"Belle de Jour is a research student with a PhD. Shocked? Not as much as her deceived boyfriend"
16 November 2009  
.
"'I couldn't find a job in my chosen field because I didn't then have my PhD and I got through my savings a lot faster than I thought I would.  'Yeah, you could work behind a bar, but how many hours would you have to do to pay the rent? I couldn't get an overdraft, though once I started depositing so much cash, they offered me a mortgage within three months.'"

It's from 2009, but I don't remember ever reading it before. She "outed" herself and gave a lengthy interview with a newspaper.  From her pictures, she sort of looks like Catherine Deneuve (famous French actress who played Belle de Jour in the movie Belle de Jour).

Normally, TER doesn't allow naming names, even from news articles, but I think this is OK because she outed herself, claimed the big headlines, and got a TV show out of it.
