Mandy Rice-Davies was a British woman involved in a 1963 scandal related to the "Profumo Affair," a political scandal involving a government minister's inappropriate relationships. She gained fame through her direct and memorable response during court testimony, famously stating, "Well, he would, wouldn't he?" when asked if a certain man denied an affair. Her remark typified the scandal's notoriety and highlighted issues of morality and political deception in the UK during that era. Rice-Davies's case remains a notable example of media attention to personal relationships intertwining with politics.
