Gennifer Flowers (born January 24, 1950) is a woman who had a relationship with former U.S. President Bill Clinton. She attended the University of Arkansas. Her current husband is Finis D. Shelnutt.

She came forward during Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential election campaign alleging that she had had a twelve-year relationship with him. When Bill Clinton denied having relationship with Flowers, she held a press conference in which she played tape recordings she claimed were of secretly recorded intimate phone calls with Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton, for the first time, made the media rounds to rebut sexual allegations against her husband. When asked why Clinton and Flowers called each other "honey" in the tapes, Mrs. Clinton explained that this was how people talked in Arkansas. At least two Arkansas state police officers who had formerly guarded Bill Clinton when he was Governor backed up Flowers' story. Clinton also apologized to Mario Cuomo for remarks he made about him on the tapes.

In his autobiography My Life, Clinton acknowledged testifying under oath that he had not had sexual relations with Flowers while he was with Hillary. It was only on one occasion before Hillary and Bill were together. When Flowers learned of it, she went public again to tell her side.

She published her memoir Gennifer Flowers: Passion and Betrayal in 1995. In it she confessed a sexual naïveté at the time of her relationship with Clinton ("The first time he [climaxed during oral sex], I was taken aback. I was saving that for my husband, if ever. But Bill was gentle and held me after."). She posed nude for Penthouse magazine during this period and was featured in the December 1992 issue along with her story "Gennifer Flowers Tells All, Shows All".

Flowers sued Hillary Rodham Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, James Carville, and others for defamation, claiming that they orchestrated a campaign to discredit her. Judicial Watch represented her in her defamation lawsuit against Hillary's former aides, Stephanopoulos and Carville. The alleged defamation occurred in 1992. Newspapers reported that she and Gov. Bill Clinton had an affair. Bill Clinton denied the affair at that time. Flowers held a news conference and played audio tapes of phone calls between them. On CNN and ABC Carville and Stephanopoulos said Flowers had changed the tapes' information. Stephanopoulos also repeated that claim in his book. She claims they conspired with Hillary to defame her. Larry Klayman, Flowers' attorney, was seeking damages in court (Flowers v. Carville). "We allege Hillary Clinton was the mastermind of them uttering the words that the tapes were doctored," Klayman said. "They destroyed her." A number of judgments have been made and some appeals have been upheld. In January, 2006, the Ninth Circuit rejected the latest appeal. Future appeals are under consideration.

She acted in two films: "Play It to the Bone", Dec. 25 1999 and "The War Room", Sept. 14, 1993 playing herself. She was also in three TV shows: "True Hollywood Story: Bill Clinton", "Primetime" and "Weakest Link: Celebrity Edition: Newsmakers". Until Hurricane Katrina, she ran a cabaret called the Kelsto Club in a former bordello in New Orleans's French Quarter. As of 2007, she lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, and occasionally writes a column http://www.vegascommunityonline.com/2007/10/Oct07-w3-ENT_FlowersCol.htm.

In 2008 she put the answering machine tapes of her conversations with Bill Clinton up for auction.
