"The children of TV": Valérie Trierweiler recounts this big mistake that she still regrets today: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

Guest on the set of the show Children of TV broadcast on France 2 Sunday 14 March 2021, Valérie Trierweiler returned to one of her greatest regrets. Presenter Laurent Ruquier went around the table and asked his guests "their worst mistake". Then comes the turn of the former First Lady and ex-companion of François Hollande: in 2012, she creates controversy following the publication of a tweet in which she expresses her support for Olivier Falorni, socialist candidate during legislative elections in La Rochelle opposed to Ségolène Royal. "Courage to Olivier Falorni who has not been unworthy, who has fought alongside the Rochelais for so many years in a selfless commitment ".

Valérie Trierweiler did not hesitate to come back to this tweet that she "had sent to support a legislative candidate" in 2012 and defended herself: "I had absolutely not realized that I no longer had the right to a clean word ". Comedian Bernard Mabille, also on the show's set, had fun with the situation and teased the one who has now shared Romain Magellan's life for several years: "Valérie, that was wrong ". The former First Lady says she already did her mea-culpa when the case exploded: "I made all the contritions possible. I say it again, but what is done is done ".

Valérie Trierweiler: her new life with Romain Magellan

Valérie Trierweiler has long suffered from her experience at the Elysee Palace as she explained in an interview with the magazine Paris Match. "It was not always easy, but I knew how to create spaces for survival at this moment." Not being married to François Hollande, she recounted having faced daily insults: “From the start I was seen as illegitimate. I was very surprised by this reactionary aspect of French society, which materialized at the time of marriage for all. "

In 2019, her life takes a new breath when she meets rugby player Romain Magellan through the ELA association with which the athlete collaborates. An idyll that has lasted today for two years, leaving Valérie Trierweiler to forget her old demons.
