Former President Bill Clinton’s new memoir, Citizen, has sparked outrage among two women who accused him of sexual assault. Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick have vehemently criticized Clinton’s claims that he has apologized to all the women he has “wronged” over the years.
In his memoir, Clinton stated that he had apologized to Monica Lewinsky and all the other women he had wronged. However, Jones and Broaddrick have dismissed his words as self-serving and insincere attempts to rewrite history and protect his legacy.
Jones, who accused Clinton of sexual harassment in 1991, expressed her disbelief at his claims, stating that she has never received an apology from him personally. Despite accepting a settlement from Clinton in 1994, Jones maintains that she would only consider his apology if it were sincere and meaningful.
Broaddrick, who accused Clinton of raping her in 1978, also denounced his claims of apology. She recounted an encounter with Clinton in which he allegedly apologized to her in a manner that she deemed insincere and politically motivated.
Both women have called for Clinton to apologize to all the women he has abused, raped, and sexually assaulted before he deserves to write another book. They have expressed their outrage at what they perceive as Clinton’s attempts to cover up his past misconduct with empty apologies.
The controversies surrounding Clinton’s history of sexual misconduct continue to haunt him, with Jones and Broaddrick refusing to let him off the hook with superficial apologies. As they demand accountability and genuine remorse from the former president, Clinton’s attempts to rewrite history may face further scrutiny and backlash from his accusers.
