unknown.
It was unclear whether Trierweiler, a journalist, was visiting the French-speaking isle for business, humanitarian work or simply to avoid the blaze of public scrutiny her book has ignited. “Thank You For The Moment”, in which the glamorous 49-year-old dishes on her tempestuous relationship with Hollande including her pill-popping suicide attempt after discovering his adulterous affair, has skyrocketed in sales on shelves and online since its release
on Thursday.
