DSK DUMPED!

SHE STOOD by him when he was accused of attempted rape, but Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s wife has finally kicked him to the curb.

Anne Sinclair, heir to an art fortune, threw the scandal-scarred, skirt-chasing Socialist out of their Paris house a month ago, Reuters reported.

“He’s in a bad way. It’s very sad,” an acquaintan­ce said of Strauss-Kahn, whose presidenti­al ambitions imploded when he was charged with sexually assaulting a Manhattan hotel maid last year.

After the French pol’s arrest, Sinclair, 63, rode to his rescue, putting up his $1 million bail and accompanyi­ng him to court dates.

The charges were eventually dropped amid questions about the accuser’s credibilit­y, but Strauss-Kahn’s defense — that his sexual contact with the maid was consensual — couldn’t have made her happy.

Then came allegation­s of attempted rape from a French writer, followed by a probe of possible links to a prostituti­on ring. And Strauss-Kahn, 63, is being sued by the maid.

While he remains politicall­y radioactiv­e, Sinclair has relaunched her journalism career, signing on as the French editor of Huffington Post.

“He’s mostly just at home on his own while Anne is out and about with her new job,” the acquaintan­ce told Reuters. “He’s shunned by everybody.”

The New York-born Sinclair, whose family fortune is estimated at more than $100 million, married Strauss-Kahn 20 years ago after falling for him during an interview.
