Marilyn Monroe, Monica Lewinsky and 5 more star mistresses who ruined their chosen ones' lives

At first glance, it seems that a mistress, unlike a wife, does not play such an important role in a man's life. However, the examples of these women show that at all times mistresses could not just influence the lives of famous chosen ones, but also destroy them.

It is impossible not to remember the Egyptian Empress. Many men were ready to lose their lives in order to spend the night with Cleopatra. Everyone hoped to impress the queen so as to survive. But the rule was immutable — after the night lovers were executed.

The tsarina herself was the mistress of Julius Caesar. The emperor was crazy about Cleopatra and wanted to help her take the Egyptian throne. However, he was so absorbed in his feelings for the beauty and someone else's war that he did not notice the plot being prepared against him. Caesar was killed, and Cleopatra immediately had an affair with his friend and successor Mark Antony.

Many in the UK still consider Camilla Parker-Bowles a separatist, because of which Prince Charles broke up with his wife. His wife Diana was a popular favorite, the "queen of human hearts", and therefore the dissolution of marriage with her caused a huge scandal. The public was on the side of the princess.

Although Camilla and Charles knew each other long before his marriage, the Crown Prince really loved Parker-Bowles. On the day of the wedding, he cried because he had to marry the one that suits him in status. For the first time in his marriage, Charles tried to work on the relationship, but after a few years he realized that he was absolutely unhappy. The divorce and the open betrayal of the heir to the throne were a huge reputational blow for the royal family.

Now Charles and Camilla are happily married, and even Elizabeth II accepted her son's chosen one, but he had to go through a lot to finally become happy.

Kristen Keeler came from the outback to conquer the catwalks of London at just 15 years old. But there were difficulties with the career of a model, and the girl had to perform in a cabaret. There she met the influential doctor Ward, who was familiar with many high-ranking men.

So the girl simultaneously began a relationship with the British Minister of War John Profumo and the Soviet intelligence officer Evgeny Ivanov. Kristen could have hidden her connections for a long time, if not for another fan of hers who staged a shooting at Ward's house.

The scandal could not be avoided: the Minister of War had to resign from his post, and the current situation undermined people's confidence in the politician's cabinet, and he lost the next election. The Soviet intelligence officer left the country with a scandal. And Kristen herself became a celebrity and for a long time fueled interest in herself with the help of this scandal.

The sex symbol of the twentieth century, Marilyn Monroe, excited the minds of many men. One of them was US President John F. Kennedy. Their romance is still shrouded in mystery. Fans of the actress are still wondering what connected "Mr. President" with the talented actress.

Despite the fact that the married politician has always had affairs on the side, it was the rumors about his connection with Monroe that caused a big scandal. And the high point of tension was the moment when, on the anniversary of the head of state, Marilyn performed a remade song Happy birthday to you. Then no one had any doubts that celebrities are linked by romantic relationships.

Exner is another Kennedy mistress on this list. The girl was introduced to the senator and at that time presidential candidate by her lover, the legendary musician Frank Sinatra.

In her autobiography, Judith later admitted that she became the chosen one of the 35th President of the United States for almost two years. And although the public got used to the infidelities and romances of the then president on the side, the published memoirs and the subsequent connections of Exner with the major mafiosi of America cast a shadow on the reputation of the head of state.

In 1992, a huge scandal broke out around the name of this girl — everyone found out about her affair with Woody Allen, who was her adoptive father.

Sun-yi is 35 years younger than the famous director, and this fact has been widely discussed in the media. Because of the scandal, Woody Allen's reputation suffered greatly, he was even forbidden to see his children. Nevertheless, now Previn and the director are married and happy together.

Monica was an intern at the White House. There she met Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States. The young girl's affair with the American leader lasted two years and ended in a huge scandal that almost cost Clinton the post of head of state.

At some point, the girl blabbed to her friend about the connection with the president, and she recorded her revelations on a dictaphone and later passed the recording to the prosecutor. Clinton's rating dropped instantly, and George Bush became president in the next election.
