Alexandra Paressant: The Cookie Crumbles

Here's what I didn't know:
1. None of the photos on MySpace were of Paressant. They were different shots of similar-looking models. A lot of the site, which is now set to private, was made up.
2. Alexandra never had a relationship with Ronaldinho, according to his lawyer, who is also his brother, and there's no indication she ever met Tony Parker.
3. She appears to have created her relationship with Ronaldinho by anonymously flooding footballer forums with posts about "Ronaldinho and his fiance the French top model Alexandra Paressant" and doctoring photos. Fans and the media started to accept the fake relationship as fact.
4. Paressant took a quicker route with Parker: she contacted X17 with images of what she said were text messages from Parker and stories about their alleged sex life involving Nutella, strawberries and a vibrator shaped like a duck.

A previous unknown French Model named Alexandra Paressant recently rocked Tony Parker's world when she publicly claimed to have had an affair with him. She even gave details to gossip site X17. Tony got mad, and sued the website for 20 mill. Well it looks like X17 will soon be going out of business, 'cause the rest of the story is coming out, and it's a doozy! A Huffington Post blogger, who is also a People Mag freelancer, began background checking the story, as part of a routine assignment, and she found out something shocking!

Dana Kennedy contacted Alexandra to see if she was on the up and up, although she had no reason to doubt her. Her story seemed straight forward enough. She caught the eye of a philandering athlete at his wedding, and began a torrid affair with him. Parker was fed up with Eva. There were certain things she wouldn't do in the bed room. For instance she was afraid that sperm would give her acne. Paressant insisted that she stepped in to take up the slack.

It wasn't her first scandalous fling with an athlete. She claimed to have bedded soccer star Ronoldihno repeatedly during the World Cup. Soccer fans were outraged, fearing that she had sapped the soccer star's energy, and cost France a world cup. French Soccer mag So Foot even did a story on her, and that's when her carefully fabricated image as a jet setting femme fatal began to unravel.

Kennedy discovered in her back ground research that Ronoldinho claimed to have never met the woman. Further more he was suing her for defamation. The only evidence that they had been together were in the form of photo shopped pictures submitted to message boards. it turned out that they had been submitted by Paressant herself.

As Kennedy continued to interview Paressant, by cell phone, she discovered that the woman's Myspace photo's were actually of some one else - a German model named Hana Nitsche. The French residency card Paressant had sent Kennedy also contained a fake photo. This came to light when Kennedy contacted an old school chum, Marie-Caroline Arnoldo. Arnoldo had some insight into Paressant's strange behaviour. She described her as a girl dis satisfied with herself. Says Arnoldo, "She was never happy in her own skin. She never thought she was pretty enough. She was troubled. It was like she felt she didn't really exist. She's not ugly but she's average. She's definitely not model material."

So the woman went about creating a make believe life in which she was a jet setting model; breaking hearts and breaking up marriages. During the last contact Kennedy had with Paresant, the 'model' was still holding on tight to her dreams. She claimed that Arnoldo was spreading lies about her because she was jealous, and hated her. She also maintained that she was too busy with her career right now to bother defending her story. She said she was booked on American tabloid TV show Extra. Extra is currently on hiatus. When challenged, a defiant Paressant said "Go ahead and print your . I don't care". So it appears that X17 has got burned by a dangerously psychotic wannabe. Tony Parker's off the hook too. Now he and new bride Eva can return to the real world of make believe in Hollywood! Still, if Paressant had been a little less psychotic, or if she'd had a little mroe game, she might have been on her way to Hollywood!
