fell apart and that cigar, what mean?, please

Means nothing to me, either. More context might, or might not help.

Does the name Monica ring a bell roger?



Just making an educated guess here, but perhaps the entire sentence would read...

" her depression as her relationship with Bill Clinton fell apart and that cigar......
incident with him didn't help none either."

Un huh, but it never occured to me that Monica could be depressed. Just didn't seem to have that kind of sophistication.

Looks like it was a description of an interview Monica did with Barbara Walters:

juan, "fell apart and that cigar" is not a phrase.

"... her depression as her relationship with Bill Clinton fell apart" is one section of the sentence.

It refers to Monica Lewinsky, who had a relationship with President Bill Clinton, becoming depressed when that relationship started to "fall apart," a way of saying that they were breaking up.

"...and that cigar...." is another section.

Chai came up with a plausible context, could you post more? Then we could answer more definitively.

Thanks Irishk! Nice Googling.

OK, so Monica Lewinsky talks about (at least) three things in an interview.

One of those things is how much Ken Starr scared her.

Another one of those things is how she became depressed as her relationship with Bill Clinton fell apart.

Another one of those things is "that cigar." Those of us who followed the news at the time know what "that cigar" alludes to. (Um, do I have to say what it alludes to? I'd rather not.) Suffice it to say, the story is well enough known that all that is necessary is to say "that cigar" and most American readers will catch the meaning.

well done y'all.

soz, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

sometimes. not this time. (stupid clinton.)

(extra stupid monica)

That cigar, stained dress, Clinton in a real mess
