Justice Clarence Thomas was ‘obsessed’ with porn, former girlfriend says

• RawStory.com
Speaking out after 19 years, the former girlfriend of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says he was "obsessed" with porn and women's breast sizes, the same week the justice's wife called one of his former employees to demand an apology for testimony during his 1991 nomination hearings.

Thomas' former girlfriend, Lillian McEwen, broke her silence after Thomas' wife, Virginia, called Anita Hill, who Thomas had supervised, to demand an apology.

"He was obsessed with porn," McEwen told The Washington Post for Friday editions. "He would talk about what he had seen in magazines and films, if there was something worth noting."

"McEwen added that she had no problem with Thomas's interests, although she found pornography to be 'boring,'" Post reporter Michael Fletcher wrote.

"He was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners," McEwen, 65, was quoted as saying. "It was a hobby of his."
