A Hulu documentary explores the life of the former first lady and former US presidential candidate. She says the bravest thing she has ever done was forgive her husband after that episode.
There, amid political anecdotes, family stories and reflections on her defeat against Donald Trump, she recalled how she experienced her husband, Bill Clinton's, affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, which became a global sc--dal in 1998. “I was destroyed And apart from her personal pain, she couldn't believe that she had lied to me,” she said.
She also said that, outraged, she stopped talking to her husband for several months and forced him to confess everything to her daughter, Chelsea, because she didn't want the story to catch her by surprise. Of her decision to forgive him, Hillary explained that “it was the bravest thing I've ever done.”
In the four-episode production, Bill Clinton accepts her mistake, but tries to justify it: “These are things I did to try to calm my anxiety for years. Now I am a totally different person.”
The #MeToo movement has just scored another great victory with the case against film producer Harvey Weinstein. The man, one of the most powerful in Hollywood, was found guilty a month ago of raping and assaulting aspiring actress Jessica Mann and production assistant Miriam Haleyi.
Many believed that he had gotten her cheap, because the jury acquitted him of the charge of predator, the most serious of all. But this Wednesday a judge handed down his sentence and it seems that in the end he will spend much of what remains of his life behind bars.
In total, Weinstein will spend 23 years in prison. And since he is already 67, he would only come out at 90. Therefore, at the hearing in which the decision was read to him, the man seemed worried, said that he was afraid of never seeing his children again and that he was “disappointed” in his country. Surely, the more than 80 women he harassed think otherwise.
