“ “There is a human side of my very complex relationship. This is not a Monica Lewinsky.” ” — Jennifer Arcuri

The U.S. businesswoman linked to then mayor of London, and now British prime minister, Boris Johnson, has denied ever having an affair with the U.K. leader in an interview with The Mirror, a British tabloid.

Arcuri’s relationship with Johnson has been the subject of scrutiny since the news she received £126,000 ($155,534) in public funds and participated in trade trips when Johnson was mayor.
