( CNN ) -- The wife of former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said she is closing down her popular French blog . Anne Sinclair , who has been writing about life in the United States on her blog , `` Two or Three Things Seen in America '' since 2008 , wrote Monday : `` You understand the circumstances which force me to temporarily suspend this blog . '' She closed by saying , `` See you soon . '' Strauss-Kahn , who is awaiting a trial on sexual assault charges , was released on bail from the Rikers Island jail Friday . He is accused of trying to rape a maid this month in his suite at the Sofitel hotel in New York . He will stay with his wife . Strauss-Kahn faces two counts of criminal sexual act ; two counts of sexual abuse ; and one count each of attempt to commit rape , unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching . In the charge of criminal sexual act in the first degree , Strauss-Kahn is accused of having `` engaged in oral sexual conduct with an individual ... by forcible compulsion , '' an indictment states . There appears to be growing popular sympathy for Sinclair , a former television broadcaster described by some as the `` Barbara Walters '' of France . `` She is very courageous , '' said Jack Lang , one of the elders of France 's Socialist Party , as well as a friend and neighbor of Strauss-Kahn . In her message to her blog readers , Sinclair said , `` You have sent me very many messages . I can not answer each one but know that they touched and helped me . '' CNN 's Marilia Brocchetto contributed to this report .
