Dominique Strauss-Kahn made advances on two Sofitel Hotel employees, before he allegedly assaulted a maid, and then he hit on a flight attendant, before getting arrested, according to the New York Post. The report comes via interviews with every Sofitel Hotel employee, conducted by investigators in the case. First, the 62-year-old allegedly asked the Sofitel's VIP receptionist, who escorted him to his suite Friday evening, to join him for a glass of champagne after her shift, which she rejected. On Saturday, Strauss-Kahn asked a hotel desk receptionist to share Dom Perignon with him in his room, but the woman declined. Later -- after he allegedly "chased a maid down into his bedroom, grabbed her breasts, attempted to pull down her pantyhose, and forced her to perform fellatio before she tore free from his grasp" -- the ex-IMF honcho had lunch with his daughter Camille, a Columbia student, before heading to JFK Airport. Finally, on the airplane, Strauss-Kahn allegedly barked, "Quel beau cul" -- French for "nice ass" -- at a flight attendant, moments before Port Authority detectives hauled him off the plane and took him into custody.

And in case you're wondering how the Post covered this news: Horrifyingly, the paper describes him as "a frisky Frenchman .... hungry for any piece of meat he could lay his hands on," who "resorted to violence." (Ack.) Meanwhile, Strauss-Kahn's wife, Anne Sinclair, was spotted this weekend leaving the New York apartment where the ex-IMF chief is under house arrest.

1. This is a man-child who is used to his bad behavior going

unpunished.

[Dorian Gray]

11. Well

his "bad" behavior has gone unpunished. Hopefully his CRIMINAL behavior won't.

12. I don't know of any children that behave like that

And I have a house full of teenage boys every weekend. DSK is just a poor excuse for human being. One that uses his status on the social ladder to intimidate people and abuse them.

2. Yep, and it was all part of a giant conspiracy to topple the great man.

:sarcasm:

5. Apparently, they consider this guy just a "frisky" yout...

7. This isn't just a creepy old dude

And I'm not saying that merely because I might look like one to the twentysomethings that I work with.

Nope, this is a very well-off, powerful creepy old dude, who might well find that some women take jobs that put them near to him, where they can either use him as a steppingstone to a better job, or at least get some hush money or jewelry for their troubles.

No, I'm absolutely not saying that 99.9% of the women that this old fart were like that, but I imagine that just enough were (especially in Europe) to give him the impression that he's hot stuff. While I hold the attempts to bring women up to his room to drink as bad behavior, in themselves, they did not constitute the criminal conduct that he now finds himself rightfully charged with.

8. i agree with your post. this also paints picture of an old man flirting his way thru the day, women

young women that dont give it shit, just being harassed by an old man.

[customerserviceguy]

15. Yep, one that they're paid to ignore politely

No wonder he takes that to mean "maybe". Glad that his latest victim won't stand for it like his victims have in the past.

I wish there was some way that we could send her messages of support.

4. Ewww....sounds like he really crossed the line....hmmm?

I really feel sorry for his children, his daughter in particular. What a humiliating event to have to live through.

6. This man is an out of control misogynist freak.

9. Who Does He Think He Is?

The next governor of California?!

10. "frisky Frenchman"

someone has a gift for understatement.

[BeyondGeography]

13. After all that rejection he wasn't going to be denied by a lowly housekeeper

Arrogant old egomaniac that he is. Prosecution can sell that. He needs to do a deal.

14. Does eharmony have his email address?

He can afford their most expensive service.
