In a new documentary titled “Hillary”, former president Bill Clinton says he had an extramarital affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky to “manage my anxieties.

Everybody’s life has pressures and disappointments, terrors, fears of whatever,” Hillary Clinton’s husband said in justifying seeking distractions to “manage my anxieties for years.”

Those anxieties, he said, were rooted in the pressure of presiding over the highest office of the United States and that the affair was “something that will take your mind off it for a while.

The new documentary is set to stream on Hulu from this Friday.

NYPost reports: Clinton insists in the doc, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, that he is now a “totally different person” than the cheater 20 years ago.

The affair with then-intern Lewinsky led to Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1998, before he was ultimately acquitted.

He admitted that he initially lied to wife Hillary and denied the affair — recalling how he finally had to sit her down and confess when it was too obvious that he was lying.

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 tells the doc.

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 admits that she was “devastated.” “I could not believe it. I was so personally just hurt and I can’t believe this, I can’t believe you lied,” she said.

Hillary described the marriage counseling sessions they went through afterward as “painful, painful discussions.”

Bill called the sessions “one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do but it was necessary.”

She deserved it, Chelsea deserved it and I needed it,” he says.

I feel terrible about the fact that Monica Lewinsky’s life was defined by it, unfairly I think.”

Still, he suggested it was time for Lewinsky to move on.

  1. Nice try But I’ll bet the fact she was young got you horny And since when did it become an affair A quickie was what you told us after getting caught Who’s telling porkies now ? Or are you having anxieties and fears still causing the affair story to bloom ?

  2. When Monica Lewinsky told her friends she was going to DC and “taking along her knee pads” and went into the president’s office and said: “Wanna see my thong?” Well, that was a clear indication she was a slut. And I have never ever used that word for any woman…but, Monica admits her mother TRAINED her to use sex to get ahead in the world. That is why she also seduced one of her college professors…Perhaps she has changed, but as a young woman…she was truly a mess. This in do way excuses Clinton, it just indicates that she was not “miss innocent” but was seeking to use sex to improve her life!!!
