Bill Clinton's greatest fear was losing Chelsea's love
New York | June 22, 2004 2:46:57 PM IST
As former American president Bill Clinton is coming out of the closet with his new book "My Life," he has revealed that more than anything else he was scared that his daughter Chelsea would never be able to forgive him for his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
According to The New York Daily News, Clinton, who has been giving several interviews prior to the June 23 release of his book, said on the American show "60 Minutes," that losing his daughters love was what scared him the most as he admitted to the Monica Lewinsky affair.
"I was afraid that I would lose my daughter's love and respect. You know, my daughter is a remarkable person. But sooner or later, every child learns that his or her parents are not perfect. But this was way beyond that, and it was a big dose to swallow," he said.
Clinton also revealed that lying to his wife was even more painful because she had implicit faith in him. He also said that the night he finally came clean about the affair was the worst in his life.
The report also quoted Clinton as saying that he hated the nick name Slick Willie and that, saying that he had been unable to inhale when asked if he had ever smoked pot had been an inappropriate choice of words, which he now regrets. (ANI)
