Dominique Strauss-Kahn's wife Anne Sinclair: 'leave your husband if you want, that's your problem' But his wife, a one-time star political TV journalist and millionaire heiress to an art fortune, dismissed as "unacceptable" claims that she was condoning violence towards women by offering her husband staunch moral and financial support. It's unacceptable because there was no violence. If there had been, the prosecutors would have pressed charges. They didn't. Violence horrifies me - verbal violence too To be a feminist is to fight that, not to meddle in the private life of other women to decide in their place what seems moral or not. "I am neither a saint, nor a victim," she added. I am a free woman. No one knows what happens in the privacy of a couple and I refuse anyone the right to judge mine. I feel free to take my own decisions and decide on my own actions. I decide on my own life," she said. Miss Sinclair, 63, also hit back at controversy in France over news she has been made editorial director of the French edition of The Huffington Post, the hit US news and opinion website. The site's first foreign language edition will be officially launched next Monday. That has led to claims in the French media of a potential conflict of interest if a site run by Miss Sinclair covers news about her husband. The couple recently sued several French media organisations over reports on rumours their marriage was on the rocks due to the Carlton scandal. "She is no longer a journalist," a writer at Le Monde said. Ever since she compared the DSK affair to the Dreyfus affair, she is an interested party. The Dreyfus affair shook France in the late 19th century when an army captain of Jewish origin was wrongly accused of treason. Miss Sinclair dismissed such claims: "It goes without saying that we will cover all news topics that come up whatever they might be. I'm not saying I would write the article (about her husband) but it will be covered and in the most professional manner possible. At one stage, the former TV star had harboured ambitions to take over Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as First Lady. But in the article, she said the job had never appealed to her. On the contrary, I wasn't mad keen on the idea of (my husband's presidential) candidacy. Power? I've seen it too close up to find it fascinating. As for the role of First Lady, it doesn't exist in France All that leaves me totally cold," she said. Miss Sinclair was one of France's best-known journalists in the 1980s when she hosted 7 Sur 7, a weekly interview with a political figure on the private TF1 TV channel. She said she fell in love with Mr Strauss-Kahn when their eyes met during a studio tête-à-tête on the show.
