Presidential Affairs In American History

It’s been more than four decades, for John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe secret affair but it has been dangling on everyone’s tongue till today. The on-screen luminous legend and a standout artist of the Hollywood industry, Monroe died on August 5, 1962, but she still remains in the heart and memories of people.

Despite those numerous outstanding movies, her alleged relationship with President John F. Kennedy has overshadowed all her works as she happened to grab the public attention to be one of the possible mistresses.

It was also speculated that the rumored couple met at a dinner party held in New York in the honor of JFK. And later in his 45th birthday (ten days before his actual birthday), Monroe sang ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ to JFK in Madison Square Garden and that’s when the spark of the fire began.

She was one of the most highly talked about affairs of John F. Kennedy but she had clearly put her words to the first lady and informed her concerns about the issue. But it was not only John F. Kennedy who had the relationship with Monroe, his brother was also involved with the actress.

From the small town of Arkansans to the Oval Office in Washington D.C, Bill Clinton, 71 have journeyed an admirable career. And he could have tested it once more only if wife Hillary Clinton had been elected the president of United States.

But today we are not talking here about his glorious career; in fact, we are here to tell you about his extramarital affair with Paula Jones. Whether it’s rape accusations by Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey groping accusations, Clinton was always on the headlines for as many negative reasons as much as that of good ones.

In 1991, he allegedly got involved with former Arkansas state employee, Paula Corbin Jones. It was explained that Jones was escorted to one of Arkansas hotel room where Clinton exposed himself and harassed her. Shocked by the incident, she sued President Clinton for sexual harassment which later went on for the out-of-court settlement. 

It definitely came as a surprise to people when the news reports and tabloids claimed that former President John F. Kennedy had an affair with Judith Campbell Exner. Born in New York, she was the daughter of a well-off architect who got married at the age of 18.

When her actor-husband moved into the Hollywood circles, she came into the touch of Frank Sinatra. It was, in fact, Sinatra who introduced Campbell to President Kennedy who later went on to become one of the mistresses of a mob boss.

And over the years, Exner herself has claimed that she supposedly had a relationship with Kennedy, when he was elected president. However, the former aides of Kennedy denied the reports of him having an affair with Mrs. Exner then Judith Campbell. She was also the earliest of JFK lovers who happened to be openly identified.

Lyndon established his image as philanderer long before he became the president of United States. Away from the media and limelight, he was moody, lusty and lecherous who mercilessly insulted the lesser folks. He served the White House for a whole six years but before all the presidency and work happened, he was having a secret affair with former actress and politician Helen Douglas.

She was then a very aspiring actress who was looking forward, to have a great career whereas he was in the Congress. It was also said that he had a number of secret affairs that continued for years and that it had been hidden from everyone. But later wife Lady Bird Taylor revealed that she knew about husband Johnson’s extramarital affair.

Unlike other former presidents, George H.W. Bush was not an obsessive womanizer. Rather, he chooses to have very few coquettish relationships cause he didn’t want to danger his marriage. He was very nice with wife Barbara and he never publicly humiliated her.

But then came Jennifer Fitzgerald who started out as a personal assistant and became much more. When Bush met her for the first time, 42 years old Fitzgerald was divorced. She was working for one of the committee officials and he was the chairman of Republican National Committee.

Truly it was his move to the Beijing from Washington which enhanced the relationship of his with Fitzgerald and quivers his 30 years marriage relationship with Barbara. And later some of the reports claimed that Fitzgerald and Bush shared a cottage in Switzerland during their visit to the country in 1984. Apparently his associates and family came to know about this bond. However, the link-up was never confirmed by any of the parties.

Before she entered the Hollywood industry, Elizabeth Gracen was a celebrated face who gained popularity as a model and later went on to claim the title of Miss Arkansas and Miss America. But that’s not what she is best known for; in fact, she was in the spotlight for her supposed relationship with Bill Clinton.

Clinton who had observed Gracen during Miss America stayed in touch with her when she moved to New York to start her acting career. The former Miss America confessed that she had a one-night stand with Clinton when he was a governor of Arkansas but it was before when he became the president of United States.

Gracen, however, is not so proud of her actions. She believes that what she did back was unethical and that’s not how women should treat another woman for which she has also apologized to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Although it’s been 20 years for the news of Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton affair it still has its consequences to date. We exactly don’t know when it all started but on October 23, 1996, Clinton gave a pleasant hug to Lewinsky at a fundraiser program.And later in 1998, Clinton was prosecuted by the House of Representatives for his alleged affair with White House employee Monica Lewinsky.

In the beginning, he denied the reports of improper behavior or any sexual relationship with the former White House intern but later he was obliged to admit that he was involved in an improper relationship with Lewinsky on the national television.

Clinton then 45 had an affair with 22 years old Lewinsky in 1995. Lewinsky confirmed that she had a sexual relationship with Clinton on 9 different occasions and in between these the former first lady Hillary was also at the White House for a plenty of those.

John F. Kennedy has always loved Hollywood cultures and celebs especially the one with blond hair and gorgeous face. Throughout his ten years of married relationship, Kennedy had numerous sexual encounters with many ladies especially actresses. Then how can he not love the secret crush of generations of male moviegoers, Angie Dickson who stepped in the Hollywood fame as Rat Packs pal gal.

Rumors have been swirled that Dickson had a secret affair with President Kennedy while he was still in the oval office. She met former President at a party held by Pat Kennedy’s sister in Saint Monica. She also went on to join the Democratic convention of 1960.

However, Dickson has never mouth-opened about her relationship with the former president unlike other actresses, but since Hollywood circles knew about the relationship so they went easy on it.

We all know that Bill Clinton has been a man of controversies. During his career, he had a lot of encounter with women’s out of which Gennifer Flowers was one of them. There were allegations that Clinton had an extramarital affair with actor-model and cabaret singer Gennifer Flowers.

Then after she too claimed that she had a 12-year affair with him, after which every tabloids and news source picked up the allegations and made it breaking news.

To counter attack the rumors, Clinton along with wife Hillary appeared in CBS '60 minutes' and shake off the charges. Also in the beginning of the investigation, Clinton kept on denying the claims but in 1998 he was testified under the oath that he had a sexual encounter with Flowers.

John F. Kennedy has always been an iconic President in American history with his remarkable works and of course, the controversies too. Reportedly it was claimed that Kennedy had an affair with White House 19-year old intern Mimi Alford whom he had hand-picked himself.

To everyone’s surprise, Alford loses her virginity to then President Kennedy just on her fourth days as an intern in White House press office. After which she started to travel with Kennedy across different countries on the president’s official trips to accompany him.

That secret affair lasted for eighteen months and when Alford revealed the dark secret to the president, the whole world was stunned and it became one of the famous scandals in the history of America.
