Bill Clinton Nude Photo Leaked By Anonymous? Fake President Clinton Naked Pic With Prostitute Fools Twitter [Hoax]

On Monday evening, a photo claiming to show former President Bill Clinton in a state of nakedness — without showing frontal nudity — was posted to Twitter. However, those curious enough to right-click on the photo and search Google for copies of the image soon learned that it was actually a part of an art exhibit, as seen on the page explaining the project by Gosee News Services.

The caption of the photo read, “Hi Bill Clinton, Love #Anonymous.” That’s all it took for the alleged nude photo of Clinton to go viral, with the photo in that tweet alone having been liked more than 11,000 times — and retweeted nearly 11,000 times.

Warning: The photo contains imagery that might be offensive and can be viewed via Twitter here.

Soon, comments about the photo that some assumed was a recent photo of Bill — a photo that plenty of people on Twitter claimed was a leaked photo of former President Clinton caught with a prostitute — began making waves on social media.

Titled “No one was asked for permission,” the art project from 2013 explored the work of Alison Jackson, an artist who recreated realistic-looking scenes with celebrities. The full photo in question shows the fake Bill getting back massage favors from an unknown buxom blonde as Hillary Clinton appears on TV.

On social media, folks are having Photoshop fun with the photo, placing Hillary’s red “I’m with her” arrow in place of her husband’s phallic parts, making the arrow sit up at attention.

But it’s all fake, as the below description of the art project reveals.

“Prince Harry full frontal, his mother Diana, Queen of Hearts, lovingly sticks up her middle finger, the Queen in her most private of moments, Camilla, Bin Laden, William and Kate … Alison Jackson really didn’t ask anyone for permission. Alison Jackson sees the ‘stars’ drop their guard – and they aren’t asked for permission beforehand either. As for example at the British Royals’ NYE celebrations, where the monarchy and celebrities work hard and play harder.

“We see Bill Clinton at dubious appointments – but always under the watchful eye of his First Lady. We accompany Lady Gaga running her daily errands, Bin Laden touching up his roots and Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace, vanishes before our very eyes. Nothing and no one is safe from Alison – just as long as he or she is famous.

“About : Alison Jackson is a contemporary artist who explores the cult of celebrity – an extraordinary phenomenon of our age made possible by the wide availability of photographic images in film, press, TV, internet and the interest in publicity.”

In a day and age whereby teenagers in Macedonia can make up to $3,000 per day for fake articles that get plenty of hits on Facebook and elsewhere online, as reported by the Inquisitr, there exists plenty of reason to create fake news.

Whereas some people like to create fake news by grabbing old articles and placing new and false headlines upon such articles — simply in order to see how far the article might spread and fool people — others have monetary motivations. If the fake headline allows a person to grow their Twitter following and Facebook likes, it is a bonus because any additional hits and eyeballs drawn to other sites that might help the webmaster gain advertising revenue would benefit their pockets.

Additionally, growing a social media following in and of itself can be worth money, with some companies willing to pay folks with large social media followings plenty of money for tweets and Facebook posts. Therefore, the motivation behind turning Jackson’s realistic photo of the fake Bill into a false story could be for monetary gain — but it’s still false.

Real photos of Bill, such as the top one above of Clinton hugging Hillary on February 18, 1992, can be seen throughout this article.
