Hugo Chavez's Ex-Mistress: Fear 
Him 


The ex-mistress of Venezuela's dictator, Hugo Chavez, has a word of caution 
about her former lover -- beware! 
Speaking fondly of the would-be Fidel Castro clone and darling of the 
Hollywood liberal community as a tender lover, Herma Marksman, Chavez's mistress 
for 10 years, also told the Times of London that Chavez is dangerous and not to 
be trusted. 
"I keep the best memories of him close to me,” Marksman told the Times. "He’s 
the kind of man that showers you with flowers and chocolates, serenades you with 
romantic songs and never forgets your birthday. People say he is a violent man, 
but he never raised a hand or his voice to me.” 
Marksman has a different opinion of Chavez as Venezuela's president, however. 
"Now you can’t trust him,” she said during what the Times called her first 
interview with any foreign media. "He is imposing a fascist dictatorship. A 
totalitarian regime is coming because he doesn’t believe in democratic 
institutions. Hugo controls all the powers.” 
Described by the Times as anything but "an angry ex-bimbo" determined to 
denigrate a man who dumped her, the 50ish professor of history has written two 
books about Chavez’s politics.
During the interview with the Times, she called Chavez "sweet” and "kind” as 
a lover. But as a president, she added, "he’s the caudillo (strongman) you have 
to say yes to. At the rate he’s going, his end can only be violent.” 
For almost a decade in the 1980s and 1990s, Marksman recalls encouraging her
