Bill and Hillary Clinton are not speaking to each other after a blazing argument over her election book, it has been claimed.
The former President threw a manuscript in the trash after Hillary ignored his advice not to publish it, according to author Ed Klein.
Bill had red-penned the book in an attempt to improve it, a friend allegedly told Klein, but flew into a rage when Hillary refused to read any of his notes.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are not speaking after arguing over her election book What Happened, which Bill said made her look 'bewildered, angry and confused', a friend has said
The couple were last seen together in August in the Hamptons. Since then Hillary has been on a national tour promoting the book (pictured speaking at Stanford University)
According to Page Six, the friend said: 'He told her the book made her look bewildered, angry and confused, and that those were poor qualities in a person who aspired to be a world leader.
'He hated the title because calling it "What Happened" would only make people say, "You lost."
'He urged her to postpone the pub date and rewrite the book, but she yelled at him and said: "The book is finished and that’s how it’s going to be published".'
Bill is said to have given Hillary extensive notes on the book, which she refused to read before he threw the tome in the trash
Since then the pair have been speaking through friends and lawyers, the source said
The argument is believed to have taken place over the summer before Hillary took off on tour in order to promote the book.
Bill and Hillary were last pictured together toward the end of August while enjoying a visit to see friends in the Hamptons. The couple have not been seen together since.
