Jesse Jackson Affair
She gained notoriety in 2000 when it was revealed that the Rev. Jesse Jackson is the father of her daughter (b. 1999) and that she received $40,000 from Rainbow/PUSH. Commentators questioned the legality of these payments and charged that Jackson was paying her “hush money”.
The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition later released financial records showing it paid Stanford $15,000 in moving expenses to relocate to Southern California and a $21,000 consulting fee for a 150-page report. An agreement to lend Stanford an additional $40,000 was withdrawn.
