Gershon’s lawyers and her publicist (Mara Buxbaum - a partner at ID Public Relations) claim that Vanity Fair journalist Todd Purdum’s insinuations are lies and “irresponsible journalism” – a tough and hard line and Buxbaum says that “we are demanding a retraction.”

The letter from Gershon’s lawyers can be found here.

Gershon, an actress who appeared in “Showgirls” and “P.S. I Love You” and President Clinton were both outraged and offended by the article. Turns out it was written by Todd Purdum who is married to former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Meyers and he’s defending his article on CNN’s “The Situation Room” saying that he was “”very careful to say there is no clear-cut evidence that President Clinton has done anything improper.” Adding:

“I reject the notion that I’m making an insinuation. But I’m very comfortable quoting the people I quote because I know who they are, and I know that they are very senior people who have known President Clinton for a very long time and work for him at very high levels.”

Where there’s smoke, there must be fire. And we all know Clinton’s penchant for sexy brunettes…. (OK fine, he likes anything with a vagina, but you know what I mean…)
