Former US President Bill Clinton, in a new 4-hour documentary called Hillary on Hulu, which is based on the journey of his wife Hillary Clinton, made a surprising statement by touching upon his affair with his White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The affair which eventually led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives remained to be the talk of the town. Now, in the documentary, Clinton confessed that the relationship with Monica was to help in manage his anxieties. He further added that he felt terrible about it and said what happened is inexcusable.

"Everybody's life has pressures and disappointments, terrors, fears or whatever. It takes your mind off of it for a bit. I went and sat on the bed and talked to her. I told her exactly what happened, when it happened. I said I feel terrible about it. We've been through quite a bit in the last year years. I said I have no defense, it's inexcusable what I did," Bill told.

He further told that after avoiding it for quite some time, he has to confess the same before Hillary and daughter Chelsey Clinton. Hillary, in the documentary, told that she was 'devastated' by the admission and the two had to go through years of marital counseling after the same. Even though the counseling was the hardest thing he had ever done, Bill said both Hillary and Chelsea deserved and needed it. He also admitted to having felt bad that Monica Lewinsky became defined by that moment.
