Hollande labels affair allegations 'attack on privacy'
French President Francois Hollande has threatened legal action over a magazine report saying he is having a secret affair with an actress, the latest breach in the French media’s practice of turning a blind eye to presidential love affairs.
Rumors have long circulated that Mr Hollande might have a lover. The magazine Closer published images today showing a bodyguard and a helmeted man it says is Mr Hollande visiting the apartment of Julie Gayet, a moderately known French actress who appeared in a clip for his 2012 presidential campaign.
