"I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Bill Clinton
Scandals are everywhere and they can affect anybody. They are not the sole preserve of politicians, sports stars and celebrities. Most of us have a skeleton or two hiding in the closet, and that is exactly where we want them to stay - because once a secret is exposed, everybody has an opinion.
"I have always wanted to be liked and respected." O. J. Simpson
Disgraceful behaviour and broken reputations, immoral actions and salacious stories - a scandal can engulf anybody. From royalty to regular folk, history repeatedly highlights the dangerous attraction of power and money - not forgetting the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, of course. And when a scandal unfolds, people are desperate to learn all the juicy details.
"I have been silly, very foolish. What else can I say?" Jeffrey Archer

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." Oscar Wilde
