AceShowbiz - Barack Obama was barely touched by scandal during his time serving as the President of the United States from 2009 to 2017, but now his alleged shocking past is about to be uncovered. An upcoming biography of Obama, written by Pulitzer-prize winning biographer David Garrow, offers a look at the 44th President's personal life.
In the unauthorized biography titled "Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama", Garrow claims that Obama has a past full of "passionate" sex with his girlfriend Genevieve Cook. According to the book, 22-year-old Obama slept with the Australian girl on their first date.
The book also reveals that Obama did cocaine with Cook. Cook, however, suggested that Obama wasn't a heavy drug user. "For every five lines that somebody did, he would have done half," she allegedly told Garrow. Obama split from Cook in 1985, after a year and a half together.
Obama allegedly also considered a gay relationship while at college, proposed twice to another white girlfriend, and cheated on Michelle with his ex during the first year of their relationship.
Lawrence Goldyn, an assistant professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles, is said to have had a huge impact on Obama. Goldyn was one of the first gay people that Obama knew and three years after their first meeting in 1980, Obama wrote a note "to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness but ultimately decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex."
After splitting from Cook in 1985, Obama dated Sheila Miyoshi Jager. He proposed to her twice and she turned it down because her parents thought she, who was 23 years old at the time, was too young for 25-year-old Obama.
The book claims Obama continued dating Jager for at least a year after he met his future wife, Michelle. "I always felt bad about it," Jager reportedly said.
"Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama" will hit the shelves on May 9.
