The man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer has been “mentally ill for a long time,” his former partner said in a new interview.

Oxane Taub, who calls herself “Gypsy” and is a prominent public nudity activist in the Bay Area, said she has known accused maniac David DePape for more than 20 years and is the mother of her children. .


“He is mentally ill. She’s been mentally ill for a long time,” Taub told ABC7 on a call from the California Institution for Women, where she is serving time after being convicted last year of kidnapping a 14-year-old boy near her Berkeley high school. .

Taub said DePape, with whom she raised his two sons and his daughter until he left about seven years ago, began to become entangled in conspiracy theories in recent months.


Oxana “Gypsy” Taub says her ex-partner, David DePape, has been “mentally ill for years.”

She described DePape, 42, as “in very bad shape” when he returned home after being missing for a year.

“He thought he was Jesus,” Taub told the station. “He was constantly paranoid, thinking that people were after him. And he took a good year or two to get back to, you know, being kind of normal.”


David DePape’s friends say he has been living in a school bus parked outside Oxana “Gypsy” Taub’s home in California.

Taub was asked if her ex ever showed aggressiveness towards politicians or if she had extreme political beliefs.

“Well, when I met him, he was only 20 years old, he had no experience in politics, he was very aligned with my views and I have always been very progressive,” she said.

Taub told the news outlet that he “absolutely” admires House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying he extends his “deepest apologies” to the California Democrat and her husband “for what a terrible and tragic thing that happened.” “.

DePape faces attempted murder and other charges after he allegedly broke into the couple’s San Francisco home on Friday and attacked 82-year-old Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

After breaking into the house, DePape allegedly yelled “Where’s Nancy?” before trying to tie up her husband, saying they were going to wait “until Nancy got home.”

The speaker at the time was in Washington, DC.

Nancy Pelosi said her family is “heartbroken and traumatized” by the attack on her husband, whose skull was fractured.

“Yesterday morning, a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me, and viciously attacked my husband Paul,” she wrote in a letter to her congressional colleagues on Saturday. “Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the deadly attack on our dad.”
