Politician Nancy Pelosi's daughter Alexandra Pelosi recently made some revelations that grabbed the attention of the internet. Alexandra stated that her mother performed an exorcism when her husband became the victim of a brutal attack in October 2022.
While speaking to The New York Times, Alexandra said that the exorcism happened at their house on Thanksgiving. She added that her mother was feeling guilty as her husband was attacked by someone whose real target was Nancy:
"I think that weighed really heavy on her soul. I think she felt really guilty. I think that really broke her. Over Thanksgiving, she had priests coming, trying to have an exorcism of the house and having prayer services. He's a strong person, athletic. This has been tough. It's going to be about three or four more months before he's really back to normal."
However, the pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Church and Pelosi's local parish Father Arturo Albano denied Alexandra's claims. Speaking to The Post, Albano said that no exorcism was performed at Pelosi's house.
Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked on October 28, 2022
An unknown individual entered Paul Pelosi's residence in San Francisco and was reportedly searching for Nancy Pelosi. However, he ended up attacking Paul with a hammer, following which the latter suffered multiple injuries.
Paul was immediately taken to the hospital where he had to undergo surgery. Nancy revealed a few days later that Paul was recovering slowly and he was discharged on November 3, 2022.
He made his first public appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors following the incident and had to hide his injuries with a hat.
42-year-old David DePape was arrested at the scene of crime. He had some mental health issues and also shared several controversial posts on social media. While speaking to the San Francisco Police Department, DePape said that he was planning to take Nancy hostage and also kidnap and interrogate her.
Police officers also searched DePape's garage from where they managed to find two hammers, a sword, and rubber and cloth gloves. DePape revealed during a police interview that he entered the house by breaking the doors at the back of the house.
When he was arrested, police officers searched his bag and found zip ties, duct tape, rope, a hammer, rubber, and cloth gloves. When the attack happened, Nancy was in Washington, D.C., and when DePape entered her house, he asked Paul about Nancy's whereabouts. Paul replied by saying that she was not at home and DePape then stated that he would wait.
DePape recently pleaded not guilty to accusations linked to murder and assault. He will be taken to court again on February 23, 2022.
