Nafissatou Diallo a Liar! "So many inconsistencies, it's incredible." DA will likely drop case against Dominique Strauss- Kahn!

Nafissatou Diallo

The DSK maid's bizarre media blitz has brought the case to the edge of ruin.
Furious DA sources yesterday told The Post that if there had been any doubt that hotel housekeeper Nafissatou Diallo would be destroyed on the stand with her already-wildly varying accounts of what happened between her and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, there is no more -- after she doled out even more conflicting statements during a round of interviews to ABC and Newsweek on Monday.
"There's so many inconsistencies now it's incredible," said one source, noting the slew of conflicting tales Diallo has allegedly told hospital staffers, cops, prosecutors, a grand jury and now the two media outlets. "It's like multiple choice -- pick a version."

For one, the DA sources said, the maid apparently suddenly and miraculously regained her memory of a conversation she said she had with Strauss-Kahn after he emerged naked from the bathroom in his Sofitel hotel suite -- after telling a hospital worker that he said nothing to her as he tried to rape her.
"I saw this little man come to me. He come naked," the 5-foot-10 woman told ABC News.
She told Newsweek that she exclaimed to him, "Oh, my God. I'm so sorry."
She claimed he responded, "You don't have to be sorry," as he reached for her breasts. "You're beautiful," she said he told her as he steered her toward the bathroom.
She said she told him to stop: "I don't want to lose my job."
He answered, "You're not going to lose your job," according to the account she delivered to her media interviewers.
But just hours after the attack, she told a hospital counselor that Strauss-Kahn -- then a French presidential hopeful -- did not speak, The New York Times reported on July 5.
Sources told The Post that there are "many" other discrepancies between her official accounts and the versions she's now telling the media -- all of which have essentially doomed her case.
"It's a mess," one flabbergasted source said.
Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. already had been weighing whether to drop the case against DSK, and now -- with the maid's new accounts handing DSK's lawyers powerful weapons to use in a cross-examination of her -- it's clear any prosecution of the former head of the International Monetary Fund would be a disaster, sources said.

Maid that was allegedly raped by Stauss Kahn, tell her side of the story!


The Maid Nafissatou Diallo

“Hello? Housekeeping.”
The maid hovered in the suite’s large living room, just inside the entrance. The 32-year-old Guinean, an employee of the Sofitel hotel, had been told by a room-service waiter that room 2806 was now free for cleaning, “Hello? Housekeeping,” the maid called out again. No reply. The door to the bedroom, to her left, was open, and she could see part of the bed. She glanced around the living room for luggage, saw none. “Hello? Housekeeping.” Then a naked man with white hair suddenly appeared, as if out of nowhere.
That’s how Nafissatou Diallo describes the start of the explosive incident on Saturday, May 14, that would forever change her life—and that of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund and, until that moment, the man tipped to be the next president of France. Now the woman known universally as the “DSK maid” has broken her public silence for the first time, talking for more than three hours with NEWSWEEK at the office of her attorneys, Thompson Wigdor, on New York City’s Fifth Avenue.
“Nafi” Diallo is not glamorous. Her light-brown skin is pitted with what look like faint acne scars, and her dark hair is hennaed, straightened, and worn flat to her head, but she has a womanly, statuesque figure. When her face is in repose, there is an opaque melancholy to it. Working at the Sofitel for the last three years, with its security and stability, was clearly the best job she’d ever hoped to have, after years braiding hair and working in a friend’s store in the Bronx as a newcomer from Guinea in 2003.
Diallo cannot read or write in any language; she has few “close friends,” she says, and some of the men she has spent time with, whom she does not call fiancés or boyfriends, but “just friends,” appear to have taken advantage of her. One, now in a federal detention center in Arizona awaiting deportation after a drug conviction, won her confidence—and, she says, access to her bank accounts—by giving her fake designer bags: “Six or seven of them,” she says. “They weren’t very good.” Her face goes almost blank. “He was my friend that I trust—that I used to trust,” she says
Occasionally as Diallo talked, she wept, and there were moments when the tears seemed forced. Almost all questions about her past in West Africa were met with vague responses. She was reluctant to talk about her father, an imam who ran a Quranic school out of the family home in rural Guinea. Her husband died of “an illness,” she said. So did a daughter who was 3 or 4 months old—she wasn’t sure. Diallo was raped by two soldiers who arrested her for a curfew violation at night in Conakry, the Guinean capital. When they had finished with her, they released her the next morning, she said, but made her clean up the scene of the assault. At first she said she couldn’t recall what year that happened, but later she said it was 2001. Diallo had managed to get her surviving daughter, now 15, out of Africa and to the United States “for a better life,” she said. But precisely how that happened was not a subject she or her lawyers would explore. Again, her eyes stared downward, welling with tears.
When Diallo reached the point of her alleged assault in the Sofitel, however, her account was vivid and compelling. As she told NEWSWEEK, she had used up a lot of time waiting for guests to check out of room 2820 before she cleaned it. Then she saw the room-service waiter taking the tray out of 2806, one of the hotel’s presidential suites. The waiter said it was empty. But still she decided to check.
