Gennifer Flowers, who enjoyed a lucrative modeling and acting career as well as top book sales following her announcement in 1992, has claimed that Bill Clinton called her as recently as 2005, begging to see her.
Speaking with WGNO, Gennifer Flowers, 62, said was at home alone in Louisiana following her divorce when her phone rang.
“I picked up the phone and it was him,” she told host Susan Roesgen.
“And he wanted to come by my house and talk to me. I was taken aback; that was the last thing I expected.”
Gennifer Flowers added that, even when she refused to allow him to visit, he persisted.
“I said, <<No you can’t come over here>>,” she continued.
“He said, <<I’ll put on a hoodie and I’ll jog up there>> and I said, <<No, I want you to leave me alone>>. And that was that.”
The call allegedly came decades after Gennifer Flowers claimed they had a years-long affair while Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. He later claimed they only ever had one sexual encounter in the 1970s.
But in another bombshell on WGNO, Gennifer Flowers claimed Bill Clinton had in fact discussed revealing the affair in the 1990s as he was struggling to achieve the recognition he needed to win the presidency.
“I made him a household name over night,” Gennifer Flowers told WGNO.
“We had had that discussion. He said, <<My problem right now is that no one knows who I am. I need that name recognition>>.
“He went on to talk about the other candidates and the advantages they had… When my story came out, he was a household name.”
The claims come as Gennifer Flowers appeared on the show in the wake of the David Petraeus sex scandal to discuss life as the mistress of a high-profile man.
“It’s very unfortunate,” Gennifer Flowers said of the Petraeus affair.
“It does really surprise me. But there’s always something like that around the corner.”
To Paula Broadwell, the biographer-turned-mistress of David Petraeus, she said: “Call me Paula! I’ll give you some really good advice… You’d better buck up, it’s going to be one hell of a bull ride.”
Of her own claims about her affair with Bill Clinton, Gennifer Flowers added: “I really thought that coming out and telling the truth would set me free, but it didn’t.”
Gennifer Flowers spoke out in January 1992, as Bill Clinton fought for the White House, and claimed she had had a 12-year affair with the married father of one during his time as governor.
She later released tape recordings she claimed she had secretly made of her and Clinton’s phone calls, although there was doubt over their authenticity.
In 1998, Bill Clinton admitted he had a sexual encounter with Gennifer Flowers and added in his 2004 autobiography My Life that it was only on one occasion in 1977, when he was already married.
Following her claims, Gennifer Flowers posed for Penthouse magazine and featured in independent films and television shows. She said her claims netted her $500,000.
