“He used to sneak me into his Fifth Avenue apartment in a black suitcase . . . when his wife was away,’’ Svetlana Travis Zakharova told The Post in an exclusive interview.
“My knees would be up by my face. When the doorman would ask if he could help, Eliot would say, ‘No, thanks.’ ”
She also told the Post that they did this about 15 times so they could sneak her into Eliot and Silda Spitzer's home.
“When I first met him, he bragged how rich he was. But I didn’t believe him because he had holes in his underwear,’’ she said.
Zakharova, whose now 28, said that Spitzer would complain about another girlfriend and his wife while they met up.
“He told me about problems with his wife. She complained about his drinking. She bought a dog without telling him,” Zakharova said.
He used to take her up to their cabin.
“He used to take me upstate to the farm,’’ Zakharova said. “He cooked for me, omelets, and he would put a potato in the microwave. He was not a good cook.’’
She made about $400,000 during their time together.
