Rachida Dati is a woman of temperament. Nothing seems to be able to reach it, and yet… The former Minister of Justice had revealed in Le Monde the rumors which had hurt him the most during his career.
Like all political figures, Rachida Dati has not always been unanimous. Proof of this is the tackle that Olivia Grégoire has just addressed to her, secretary in charge of the Social Economy, solidarity and responsibility, who gave birth to a little girl and who has decided to take full advantage of her maternity leave. “I will not do like some women in politics who returned almost the day after giving birth”, she said in the columns of Paris Match, this Thursday, December 30. A remark that seems to directly target Rachida Dati who had returned to work only five days after giving birth to her daughter in 2009.
Critics on which the former Minister of Justice does not seem to stop. However, she revealed, in 2017, during a long interview with journalists from the World, that she had been hurt to be the target of certain rumors: “What upsets me the most is that people say that I slept with everyone”, she then said. And to add: “Even Sarko, we said we slept together, but that’s absurd! I’m not his type at all. He patted me on the back like a regimental buddy, and I called him ‘Jean-Claude Dusse’ (a reference to Patrice Leconte’s Bronzés). “
