Ep 252 | Aired 7/9/2021
Today’s Up In Your Business With Kerry McCoy show is epic! So epic that it had to be edited into a 2-part series.
My guest is Ms. Susan McDougal who, in 1994, was the center of attention in Kenneth Starr’s media-frenzied trial of President Clinton and the Whitewater investigation.
Ms. McDougal’s story is a real-life Shakespearean tragedy; an eye opener into the abuse of judicial power, fake media, and corrupt politics.
Before the interview I read her book, The Woman Who Wouldn’t Talk and must shamefully confess that, even though I lived through the Whitewater era, I really knew no more than the sound bites I heard on TV.
In today’s Part One interview, Susan speaks of her early life as a young lady from a small town who attended Ouachita Baptist College and was swept off her feet by the flamboyant, worldly, and well-read campus professor, Mr. Jim McDougal.
After a whirlwind courtship filled with impressive parties and introductions to important politicians and successful businessmen, Susan found herself married to Jim, a man much older than herself, who unknowingly to both of them at the time, suffered from a mental illness that would later be diagnosed as bipolar disorder.
In next week’s Part Two, you will listen as she describes jail life, tears up as she speaks of her heartfelt concern for the lost women in prison, and learn what the term “Diesel Therapy” means and how it was tortuously used against her.
