2. Juanita Broaddrick
Bill’s next victim became a household name in 1999 when “Jane Doe #5” identified herself in a Dateline interview. Broaddrick’s tearful recounting of her rape by the then-Arkansas attorney general deepened an already national scandal.
At 35 years old, Broaddrick had volunteered for Bill’s 1978 gubernatorial campaign. A meeting was set to meet in the lobby of Broaddrick’s hotel until Bill suggested a venue change to avoid the press: her hotel room.
After a few minutes of shop talk, Bill kissed her without consent. She resisted, reminding that she was married. But he persisted, bit her lip and pushed her down on the bed. Her repeated requests to stop were rejected. His final words to her as he put on his sunglasses and grabbed for the door, “You better get some ice on that,” referring to her swollen lip.
Weeks later, Broaddrick says she was approached by Hillary Clinton at a rally and intimidated by Hillary Clinton to keep quiet. She said Hillary thanked her for “everything [she] does for Bill,” and repeated it with a cold, hard stare and an extra tight grip on her hand: “Everything you do for Bill.”
