Her personal connections to the Gaddafi family and her public support of them after they were deposed led her to lose her contract with Telefonica Europe. They decided that she did not “distance herself from her comments on the conflict in Libya.”
Vanessa had said that the West was mistaken in supporting rebels that had deposed Gaddafi’s family.
