Her lawyer Maurice Sercarz, also quit after revealing she owes him money and has not been taking his advice.

According to the New York Post, he told the judge: "Miss Sabourin feels it is a good idea to Tweet, to appear on television and discuss the case in the media contrary to my advice."

Genevieve also claimed she was being unfairly punished, saying: "I've been vilified around the world more than is possible to handle in this case.

"I'm being treated like a guilty person. This has destroyed my life."
