Can you imagine, you marry your husband and you're rummaging around in the attic or something and find his former wife in embalming fluids? OMG
Be back honey going to grocery store for sugar. (Runs and never looks back)
IKR!
@@cynthiameans 😂🤣🤣run girll
Ikr! She probably Screamed !
Yuck and EWWW.
Morals aside, she sounded like she must have been intelligent to navigate a sexist and antisemitic time and still end up with all that money and all those men
She Couldn't Have Faced Too Much Sexism, Or Anti-Semitism, If She Became Wealthy. It Was A Good Thing She Abandoned Her Children...She Would've Been A Horrible Role Model.
@@rebeccalee1065 How do you know how much she faced? She lived a sexist life as it was, selling her body for money. She just worked the system to her own advantage. As far as antisemitism goes, she changed her name, didn't she? She was trying to hide who she was from the start. that's how MANY Jews have prospered through the years, even if it's found out later.
SafetySpooon you sound mad that Jews get money lol 😂 sorry but you do.
@@SafetySpooon Why The RANT?! It's Not That Serious. If You Are SO Concerned, Where Is Your COMPASSION For The Children She Had Abandoned?
@@YourGraceMyLady actually they sound upset because this woman is being judged and misunderstood.
How the hell these people get around like this and I can't even get a man to say hello to me?
I feel u
I know the question is from two months ago, but courtesans were a part of life for aristocrats. It was a culturally accepted thing and as much as women who did it may be looked down on, they also were looked up to because they couldn't just rely on family name for a man's attention but had to actually be intelligent and good for something other than breeding. There are a number of women who still do this art form to this day. There are literally hundreds of books out there detailing how to catch the attention of rich men and keep them coming back. Courtesans still exist, they just go by the name "trophy wife" and "gold digger" now.
You're born 2 late.
🤣🤣🤦♀️
Tell me about it! I can't even get one proposal maybe its a good thing since we have good morals lol and not willing to sale ourselves. 😆
The original city girl. 😂
I'm loving your name... I might have to steal that..
😝
😅😂🤣
😂‼️
Me too! And you’re pretty!
I need a part 2 because I want to know how his wife reacted upon finding his dead wife in the attic. Did she tell him to remove her at once? I need to know!
Great video!
That would also interest me very much! It was an intriguing ending that I would have liked to know more about.
Count Guido's second wife Jekaterina Slepzowa (1862 - 1929), who came from St Petersburg and was 32 years younger than him, suffered a heavy shock and a nervous breakdown when she detected her predecessor's body in an alcohol-filled glass tank. But she could not get her husband to remove it from the attic of Neudeck Castle (today: Swierklaniec in Silesia, Poland). Only after Count Guido's death in 1916, his first wife was buried in the Von Henckel-Donnersmarck family vault.
@@Vailyn I gave a detailed answer to @Hot Mess History with Ti Said What Ti Said which could be interesting for you too, please look above! Best wishes
@@Shoebidoo1 Thank you for this answer. That's shocking. I can't even imagine how she must have felt. Pure horror! Have a wonderful day and thank you again. :)
@@Vailyn You're welcome! Greetings from Germany
There's a mexican saying that goes "A woman has more pull than a team of oxen"
Omg my mom would say this except she’s from South America not Mexico and her words exactly “ two pubic hairs have more pull than two oxen”
@@carissacortazzo like in Italian: "tira più un pelo di figa che un carro di buoi!" 😂
Facts only!😂
@@deb7534 Could you translate that for me, please? I am curious.
My aunt in Mexico used to say, “jala mas un par de tetas que una carreta.” Translation: it pulls more a pair of tits that an ox cart.
Yay! Been hanging out! thanks for your hard work. xx. "She's at least 40 ... " says a male who was at least 50 but still considered himself a catch. Nothing much has changed! As they say - women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street, bald with a beer gut and think they're still sexy". lol.
It's already happening.
And funny enought our society make fun of old womam that look young too, "she tries to stay young poor her" .... excuse me what ???? If she is still hot good for her !!!
See it all the time.
😆
@@jjba3571 I knew a woman just like that. Only she was still beautiful in her 50s. Very beautiful. She was my mother's best friend.
It's amazing how you find these almost nobody people, historically speaking, with such fascinating stories of eventful lives. Don't stop what you're doing, because this is one of my favorite curiosity channels I listen to to relax and find much inspiration from.
Thanks very much 💙
By the way, "Maison de passe" means "brothel", a literal translation would be "home of trick" as in French "passe" means "trick", an informal word for "sexual relationship provided by a prostitute". The name of the establishment gives it all away, where is the mystery lol
Thanks for the information Qeenie 🙂
Interesting! Thanks!
Very interesting. I love learning about language. Especially those that are foreign to me.
That's where it came from!? Thx for sharing. I always wondered how that term became used for prostitution
I don’t know whether cudos are in order or boos! Lol A very ambitious amoral woman, but she obviously had some hidden “ talents”. I wonder if she ever thought about her 2 children? And how did she avoid having many many more?
I’m sure she did think about them, however there was no way she was going to be able to keep either of them, as custody would’ve gone to the fathers anyway (both because she was a woman and because of her reputation in particular)
She probably didn't want them or thought much about them. With the status and riches she acquired she could have fought for custody or at least visitation. I think as she got richer she was more privy to ways to prevent pregnancy that weren't available to poor women.
Both children did not live to grow old. Antoine Villoing jr., born in 1837, stayed with his father Antoine sr. and died in 1862. Henriette Herz (born and died around 1840/45) lived with her paternal grandparents in Vienna.
@@bannanaberryboard I doubt she cared about them. She prefered the high life and her jewels than she did her children
Fun fact, the womam in the thumbnail is not La Paiva. She is actually la Belle Otero, another famous and rich ( not in later life though ) courtesan.
She sounds like someone you'd honestly hate to know in real life. "Look at me I super rich"...abandons children, leaves lovers broke, marries a man to take off with both his name and money the very next day. What a class act... not.
Hooker, gold digger, child
abandoner. Rich in the pocket poor in the heart. Great story. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Facts
You sumed it up pretty good
I've never heard someone so completely destroyed the way the Goncourt brothers did to her...like they shredded her very soul with the coldest take down I've ever had the pleasure of reading, the barrage of brutality broken up with the tiniest and most calculating of complements ...I'm just....so damn impressed I can't hardly stand it...

She was going to obtain her goal, come heck or high water. Well done I do so enjoy your narration. Thank you again for all the hard work you do.
Thanks for watching 🙂
No matter how one feels about her tactics, she did exceptionally well for someone born with three strikes against them (female, poor, Jewish).
Fascinating story, thanks!
What She Obtained In This World Didn't Earn Her Much In Respect, Did It? So Much For Her Doing "Exceptionally" Well.
@@rebeccalee1065 True, but others like her died diseased, starving, and poor. She did well just for the fact she made a good life for herself and died with some dignity. She was a Jewish woman, and nothing would have earned her the respect of people to begin with in that era.
@@juneroberts5305 Tell Me, What Should Mean More To A Woman...Their Dignified Honor And Respect? Or, The Amount Of Wealth They Had Obtained In This World (Through IMMORAL Means)?
Agree!A fighter on those scores..!
@@rebeccalee1065 Only you can choose for you, & others can choose for themselves.
She may have made a lot of money, but how heartless are you to leave your children.
Men do it all the time...
@@lodnisroub And so what? Does that make it right?
She was a narcissist. Manipulated people and didn’t care about her children.
The kids may have been better off without her given her personality.
Petra Hyklová that does not make it right for a woman to do it. It’s wrong either way.
What I really like about your videos is your knack for presenting the positive aspects of peoples lives, without avoiding the sadness. In today's world we are bombarded with negativity; you are a refreshing balance of reality (the positive and the negative) that we need.
What a fascinating story about this courtesan's life. I hadn't heard of her but I was riveted to every word of your story about her. I wonder what happened to her son and daughter and did they know about their mother's lifestyle. I was surprised that she ended up a wealthy woman because most courtesan's end up penniless. Great investigating of this story!
Glad you enjoyed! Her kids died around 20ish of I'm correct
They probably heard at least some amount of rumors about her, especially from their fathers’ or their fathers’ families
@@bannanaberryboard It's sad because we don't know what all the children were told. For instance, you know how during breakups/divorces (ugly ones) typically if children are involved, families take sides. Like the father's parents would take his side and vice versa. So that also means that whatever information they did receive on her, it could have been skewed out of anger, pain, ect, since we know that her first child was taken in by her Paternal Grandparents and raised.
I hope not. I hope they got the full true story. I believe that everybody should know where/who they come from, if they choose!
Her story reminds me of the Mexican telenovela “Teresa”, perhaps they were inspired by Esther’s own life.
Rubi too!
She wasn't made for motherhood or marriage. She was all about me, myself, and I.
Women are not a one size fits all, some want a family, others weren't meant to embark down that path. And there is nothing wrong with that. Nor is there anything wrong with putting yourself first. Some do this in the most literal sense and others do this by choosing the nuclear family, because it is their desire in life. Both are admirable.
Typical Narcissist. Constantly need fresh supply of many romantic partners, can be involved with many at the same time, with their need for others' resources for them to live off of. Most of them abandon their children or become very distant parents. Children get in their way of them having a good time, cost money that they would rather spend on themselves and may also take the spotlight off them.
"Reddish hair under her arms"....?
I need to get some pointers from her. Lol 😂
the fact that she discarded both her children seriously calls her moral fiber in question fo rme
Yes! Thank you. My thoughts exactly .
Exactly. You made them, their your responsibility. Dont want responsibility, dont have em.
@Sherry Ramirez Would you rather she keep two unwanted children? Just because you don't want children does not make you immoral. Unwanted children are often abused. This was a time period when it was against the law to use birth control *and* to refuse your husband. She did what was best for those children at the time.
@@sandra-jones i have two grown children thank you very much. But i would ask do you think that they babies deserve to be murdered before they even have a chance to live? Yes abuse happens but we cannot use that as an excuse for murder.
@@sandra-jones I guarantee you she didn't do it out of the kindness and loving heart of a mother, lol. She was a selfish sociopath who just needed her kids out of the way. They sure were better off without her.
Sad to leave her children but yet,they were better off without her.. boy she had some crazy courage..and in Hebrew Chutzpah..Cheek!!!
Stella David being a ruthless good digger has nothing to do with “Hebrew Chutzpah”. Have some standards for goodness sakes.
Fransn zol esn zayn laybe!
LOL she sure did well said, Stella David.
Sbe probably didn't want those kids, was probably forced to have them, glad to leave them behind. I too give her kudos for being a bad broad who took no prisoners! Go girl!
Wow these women knew how to make stuff happen. Money. Money. Money.
Looking at photos of her online.. her bed is incredible!! Very “The birth of Venus”
Ahhh I wanted to know what happened when the new wife found her body in the attic!!! 😲
She called the cops
Talk about skeletons in the closet.
Yes!!! How could he end the video without discussing that!!! Plus his dates are off; he said she and the count moved to the mansion in 1877 but he also said he remarried in 1877. Yet she died in 1884 🤔
@@erikrungemadsen2081Always check your attics too!
The image in the thumbnail is of another great courtesan - La Belle Otero.
I imagine she grew up very poor and was determined not to be poor again so I understand why she did what she did. But to leave your kids behind is something else entirely.
You pronounce these names so perfectly.
Oh. My. God. That letter to her new husband - if literally word for word what she said - was absolutely BRUTAL. She may not have had a title but lord she was a Queen. ( 7:09 for the curious!)
Thnks
Not a beauty at all! It amazes me how men fell for her charms. Clever woman indeed.
She gave lavish parties, was selective of her audience, used shock value much like Kardashians today to attract attention and was a fashionista. In the day and age of Christian values and humble and discreet feminine behavior La Paiva among other courtesans were a sweet forbidden fruit. I can only imagine pictures do not do her justice as courtesans had different body language when they walked, looked at the men or simply went for a drive.
Neacrochet has to be reasonabley good in bed but for sure very greedy.
Some of the most notable women in history have been described as not beautiful. Cleopatra was one. You see her face on coins minted in Egypt. They show her as not even very pretty. Fascinating is a better description than beauty. Beauty fades but a clever and fascinating woman can keep a man devoted. La Paiva kept her 3rd husband, 11 years her junior, devoted to her until she died in her 60s.
Beauty is shallow, being fascinating is not surface.
@@adriannespring8598 And lasts longer.😃
Some lives are best forgotten.
OMG! WOW she was something! Great Video! IG models now are doing the same thing😁
Thanks 😌
Very, very interesting. Her life story reads like a great example of what can happen when sheer determination meets seizing the opportunity. She just went for it, didn’t she? Amazing story 😊
I agree!
It's a tale old like the world. People, who miss "old good days", meaning longing for times of purity, innocence and virtuous people, should watch your channel religiously. Maybe then they would change their views on history, and would stop telling stories of greatness, honour, and VALUES. There's nothing wrong with reliving good memories or being into retro esthetics, but using this as point of reference to accuse young people, and paint them as lost generation, it just exposes lack of historical research, and lack of contact with material world. Material as in physical. Sorry for my little rant. Love your channel, it's really important to tell this stories, so other can listen and be resistant to "good old day" propaganda that is used in political brainwashing. Disclaimer: I don't claim sex work, or the past, is bad. I just mean that it wasn't like establishment wants us to think, and by that aim for national greatness, purity, etc.
6:10 - considering Albino Francisco de Araújo de Paiva was Portuguese name, you are not only mispronouncing his name by swapping ú and a as you speak, but also making the j sound as H which is a Spanish, not a Portuguese pronunciation, the correct sound reminding of one that is present i.e. in French.
she must have been great with languages to do so well socially wherever she went. unless she was so stunning just blinking at people was enough to do it...i wouldn't know what that's like :-)
it's also strange that in her letter she says both that she's been completely honest with him and then says she's a horrible person who he could introduce to no one. it seems like she probably left that out. but perhaps if she really believed in her honesty it made her self image more tolerable. self delusion seems common enough in the highest levels of our society, well, either that or just lying...it's hard to know what goes on truly in people's minds. all we can do is try to avoid them and hope they don't acquire wealth or power
I think she just meant that everyone knew she was a prostitute, therefore he really could not introduce her as his wife, on the same level as his friends.
Many of these Courtesans appear to be just out for the money. Like they are doing everything they can for it just like the robbers in the western United States during that time. The difference was these women were allowed to do it. She was no different and left a lot of heart ache along the way. She indeed got what she wanted. Very interesting life. Thanks FL 💕
Thanks for watching 🙂
I love this story I remember reading that her husband had her pickled after death and she was placed in a giant glass jar in a tower of the Silesian castle so he could admire her for the rest of his life
Too Bad For Him...I Doubt That Same Kind Of Love Was Reciprocated On Her End (For Him).
Rebecca Lee people were so weird in those Days 😬😬
Ew. Lol creepy.
@@rebeccalee1065 you really do hate her, don't you?
@@sisuguillam5109 I Don't Hate Her... I Just Don't Respect Women Like Her. Besides, What's So Decent About Being A Prostitute?
omg that "detailed description" was intense
While I do not agree with all of her choices she was clearly a very smart woman. With so few choices available to her she managed to use the only assets she had to obtain the best life possible for herself.
The count was Baron de Rothschild. If you mention that it gives people context. One of the most influential families of the twentieth century.
But the woman on the thumbnail is not La Paiva, it's La Belle Otero in a byzantine costume, cut from a Reutlinger postcard, i think. Still a great video! Thank you for all your hard work!
how could you leave your own baby?
she left both kids omg. I question her character now
Wonder if her children ever reunited with her or shared in her wealth?!
I believe not
You have a good voice for narrating and presenting a programme.
I agree. I love listening to his voice as he narrates.
She must have had something. She wasn’t handsome nor charming. Idk. Clever manipulator.
That was a wonderful, and very interesting video. I would like to see a follow up about the husband's new wife and how she found the corpse in the attic. That would freak me out. 😯😟
Thanks! I think there's not too much information on it sadly :/

men abandoned their children all the time during that era, why is it worse when she does it ? she rose her ranks to astounding levels, its so easy for others to judge her
So u are telling what those men did is right
shut up

Stay safe.💜

Smart woman. Wonder how the second wife reacted to the corpse in the attic?
Who knows ! I couldn't find where she was buried so maybe they did!
Are You People INSANE?! What Is So "Intelligent" About A Woman Selling Her Body??

Even though this is a year old I love hearing about how other women lived in that particular era.. it’s fascinating to me. Keep up the good work and after I’m done watching this, I’m going to your channel to see what else you have😂
Damn!!! Sis the 🐐

Do men spoil women with these gifts anymore?
We used to

Many women who can do this have marine spirits moving through them which is why some can finesse and some can not and why some can get multiple men to marry them as well as leave their children behind.
They're wicked human beings infested with demons.

Secure the bag sis! 😂😂
She was smart 💅🏻
@@lavish_1717 yeah let's glorify a narcissist...

I KNEW she was a TAURUS LOL, love it!!.
Man I got that vibe too LOL soon as she said Diamonds over men LOL
Thanks so much F L,

Very informative and interesting, and so well read.

@@lynnhoffman247 Most African societies did so since 1500 BC, armpits and bikini hair, women and men alike. Waxing was invented in Egypt, and we still use the same recipe today, lemon and sugar (people of the time used also honey). Under arm hair were seen as highly unhygienic and even the poorest people did wax, useless fact lol, just wanted to throw it out there since a lot of people think waxing is a patriarchal present day concept. It has even religious guidelines in certain religions , so to me not waxing or hearing about it is out of the norm completely from what I have seen growing up, family , neighbors, my brothers etc. As adolescents we would "gather" and torture each other with homemade wax lol. My brothers still come to me for smooth armpits and we are all in our thirties

It's too bad the writers don't understand history through their sexist view. A woman back then didn't get to leave an abusive husband and just take her kids with her, yet this doofus keeps making it out like she just gallavanted off and left her kids to join sex work for funtimes. Sheesh. Sexism galore.
What a horrible woman. She doesn't deserve admiration for being selfish abandoning her children and using men.

Thank you for another interesting story. I look forward to your posts.
You guys can crap on her all you want but you haven't lived her life.
The name of this woman and her colorful lifestyle has come up many times in my world, because of my interest and study of important jewelry. This audio biography, which you have produced
is the most I have been able to learn about her so far. From the pictures of her and descriptions of her personality it is difficult to understand the extent of her success. And yet it all seems to be true, which makes it even more fascinating.
What is name of a young black
Golfer that was discovered to
20 mistress and a wife and
Child . Many of women stated
He bought them burritos for
Lunch only ? What a losers 😂
His parents didn't teach him the finer ways of life. He was a busy man off the golf course. Look how it went for him. Destroyed and almost killed himself by his own arrogance and entitlement.
His Nanny Ex-Wife on the other hand made out very well.
Sex and the City, 1850's prequel.
Sounds like a real-life Scarlet O’Hara - only more daring and with bad cards dealt from the start. She was born poor and female in a patriarchal society that robbed women of opportunities for financial independence and which coerced them into adopting roles of mothers / wives. Yet, she rejected that and still rose to the top. I do wonder how much of this video is based on hearsay of her outraged contemporaries and how much of it involves actual details from her life. She sounds like a fascinating character either way.
Poor, female, and Jewish. That was another big strike against her, as well
Not sure if flying from one spouse to another with no lasting emotional connections is making it to the top. People are still social creatures… also, no matter how hard are the cards dealt that are to you, you don’t abandon innocent children, that makes you just as horrible as all the other humans you hate.
Jesus, a bathtub with three tabs, one for milk, one for champagne, and one for water..
Oh please!🙄 There are so many of these in NYC...
What happened to her children??? Like she never tried to contact them?
its one thing to leave your kids for finances, but the fact that she never sent money out or sent for them once she was established is disgusting
@Sally Ann who hurt you
Mannn these women were true blue man eaters... True blue restless souls / she-wolves😄
" Sometimes being a bitch, is all a woman has to hold onto." SK
Oh no what happened next, the new wife finds her up in the loft then what happens aaaaaarrrrrr? Need another film to see what happened!?
what a Queen, apart from abandoning her kids part.
Why is leaving the kids such a big deal for people? Its not like she left them starving on the roadside. I think leaving them behind is preferable to being stuck with a mother that doesn't want you.
M K THANK YOU! It was better than being for both her and her children that she left them! It was a crappy situation, but it was preferable to the alternatives.
At multiple points in the video 2:26 one of them, you used a photo of another famous courtesan, belle otero, also a beauty and dancer for the folie Berger
She stated she "loved her diamonds like they were her kids"....but abandoned her own kids.. And the weirdos getting off on the red hair under her arms... 🙄.
Lol, you're right!!
Ah! Une des Grandes Horizontales!
I’m so glad I found your channel, I love reading about historical biography and your channel as taught me so much! thank you! 😊
Thanks very much :)
So she was a narcassist
@Sally Ann Narcissist is an English adjective to describe someone who is solely about them and only care for there own wellbeing!

I wonder what did she do after the banker deceived her with the counterfeit money, I wonder did she seek revenge.
Hope so.
