New York (CNN) -- France's first lady Carla Bruni denied Monday that her U.S. counterpart ever told her that life in the White House was "hell."

"Of course Michelle Obama never said such a thing," the former model told CNN at the French mission in Midtown. She arrived Monday at the United Nations on the arm of her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was attending a summit on global development.
