US presidents Who Faced S** Scandals Before, During, or After Their Time in Office Part VI #shorts #history

"If I don’t have a lay for three days I get a headache."

So said the 35th President of the United States, as recalled by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Although he carefully cultivated the image of the devoted family man, John F. Kennedy was possibly the most prolific philanderer ever to grace the Oval Office.

Dane “Inga Binga” was a long-term girlfriend of JFK whilst he worked in the navy, and was rumoured to be a Soviet spy. Their break-up was driven by Kennedy’s father, who feared the terminal effects this relationship could have on his son’s future political career.

The star of La Dolce Vita and global sex symbol Anita Ekberg was briefly connected with the President.

A running theme of JFK’s affairs was his dalliances with movie stars. One of the more illustrious was Gene Tierney, who Kennedy had an affair with around 1948, when she was still married.

Whilst an intern at the White House, 19-year-old Mimi Alford lost her virginity to the President and engaged in an 18-month affair. A few years ago she revealed the details of their relationship, including that JFK took recreational drugs with her.
