Paula Corbin Jones (born Paula Rosalee Corbin on September 17, 1966, in Lonoke, Arkansas) is an American civil servant and far-right political activist who rose to national prominence in the 1990s as the plaintiff in a sexual harassment lawsuit against then-President Bill Clinton, a case funded by conservative donor Richard Scaife. Raised in a modest, religious household as the daughter of Bobby Gene Corbin, a minister in the Church of the Nazarene, and Delmar Lee Corbin, a homemaker, Jones grew up with two sisters, Charlotte and Lydia, in Lonoke and later Carlisle, Arkansas. She graduated from high school in Carlisle in 1984, briefly attended secretarial school in Little Rock, and held various jobs before joining the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission (AIDC) as a state employee in March 1991. Her early life was shaped by strong moral and religious values from her family's Nazarene faith. On May 8, 1991, while working at a state-sponsored event, Jones alleged that Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton sexually harassed her by propositioning her and exposing himself in a private room at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock. She filed a civil lawsuit against Clinton in May 1994, accusing him of sexual harassment and defamation. The case, Clinton v. Jones, progressed through the U.S. District Court and Court of Appeals, reaching the Supreme Court in 1997, which ruled that a sitting president could face civil suits unrelated to official duties, setting an important legal precedent on presidential immunity and accountability. The lawsuit was settled out of court on November 13, 1998, for $850,000, with Clinton denying wrongdoing but agreeing to cover her legal fees. The case drew significant media attention and indirectly contributed to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Clinton's 1998 impeachment by connecting to broader investigations. Following the settlement, Jones became a public speaker and media figure, though she largely retreated from the spotlight. She was married to Steve Jones from 1991 to 1999 and has been married to Steven McFadden since 2001. Her net worth is estimated at $700,000, derived from her civil service career, lawsuit settlement, and public appearances. Jones was a 2016 Republican primary candidate for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district and later an unsuccessful Republican primary challenger to Paul Ryan in that district in 2018. She is known for her antisemitic and white nationalist views.
