EXCLUSIVE: Actor TAKES BACK Bombshell Clinton Affair Allegation
VIDEO here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/05/hurley-clinton-affair-tom-sizemore-video_n_4733818.html
Tom Sizemore says the explosive recording in which he alleges a year-long affair between President Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Hurley is "the rantings of a guy that...had a very severe drug problem."
During an exclusive interview with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri on the day the tape was published by Radar Online, Sizemore admitted that it was his voice but said everything in the recording is completely false. Sizemore said the tape was recorded four to five years ago when he was struggling with addiction and "wasn't with very nice people."
"It's not true. I was never at the White House. I've never met Bill Clinton," Sizemore told HuffPost Live. "I'm not denying that I said these things. I don't remember saying them, but it's an old video tape and they're the rantings of a guy...that had a very severe drug problem. Although I said it, none of it is true."

(15,031 posts)I enjoy his acting, though he's somewhat one-dimensional, but to give credence to him without someone else providing his words? Nah. . .

(40,416 posts)Otherwise us bandwidth limited folks have to click through in order to find out what your post is fucking about. It's easy peasy to copy and paste a couple of paragraphs. But I guess it's easier peasier to cut and paste nothing, thereby leaving anybody clicking your thread scratching their heads.
In other words, huh?

And excerpts have been added to the OP above.
p.s. There is no need to use offensive language while trying to state an opinion.

(40,416 posts)And Tom Sizemore -- loved him in Saving Private Ryan -- why is he a credible source here? The guy has serious problems which must degrade his story.
No offense, my friend. Not saying this is false, but there's a stench to it.

(10,820 posts)If I am not mistaken, the OP is about Tom Sizemore recanting his story about Clinton and Hurley. Are you offering that Sizemore's discounting of his own story might be less than credible?
longship
(40,416 posts)Both the original report and the retraction.
And, as I wrote above, I like Tom Sizemore and I appreciate that he's had some problems.
It's an interesting story, but I don't automagically believe everything that's written.
Seems fishy to me. I will wait for another source.
Best regards.

(9,462 posts)speaking on the tape is wholly irresponsible. Even his comments about how Clinton said to Tom, shortly after meeting him to "Give me Hurley's number motherf$$$r" is just absurd. Not to mention by Sizemore's account Bill called her (someone he barely knew, if they had even met) and said "this is your commander-in-chief." C'mon, it's not like Clinton didn't know she was English.
The whole thing doesn't pass the smell test. With even the most basic checking they could have seen that Sizemore was never at the White House during the time mentioned. Ditto Hurley being there. It's worse than bad journalism. I hope someone sues them.

(5,611 posts)I can't believe any so-called news organizations are using notorious gossip and (former I guess) drug addict Sizemore as a source ESPECIALLY SINCE HE STATES THAT THE STORY IS NOT TRUE (apologies for the caps, it is just astounding what will be counted as "news" by certain organizations). Sizemore was trying to sell a memoir or something recently, and it mainly consisted of his tales of his "legendary" sexual exploits, including a long-term affair with Hurley when she was with Hugh Grant. He is a male groupie when it concerns Hurley. He clearly had some bizarre obsession with her -- to the point of entirely inventing a ridiculous, easily refuted story about Hurley and Pres. Clinton.
