I had been living in New York and I moved back to Paris, to try again with the father of my son. It was a big change. I wasn't so healthy in Paris . . . I couldn't find a gym, and exercise is important to me because I am very hyper. I came straight from New York to living in Claude's house, and I really wanted it to work, and it didn't work out. He hurt me . . . so I decided . . . I don't know how to say this. It was like a bad, bad depression, a very deep depression. I felt really alone. It wasn't just like, "I'm here, don't ignore me". Nothing like that. I really thought I wanted . . . I decided to. After my . . . after I tried to kill myself, when I woke up, I finally realized: Claude is not the man for me.

Not in a club. [He is] a Jewish doctor who doesn't care about money.

He is bilingual, and he is learning horse riding and Spanish. Everything is normal. I eat normally now. I used to be a bit crazy about what I ate, but now I eat what I want to eat.

I come from a really poor family, and when I started doing campaigns it changed everything for my family. I am not complaining, I had a beautiful childhood - we didn't have a lot of money, but there was always food on the table, and my parents saved money so that in the holidays we would all get in the car and drive to the mountains.

But they don't understand. I love my son so much. But I didn't think I was good enough, I thought I was poison. Poison for me and poison for him.
