A copy of Newsweek Magazine featuring former IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the Guinean woman who has accused him of trying to rape her in New York. 'Because of him, they call me a prostitute,' Nafissatou Diallo told Newsweek magazine in her first public interview since the alleged attack by the former powerful French politician in a Manhattan hotel suite in May.'
In an unusual move, the maid allegedly raped by the former chief of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss Kahn, is speaking out. Nafissatou Diallo, 32, from the West African nation of Guinea has given interviews to ABC's Good Morning America and Newsweek. She describes her version of what happened in a New York hotel room last May, denying allegations that the encounter with DSK was consensual, that she was a prostitute or that she was after Strauss Kahn's money. Newsweek reporter John Solomon spoke with Diallo for this week's publication and joins Madeleine to discuss their conversation and the future of the case.
