6. Bill & Hillary Clinton

Probably one of the most hyped affairs of the 90’s was the scandal that rocked the entire nation when none other than the most powerful man in the U.S. at the time.

Bill Clinton, was accused of having sexual relations with a White House intern, a 23-year-old Monica Lewinsky.

Though Clinton at first strongly denied having had an affair with Monica, he later came forward and admitted he made a mistake.

“Indeed I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong,” he said in a public speech.

The admission was enough to send him to impeachment proceedings by the U.S. House of Representatives, however the move came 17 votes short of actually removing him from the office.

Hillary also turned the blind eye to the scandal, realizing some things are simply bigger than someone’s momentary lapse of reason.
