Ford exec ‘slapped, headbutted wife after threatening to torch her $10K bags’

A top executive at Ford was arrested after viciously attacking his wife and threatening to torch her two $10,000 Hermes bags, Michigan police said.

Franck Louis-Victor, 50 — who was hired last year by Ford CEO Jim Farley to head the Ford Next autonomous vehicle division — allegedly slapped, headbutted and hit his wife in the face with a Google Nest Hub device, cops told The Detroit News.

Law enforcement officials said they were called to Louis-Victor’s home in Dearborn over the weekend after a report of a domestic disturbance.

Louis-Victor told the cops he and his wife were in the midst of an argument when he threatened to light her two Hermes luxury bags with a butane torch, according to the police report.

After Louis-Victor’s wife took the bags from him, he then threatened to cause her harm, it was alleged.

Their feud violently escalated with his wife suffering a cut just under her left eye, according to police.


Franck Louis-Victor, 50, of Bloomfield Township, Mich., was charged on Monday with felonious assault and arson-preparation to burn.

“We are aware of what has been reported in the press, but it would be inappropriate to comment on personal matters,” a Ford spokesperson told the Detroit News.
