Lyndon B. Johnson And Helen G. Douglas

Up next, we have Helen G. Douglas, another former lover of Lyndon B. Johnson. In the past, she said that he had more women by accident than John F. Kennedy did on purpose! She was an actress who later served on the congress. The affair was an “open secret” among members of the Washington press and Capitol Hill insiders. We are keeping our fingers crossed that Elizabeth Moss can play her in a movie!

Grover Cleveland And Maria Crofts Halpin

During his presidential campaign, a report came out that Grover Cleveland had an affair and had a lovechild that he was supporting in the financial sense of the word. He admitted that, a decade ago, he had a relationship with a woman while he was still a bachelor. However, he also said that she was already committed before she gave birth and had been with more men. Even though he was unsure that it was his child, he gave the boy a good home and supported him. Maria Halpin told a different story. According to her, it had been non-consensual and violent. She said that she did not wish to ever see Grover Cleveland again, although she eventually came to him for help when she fell pregnant. Sadly, they took her son away and locked her up in an institution for no good reason. What a horrible story.
