Filippetti's first novel Les derniers jours de la classe Ouvrière (The Last Days of the Working Class), published by Stock in 2003, has been translated into several languages. In 2003, Filippetti wrote the script for the theatre production Fragments d'humanité.
From 2007 until 2012, Filippetti was a member of the National Assembly of France, representing the Moselledépartement. In parliament, she served on the Committee on Cultural Affairs (2007-2008), the Committee on Legal Affairs (2008-2010) and the Finance Committee (2010-2012).[3]
On Filippetti's initiative, the National Assembly passed a law in 2013 preventing internet booksellers from offering free delivery to customers, in an attempt to protect the country's struggling bookshops from the growing dominance of US online retailer Amazon.[4] In 2014, Filippetti dismissed Anne Baldassari, the director of the Musée Picasso, after mounting criticism of her management.[5]
Following the resignation of Arnaud Montebourg in protest against Hollande's economic policies, Filippetti and Benoît Hamon also resigned on 25 August 2014.[6][7][8]
In the Socialist Party's presidential primaries, Filippetti endorsed Montebourg as the party's candidate for that year's presidential elections.[11] When Hamon was chosen instead, she joined his campaign team as spokesperson.
Filippetti was excluded for 18 months after supporting a dissident list, and announced January, 17th 2018 that she left the Socialist Party and joined Génération.s., the political movement of Benoît Hamon, her former colleague in the French Government.
Later in 2018, Filippetti announced her intention to resign from politics.[12]
Controversy
On 9 November 2004, Filippetti and Xavière Tibéri wrangled after a tense district council meeting. Each of them accused the other one of assault or threats. Tibéri had a head trauma, which she claimed was caused by Filippetti pushing her over; she filed a complaint.[13]
In 2008, Filippetti made headlines when she went public with allegations that former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn had sexually attacked her.[14][15]
Personal life
Filippetti was in a relationship with economist Thomas Piketty. In 2009, she filed a complaint of domestic violence against him; Piketty apologized for his actions and Filippetti quickly dropped the charges.[16]
In September 2014, Filippetti and Arnaud Montebourg sued Paris Match for invasion of privacy for reporting they are romantically involved; the weekly's cover featured a photo of them during a trip to San Francisco.[17][18]
From 2014 to the beginning of 2017, Filippetti had a relationship with Montebourg,[19] with whom she had a daughter, Jeanne, born in September 2015.[20] Her first daughter, Clara, is from a previous relationship.
