In her first public appearance, the DSK maid today told a gathering at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn that she and her daughter cry every day.
“I’m here today to tell everybody how much I’m going through,” Nafissatou Diallo said.
She added that her daughter pleads with her to stop crying, saying she needs Diallo to be strong for her.
“What happened to me I don’t want to happen to any other woman,” she said.
AFTER 8 HOURS, DSK MAID CAN’T CONVINCE DA SHE’S NOT AFTER CASH
“I said, ‘God, why me? But I just want to thank everybody” for their support, Diallo said.
After her brief remarks, she was led out of the building while community leaders spoke.
Diallo, who is accusing former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault at the Sofitel hotel, and her lawyers spent nearly eight hours yesterday huddled with Manhattan prosecutors — but failed to convince them she was not out to get money from the ex-IMF boss, sources told The Post.
The evidence her lawyers had counted on were audio recordings of calls between accuser Nafissatou Diallo and a jailed friend.
The conversations, in the African dialect of Fulani, made it clear “she never said one word about his money,” her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, told reporters after leaving the meeting.
But The Post’s sources disagreed with the defense interpretation of the tapes, and said they prove she thought she could “make money” from the case.
