PARIS – “Regrets? No, I’m not”. Talks about Alexandra de Taddeo, the woman of the scandal that led to the withdrawal of the candidate for mayor of Paris, Benjamin Griveaux. Student at law, was born in Metz 29 years ago, and with interests related to Russia, Taddeo has released his first interview to the broadcaster M6. Explain that you have kept the video revealing that Griveaux sent in 2018 to protect you in case you were to discover their relationship with the then minister, married with children. “I wanted to be able to prove that it was him that had me stressed”.
With the former minister, a faithful follower of Macron, started in April 2018 a virtual relationship via Instagram and Facebook Messenger, then translated into a physical encounter, in the paris apartment of the young woman. Taddeo stated that there was only one sexual relationship with Griveaux. “A little disappointing, as often happens when you know before virtually,” he adds. The exchange of messages and videos between the two, however, continued for a few months, with the young man who has reciprocated with pictures “is less porn and more erotic,” explains. In the end, Taddeo claims to have closed communications with Givreaux at the beginning of 2019, and tells of having been engaged with the Russian artist Piotr Pavlenskij. “The man of my life,” he says at a certain point in the interview, getting very emotional when the interviewer asks if it is difficult not to have any more contact with him, as they set the judges for the two suspects in the case. “It’s very hard, because I love it. But I am convinced that this event will unite us even more”.
Thaddeus is investigated together with Pavlenskij for “violation of privacy” and “dissemination without the consent of the person to images of a sexual nature”, offences punishable in France with two years of prison and 60 thousand euro of the penalty. And yet, does not seem worried, even if repeats have been unaware of the project of her boyfriend. The video, he continues, have been made available online by Pavlenskij without his knowledge on the site PornoPolitique. “I only discovered after,” he says. “On time, hot, I am angry with Piotr. Then I realized his gesture that in the wake of my political beliefs”.
The young woman, who some have imagined even as a Mata Hari at the service of Russia, shows a smiling and quiet. “I have no regrets because I love Piotr”. Says he’s been amazed by the clamour provoked by the publication of the video. “In the end we are surrounded by pornographic images,” he said. Think that Griveaux was forced to step aside “noting the hypocrisy of”, i.e. the contradiction between her flirtation and the program of support to the families who brought forward in the election campaign. “Maybe this story will force the politicians to be a little honest between what they say in public and do in private.” Pavlenskij has promised to spread to other videos. Thaddeus smiles. “I don’t know, but he is not a persuader, and so I think it is true.”
