Enjoy.)Former President Bill Clinton was forced to address his affair with Monica Lewinsky in the new Hulu documentary on Hillary Clinton. Bill makes the claim that he had sex with Monica Lewinsky to help “manage my anxieties.” Well, his other victims, Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, just torched him. You’ll love this.
Bill Clinton says his high-profile affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky was one of the things during his presidency that he did to “manage my anxieties,” according to The Daily Mail.
In the forthcoming documentary, “Hillary,” Bill recalls how the pressure of being president made him feel like a boxer who had fought 30 rounds and that his fling with Lewinsky was “something that will take your mind off it for a while.”
“Nobody thinks they’re taking a risk,” the former president explains. “That’s not why we do stupid things.”
In 1998, the House of Representatives impeached Clinton over the affair, and he was acquitted by the Senate.
Clinton reveals that he first lied to Hillary about what had happened with the then-White House intern, but he later came clean after it becomes clear he wasn’t telling the truth.
“I went and sat on the bed and talked to her. I told her exactly what happened — when it happened. I said I feel terrible about it,” he says. “We’ve been through quite a bit in the last few years. I said I have no defense, it’s inexcusable what I did.”
Hillary recounts that she was “devastated” by the admission and, at first, refused to believe it was true.
“I could not believe it. I was so personally just hurt and I can’t believe this, I can’t believe you lied,” the twice-failed presidential candidate recalled, adding that subsequent marriage counseling was “painful.”
The decisions were “one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but it was necessary,” said the former president. “She deserved it, Chelsea deserved it, and I needed it.”
Clinton then apologized to Lewinsky in the four-hour film, saying he felt “terrible” that the affair will follow her for her entire life.
“I feel terrible about the fact that Monica Lewinsky’s life was defined by it, unfairly I think,” he says, before suggesting that she move on from the controversy. “Over the years I’ve watched her trying to get a normal life back again, but you’ve got to decide how to define normal,” he said.
Well, so much for the revised version of history. Bill’s other victims had something to say about these revelations.
“What in the Hell? On the next episode will he share why he raped,” tweeted Juanita Broadderrick. One of the former president’s other victims, Paula Jones saw Broadderrick’s post and tweeted, “I know, RIGHT! Bill would get sex anyway he could…from a willing participant or forcing himself on women! He admitted he’s a sex addict!”

As of this writing, Lewinsky has been quiet. Lewinsky was a 21-year-old recent college graduate from Los Angeles when she began working at the White House as an unpaid intern in July 1995.
Lewinsky revealed that between August to October, the pair shared a number of “flirtatious encounters.” However, things escalated in November 1995 during the federal government shutdown at a small staff birthday party.
Lewinsky said:
I realized that the top… of my underwear had been showing, my thong underwear. And I thought, ‘Well, I’ll up the game. I knew he was walking out of a room. And instead of putting my trousers up, like I would have done in any other incidence, I didn’t. It was unnoticeable to everybody else in the room, but he noticed…
I just remember him asking me questions… Where did I go to college, things like that. I don’t think at that point in my life my heart had ever beat as fast. I blurted out, ‘You know, I have a crush on you.’ And he laughed and smiled and asked me if I wanted to go to the back office. And I did.
According to Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton’s attention started during a government shutdown. It doesn’t sound like he was having a ton of “anxiety,” but he had some free time on his hands. In fact, no one is buying that his affair with a young impressionable intern deviated from his usual M.O.
Paula Jones hit the nail on the head: “Bill would get sex anyway he could.” Whether that meant forcing himself on Juanita Broadderrick and allegedly raping her, or pushing Jones up against a wall in the Oval Office, Bill Clinton is the type of misogynist and sexual predator as his good friend Harvey Weinstein. And the real only “anxiety” he has ever had is getting caught.
