The former president's wife Hillary’s made the allegations in 1999 but they are only now published come in a new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lucinda Frank
Bill Clinton was addicted to sex because his mum Virginia Kelley abused him as a child, wife Hillary allegedly told an author.
The former First Lady also blamed the torment for her husband’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, it is claimed.
Hillary’s allegations come in a new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lucinda Franks.
She claims the former US president’s wife told her Kelley hurt her son “in ways you wouldn’t believe”.
Hillary added: “He was abused. When a mother does what she does, it affects you for ever.
“I am not going into it but I’ll say that when this happens in children, it scars you.
"You keep looking in all the wrong places for the parent who abused you.”
Franks claims Hillary made the remarks during an interview in 1999, a year after the Lewinsky affair rocked his presidency.
She decided against revealing the quotes at the time.
But as Hillary, 66, gears up for a likely run for the White House in 2016, a raft of books have been published on her marriage to Clinton, 67 – including Franks’ Timeless: Love, Morgenthau and Me.
This week, Daniel Halper’s book Clinton, Inc. claimed British spooks intercepted Clinton’s steamy sex calls with Lewinsky.
Franks, 68, spoke about his “addiction” to sex in the original interview but Hillary took issue and said: “That’s your word. I would say ‘weakness’.”
Clinton's mother died in 1994.
