Hillary Clinton Finally Talks About Bill's Affair
For the first time since the scandal, Hillary Clinton is opening up about her husband Bill's affair and how it rocked their marriage.
The presidential hopeful talked candidly on "The Tyra Banks Show" about Bill's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
"I never doubted Bill's love for me ever, and I never doubted my faith and my commitment to our daughter and our extended family," she told Tyra in an episode that airs Friday.
She continued, "I really had to dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family."
But did she struggle with feelings of humiliation?
"The momentary feelings-- you know, you are mad, you are really upset, you are disappointed - all of that goes through your mind." she said. "I have found you really shouldn't make decisions in the heat of those moments."
But what does she say to critics who blast that she should have left him?
"I say you have to be true to yourself," Clinton said. "No one story is the same as any other story. I don't know your reality. I can't possibly substitute my judgment for yours. You have to do what is right for you and that may not be what anybody else believes."
