Monica Lewinsky Reflects on Clinton Affair and Its Lasting Impact

On the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, Lewinsky discussed her experiences, public shaming, and the power dynamics of her relationship with the former president.

Monica Lewinsky believes Bill Clinton should have considered resigning or addressing the scandal without lying after their affair became public in the late 1990s.
She reflected on the power imbalance in their relationship, stating it was consensual but complicated by his position as president.
Lewinsky shared the personal toll of the public shaming she endured, including moments of despair and the challenges of rebuilding her life and identity.
She discussed contemplating changing her name but ultimately decided against it, emphasizing the unfairness of such expectations placed on her versus Clinton.
Lewinsky has since become an advocate for anti-cyberbullying efforts and launched a podcast focused on reclaiming narratives and personal growth.
