France’s ex-First Lady Valerie Trierweiler on cheating Prez

Jacques Brinon/AP French Head Francois Hollande and his then-partner Valerie Trierweiler are seen in 2013.

The former First Lady of France is stabbing Head Francois Hollande with a poison pen, revealing in a new chronicle how his philandering drove her to a suicide attempt.

In her book, “Thank You For This Moment: A Report of Like, Power and Betrayal,” Valerie Trierweiler takes Hollande to task for dumping her for French actress Julie Gayet — and then for shamelessly trying to win her back, as if she was “an election.”

Trierweiler, 49, goes into detail of how she confronted Hollande, 60, over the affair in January after he repeatedly denied it.

“He wouldn’t look me in the eye. I started hurling questions at him: ‘How did it take place? Why? When did it start?’ ” Trierweiler writes in excerpts published by the Day after day Mail.

At that point Hollande and Trierweiler, who were not married, had been in what she assumed was a monogamous relationship for nine years.

After Hollande finally admitted that he had been unfaithful, Trierweiler rationalized the infidelity.

“I was strangely cool. OK, how about a Clintonesque strategy — public apologies and a look excellent never to see her again? We could start over. I pleaded, thinking only that I didn’t want to lose him.

Initially, Hollande said the affair had been going on for only a month. Then he confessed he had been considering Gayet, 42, for a year.

She said when the scandal was exposed, she tried to kill herself with pills.

“All I wanted was to sleep — I could not bear to live through the next few hours. I could sense the hailstorm that was preparing to hit me and I wanted to plank down the hatches — I did not have the strength to withstand it. I wanted to getting away from one way or another.”

After being hospitalized, Trierweiler reveals Hollande tried to woo her back.

“There have been too many lies, too many betrayals, too much cruelty,” she writes. “Why would I risk going through any of that again? It’s time to go on.”
