Jill Biden says she’s sorry she didn’t talk more about son Hunter’s drug addiction
She said openness about Hunter Biden’s recovery could help others, as she reflected on family privacy and Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
On Tuesday, Jill Biden discussed her memoir 'View from the East Wing' on 'The View' with co-host Whoopi Goldberg, expressing regret that she did not speak more openly about her son Hunter Biden's past drug addiction.
Hunter's addiction spiraled after his brother Beau Biden died from brain cancer in 2015, a tragedy the family was 'partly in denial' about for years, Jill Biden acknowledged in her memoir.
Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis put life into perspective for Jill Biden, helping her move past anger toward the Democratic Party regarding his 2024 reelection exit.
Reflecting on her time in the White House, Jill Biden told Goldberg that living in a 'fishbowl' was the hardest part of being first lady, citing constant scrutiny and loss of privacy.
Her son Hunter's drug addiction was a serious blow to the former First Lady of the United States. »I think we partly suppressed it«, says Jill Biden today. Since her husband became ill with cancer, she sees a lot differently.
