The New York City hotel maid who accused former International Monetary Fund chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, of attempting to rape her appeared on television this morning for the first time. Nafissatou Diallo, an immigrant from the African nation of Guinea, appeared on “Good Morning America.”

Nafissatou Diallo: “I was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’ I turned my head. He come to me and grabbed my breasts. ‘No, you don’t have to be sorry.’ I said, I said, ‘Stop, stop, I don’t want to lose my job.’ Yeah, I was like, ‘Stop, stop this. Stop this.’ But he won’t say nothing. He keep pushing me, pushing me, pushing me to the hallway, back to the hallway, keep pushing me. I was so afraid. I was so scared.”

Diallo decided to speak out weeks after reports emerged that the case against Strauss-Kahn was falling apart after doubts emerged over her credibility.
