(from Wiki)

In 1990 the former first lady (Michelle Bennett) was divorced from Baby Doc. The former dictator filed for divorce in the Dominican Republic, accusing his wife of immoral acts. Madame Duvalier contested the decision, flying to the Dominican Republic to obtain a reversal before her husband prevailed in a third court. Madame Duvalier was at the time living with another man in Cannes; she was awarded alimony and child support.<11>
She lives in France, where she now uses her maiden name.<10>

---------------

Below photos Ven. news agency is running with the story. Photos apparently taken today after Baby Doc arrived. They have confused Bennett with this lady.





(Edit to identify lady in photos above.)

Duvalier reportedly lives modestly in Paris with Veronique Roy, his longtime companion and chief public-relations representative.<9> Roy is the granddaughter of Paul Magloire, President of Haïti from 1950 to 1956.<17><18>

-------------
Looking at Michelle Bennett's bio, seems she was a big, big high-roller, -- and corrupt to the bone.
