French first lady finally discharge from hospital after affair allegations

The First lady of France, Valerie Trierweiler  has been discharged from the hospital after a week long stay following the allegation levied against her partner, President Francois Hollande over having an affair with an actress.
Hours after her discharge from the hospital, Valerie thanked her supporters.


"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who sent messages of support and recovery" by email or social media, Trierweiler tweeted. "Very touched."
A member of Trierweiler's entourage confirmed numerous French media reports that she left La Pitie-Salpetriere hospital. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Trierweiler's destination couldn't immediately be confirmed, but Paris Match magazine, for whom she worked for years as a journalist, reported that she was resting at an official residence in Versailles, west of Paris.
Trierweiler, 48, was hospitalised January 10, adding a new dimension to the unpopular president's troubles, which erupted after Closer magazine reported that Hollande was seeing actress Julie Gayet.
The magazine published photos showing a man it said was the president, wearing a helmet and seated on the back of a scooter, allegedly being taken to a rendezvous with Gayet. Trierweiler, whom Hollande has never married, was hospitalised the following day.
Hollande spent Saturday in the rural central region of Correze, calling in a speech for national unity. He didn't mention his private life.
Hollande had acknowledged at a major news conference last Tuesday "painful moments" in his relationship with Trierweiler. He said he would clarify his domestic situation before a February 11 state visit to Washington, when Trierweiler would normally accompany him.
