France's first lady Carla Bruni denied Monday that her U.S. counterpart ever told her that life in the White House was "hell."

"Of course Michelle Obama never said such a thing," the former model told CNN after arriving at the United Nations on the arm of her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was attending a summit on global development.

Bruni said Monday that she had not read the book and had no plans to take legal action against the authors. "France is a free country where anyone can, you know, fantasize and print it," she said, adding that taking legal action would simply give further publicity to the authors.

"Second of all, it's not in my principle," she said. "You know -- I'm a democrat. I believe that everyone is allowed to say and write what they want."

1. Not fair that their 1st lady is smarter than 85% of our public figures. n/t

2. Another non-troversy.

She's not an elected official. I don't care if she outright said she hates America and every single person in it on national television. It won't make a bit of difference in how I vote because we're not voting for her.
