Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn's loyal wife is plotting her revenge against those who turned their backs on her husband while he was going through the court ordeal over the attempted rape case.

"Let's not forget those who spit in our face," Strauss-Kahn's wife Anne Sinclair texted to friends last Friday after her husband was freed from house arrest, the New York Daily News quoted a report of French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, as saying.

Sinclair stood by her husband after the news emerged that he allegedly raped a hotel maid in New York in May this year, and was there last week when prosecutors admitted his accuser has credibility issues.

"We were right not to have any doubts!" she reportedly wrote in a second text.

Sinclair, a New York-born former TV journalist, was in Paris when Strauss-Kahn was accused of attacking the hotel maid.

One of her friends said that she has lost a lot of weight while in the 'media prison' during the pendancy of the trial.

While some French feminists criticized Sinclair for blindly supporting her husband, one of her friends admired her devotion, saying: "Dominique is her passion, her family, her life."
