Hillary Clinton has said that staying married to a serial cheat is ‘not for everybody’, as she discusses courage and grit for her new TV series.
The former Secretary of State is seen in the trailer for Gutsy, which airs on Apple TV+ on September 9, traveling the country with her daughter, Chelsea, and speaking to inspiring women.
Among those they meet are Goldie Hawn, Kim Kardashian, Jane Goodall and Megan Thee Stallion.
One clip shows Clinton, 74, in conversation with Reverend Whittney Ijanaten, a UCLA chaplain and wedding officiant, who specializes in LGBTQ marriages.
Ijanaten remarks: ‘You have a marriage that has been on public display since the beginning. You said the gutsiest thing you ever did was stay in your marriage.’
Clinton, who married Bill in 1975 and stood by him through multiple affairs – most notoriously that with Monica Lewinsky, which began in 1995 – agrees that staying with him was ‘gutsy’.
But, she adds: ‘That doesn’t mean that’s right for everybody.’

Ijanaten later told Entertainment Weekly: ‘It was really nice to be human with someone who has just been, like, supernatural.
‘It wasn’t Rev. Whittney to Secretary Clinton, it was woman to woman — I want to know how was it that you were able to stay?
‘I was very grateful for the connection, for what they saw in me and how our conversation, once it got together, could be some magic.’
The trailer also shows Kardashian talking about prison reform, and Goodall talking about environmentalism.
Clinton says the series aims ‘to shine a light on women who inspire us to be bolder and braver.’

The series is a spin-off from their best-selling 2019 book, The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience.
Megan Thee Stallion is seen remarking: ‘You’re not going to break me down. You’ll get worn out before I do.’
Goodall tells them: ‘Every single person makes an impact on the planet every single day. We can choose what impact we make.’
Clinton also speaks to Amy Schumer, author Glennon Doyle and her soccer player wife Abby Wambach, and Gloria Steinem.
