Gennifer Flowers (born January 24, 1950) is an American model and actress who obtained notoriety after revealing a sexual encounter with U.S. President Bill Clinton. In January 1998, Clinton testified under oath that there had been a sexual encounter between Flowers and him. Before Clinton's presidency, she posed nude for Penthouse magazine and was an actress in two films and one TV show.
Flowers came forward during Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign, stating that she had a 12-year relationship with him.
After Clinton denied having a relationship with Flowers on 60 Minutes, she held a press conference in which she played tape recordings she had secretly made of phone calls with Clinton. Clinton subsequently apologized publicly to Mario Cuomo for remarks he made about the then-Governor of New York on the tapes. During the press conference, Flowers was famously asked several questions by "Stuttering John" Melendez of the Howard Stern Show if she was planning to sleep with any other candidates before the election, along with if Clinton used a condom and if there ever was a threesome. She responded by laughing at Stuttering John's prank whereas her advisor wanted to ignore him by trying to answer other questions. News reports at the time speculated that the taped phone conversations between Flowers and Clinton could have been doctored; Flowers had sold the original tapes to Star and they were never lab-tested. Clinton aides James Carville and George Stephanopoulos backed this claim as well. Stephanopoulos later claimed in a 2000 interview with journalist Tim Russert that "Oh, it was absolutely his voice, but they were selectively edited in a way to – to create some – some impression."
