Angry guests call Bill Clinton fundraiser worst party ever!
LONDON, England (PNN) - May 23, 2012 - Attendees complained the underground venue “stank” with perspiration “dripping off the walls” and the rooms were too crowded to even see the former president.
One person, who called it the “worst party ever,” described how angry people were waiting in the line outside while high-profile guests were admitted; another condemned the event as “unpleasant”.
The evening had been intended as a fundraising event for the Clinton Foundation Millennium Network, which was set up to “encourage the next generation to address global challenges”.
Hosted by Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, the night was attended by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, model Lily Cole, performer Will.I.Am, and Princess Beatrice.
Glamorous photographs of the event document Clinton’s short speech addressing the issue of climate change, as well smartly dressed attendees enjoying themselves.
A standard ticket to the event cost £125, with some understood to have paid up to £1,000 for a chance to meet the politician.
But other photographs, taken from outside the venue, show hundreds of people lining up along a wall near the Old Vic Tunnels, Waterloo, and guests entering through doors painted with graffiti.
