Over the years, Roger Stone, a long-time critic of the Clinton family, has repeatedly peddled the bonkers conspiracy that Chelsea’s biological father was Webb Hubbell and that she resorted to cosmetic surgery to look less like him. “Now Chelsea, their daughter, who is, as I say in this book, [The Clintons’ War on Women] actually the daughter of Webb Hubbell and Hillary Clinton,” Stone said in 2016, notes Media Matters. Stone claimed that because Chelsea wanted to distance herself from Hubbell, she tweaked her appearance with cosmetic work. “What 18-year-old gets plastic surgery unless you’re trying to, I don’t know, thin out the lips and make you look less like your daddy,” continued Stone.
However, this was far from the first or last time Stone spread these hurtful, unsubstantiated rumors about Chelsea. While speaking with The National Enquirer to promote his book, which contained similar accusations in greater detail, Stone dug even deeper into Chelsea’s looks and her supposed plastic surgery. “The resemblance between Chelsea and Webb Hubbell is uncanny. Chelsea underwent plastic surgery not to look better but to conceal Hubbell is her REAL dad!” said Stone in 2015. As for why Stone cared one way or another about the Clinton family tree? “It’s important to know who Chelsea’s real father is because it proves the Clinton marriage is a dysfunctional sham,” he continued.
