Whatever Happened To Gennifer Flowers?

The lure of adding some drama to another campaign involving the Clintons proved too tempting for Flowers to resist just before the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in 2016.

As the New York Times reported, it all started when media figures announced that they might be supporting Hillary Clinton at the event, to which Trump couldn't resist responding, tweeting out an invitation to — you guessed it–Gennifer Flowers. 

Flowers ended up taking Trump's invitation to attend the debate seriously, and joined the Twitter convo, writing on her page, "Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!..." with a kissy emoji (gross), setting off reports that she would in fact be attending. Her assistant even told Buzzfeed that Flowers had accepted an official invitation from the Trump campaign. 

However, VP-nominee Mike Pence quickly squashed the rumors during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, explaining that Trump's tweet "was actually mocking [an] effort by Hillary Clinton and her campaign to distract voters" and Flowers, despite her prompt RSVP, wouldn't be attending the debate. And so it went on without her.
