Michelle Obama said what now?
The French government denies the claim in a biography written about its first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, that Michelle Obama called being first lady of the United States "hell."
"Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy distances herself completely from the content of the book 'Carla and the Ambitious,'" French Embassy spokesman Emmanuel Lenain told CBS News. "The words attributed to the first lady of the United States were never said."
In a conversation with the Daily News, Lenain called the bio "unauthorized" and said Bruni was not involved with writing it.
The White House has also denied the first lady ever made such a statement.
According to the Daily Mail report, which initially claimed Bruni participated in writing the book with authors Michael Darmon and Yves Derai, the biography claims Bruni had a private conversation with Mrs. Obama at the White House in March in which she asked what she felt about being the first lady.
"Don't ask! It's hell. I can't stand it!" the book alleges Mrs. Obama told Bruni.
