DSK's Long-Silent Wife Launches Le Huffington Post She was the silent, supportive wife during the scandal that forced her husband, former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, into the spotlight of public scrutiny after his arrest on sexual assault charges in New York - later dropped. Now, Anne Sinclair, once France's diva of TV journalism, has stepped back into the spotlight, announcing her return to the work force Monday, this time with Le Huffington Post, the made-in-France version of the news and opinion Web site. For colleagues who ask how she stood by her man amid humiliating revelations, she has but one reply: mind your own business. The 63-year-old Sinclair made her reputation as a journalist interviewing politicians and stars on her "7 Sur 7" TV show for 13 years. She later started up the Internet site of the leading French TV station. On Monday, she joined Arianna Huffington, HuffPost's founder, at a packed news conference to announce the launch of Le Huffington Post, the first foreign-language version of the site, and her appointment as its editorial director. More foreign-language HuffPosts are to follow in coming months, in Spain as early as March, in Italy in April, then in Brazil, Greece - where Huffington was born - and Turkey. The small French version, with a team of eight journalists, is associated with the independent daily Le Monde, where its offices are located. Huffington would not divulge the operation's budget. Despite the ambitious sweep of the project, Sinclair, a woman of independent means, will work without salary at a job she says "fell from the sky." Here, I'm not the most geeky person of the team. That's clear," Sinclair said during the introductions. But she said it's a pleasure to be back on the job - at a peak news time with the euro financial crisis, spring presidential elections in France, followed by the U.S. presidential voting. Sinclair has spent the last eight months in the shadows as the stoic, silent wife in the sex assault scandal that began with the spectacular May 14 arrest of Strauss-Kahn - known here as DSK - after he boarded an Air France flight in New York for Paris. Charged with sexual assault based on accusations by a housekeeper at Manhattan's Sofitel hotel, Strauss-Kahn was jailed on Rikers Island, then forced into a gilded prison, a luxury townhouse in Manhattan, an electronic bracelet locked on his ankle. As months passed, DSK's bid to become the Socialist candidate in French presidential elections this April and May disappeared, like his IMF job. Sinclair's wealth cushioned the blows, from paying bail and rent for the extravagant townhouse - but raised questions about why she hung in as sordid tales came out. Sinclair - long a role model among French women - vowed at Monday's news conference that there would be no conflict of interest in her new job. All important information will be treated normally. And everything that should be page 1 will be page 1," Sinclair insisted. What if the news is about her husband? "I wasn't expecting that question," she quipped. I don't think it will be the essential news of 2012, but if it were we would handle it ... in a professional manner. Strauss-Kahn still faces a civil lawsuit in the U.S. by the hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo, but that could take years to reach court.
