The hotel maid who accused former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault filed a libel lawsuit Tuesday against the New York Post and five reporters over recent articles that said she had worked as a prostitute.
The lawsuit was filed in the State Supreme Court in the Bronx, where the woman lives, and uses only her initials. According to the suit, the newspaper and its reporters "falsely, maliciously, and with reckless disregard for the truth stated as a fact that the Plaintiff is a 'prostitute,' 'hooker,' 'working girl' and/or 'routinely traded sex for money with male guests' of the Sofitel hotel located in Manhattan."
"All of these statements are false [and] have subjected the Plaintiff to humiliation, scorn and ridicule throughout the world," the lawsuit says.
A spokesman for the Post said, "We stand by our reporting." The Post is a division of News Corp., which also owns the The Wall Street Journal.
The Post cited "a source close to the defense investigation" in a July 2 article saying she received "extraordinary tips" and had expenses "paid for by men not related to her." The article didn't explicitly quote the source saying the woman was a prostitute, instead reporting that the newspaper "has learned" she worked as one. Benjamin Brafman, a lawyer for Mr. Strauss-Kahn, declined to comment.

This lady might be an immigrant, but she sure has mastered what it means to be an American. Lie, cheat, blackmail, and sue! Oh yeah, did I mention sex for hire?
Let’s see the evidence.
New York city shines again.
1. If the NY Post never named her and she's never been named in any of the legal proceedings, then how can she possibly claim that she's been defamed by any articles about the case?
2. She picked the wrong jurisdiction to file this kind of lawsuit. A media outlet like the NY Post will never just quietly settle out of court in a lawsuit like this.
3. Is she sure she wants to get on a witness stand and face cross-examination by a team of lawyers? LOL.
Zee French Maid has an attorney and a PR firm to handle the press...The same PR firm that Michael Jackson had. Imagine that!!! Ca ching....
I suspect she thinks The Post will settle for some amount that makes her go away; it's her same old game: blackmail. I predict that when she discovers how much information The Post is going to get during discovery, she will slink very quietly away.
Does it bother you to make them up the proof of their statements. So far all I have seen is, he said, she said, they said, where is the arrest records ,bank statements, and phone recordings.
If she is illegal, when will she be deported?
Not necessarily. Attorneys take high profile cases all the time that they doubt they can win, for a number of reasons. He may think the odds are long, but if he does win, he'll win big. He may need pro bono hours, he may be an "immigrant activist" lawyer, he may want exposure, and so on and so on.
oh please. Anyway, DSK’s gotta sue the hotel, unless he’s been better advised to keep a low profile.
Discovery!
Ha!
“Let’s see the evidence.”
I saw the evidence on another thread. She CLEARLY is NOT GUILTY.
The day after Meg Whitman’s former maid Rosa (or Maria or whatever)is deported.
Let us see the interrogatories answers to questions please.
She is one of those taqqiya immigrants.
Will that be before or after Aunt Zeituni?
