Abraham Lincoln And Joshua Speed

In 1837, Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed met while he was a candidate for the Illinois legislature. The two of them became roommates when Lincoln sublet Speed’s apartment. For four years, the two men shared a bed. A lot of people questioned the sexuality of the president for this, and it remains a point of contention. Aside from Speed, he was also said to have engaged in an affair with David Derickson, who was his bodyguard. The two of them got into bed together when his wife Mary was not around.

Bill Clinton And Elizabeth Hurley

In 2014, Radar Online ran a story that said that there was a time when Bill Clinton ordered a plane to fetch Elizabeth Hurley so that they can have a rendezvous. This came out after Tom Sizemore said that the former POTUS bullied him into sharing the number of the actress. It is said that this took place sometime in 1998. However, she took to Twitter to deny the claims. She said, “Ludicrously silly stories about me & Bill Clinton. Totally untrue. In the hands of my lawyers. Yawn.”
