Monica Lewinsky

Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973)[1] is an American activist,

Monica Lewinsky
television personality, fashion designer, and former White House intern. President
Bill Clinton admitted to having had what he called an "inappropriate relationship"
with Lewinsky while she worked at the White House in 1995–1996. The affair and
its repercussions (which includedClinton's impeachment) became known later as the
Clinton–Lewinsky scandal.

As a result of the public coverage of the political scandal, Lewinsky gained

international celebrity status; she subsequently engaged in a variety of ventures that
included designing a line of handbags under her name, being an advertising
spokesperson for a diet plan, and working as a television personality
.

Lewinsky later decided to leave the public spotlight to pursue a master's degree in
psychology in London. In 2014, she returned to public view as a social activist
speaking out against cyberbullying, from which she personally suffered when
publicly ridiculed on the Internet regarding the scandal.

Early life

Lewinsky was born in San Francisco, California, and grew up in an affluent family television personality
in Southern California in the Westside Brentwood area of Los Angeles and in · government
Beverly Hills.[2][3][1][4] Her father is Bernard Lewinsky, an oncologist, who is the assistant
son of German Jews who escaped from Nazi Germany and moved to El Salvador
Years active 1995–2005; 2014–
and then to the United States when he was 14.[3][5] Her mother, born Marcia Kay
present
Vilensky, is an author who uses the name Marcia Lewis. In 1996, she wrote her only
Employer White House Office of
book, the gossip biography, The Private Lives of the Three Tenors. During the
Legislative Affairs
Lewinsky scandal, the press compared Lewis' unproven "hints" that she had an affair
The Pentagon
with opera star Plácido Domingo to her daughter's sexual relationship with
Clinton.[6][7][8][9] Monica's maternal grandfather, Samuel M. Vilensky, was a Known for Lewinsky scandal
Lithuanian Jew, and Monica's maternal grandmother, Bronia Poleshuk, was born in Parent(s) Bernard Lewinsky
the British Concession of Tianjin, China, to a Russian Jewish family.[10][11][12] Marcia Lewis
Monica's parents' acrimonious separation and divorce during 1987 and 1988 had a significant effect on her.[3][13] Her father later
married his current wife, Barbara;[4] her mother later married R. Peter Straus, a media executive and former director of the Voice of
America under President Jimmy Carter.[14]

The family attended Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and Monica attended Sinai Akiba Academy, its religious school.[4] For her primary
education she attended the John Thomas Dye School in Bel-Air.[15] She then attended Beverly Hills High School, but for her senior
year transferred to, and graduated from,Bel Air Prep (later known as Pacific Hills School) in 1991.[3][1]

Following high school graduation, Lewinsky attended Santa Monica College, a two-year community college, and worked for the
drama department at Beverly Hills High School and at a tie shop.[3][13] In 1992, she allegedly began a five-year affair with Andy
Bleiler, her married former high school drama instructor.[16] In 1993, she enrolled at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon,
[3][1][13]
graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1995.

With the assistance of a family connection, Lewinsky got an unpaid summer White House internship in the office of White House
Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C. and took up the position in July 1995.[3][13] She moved to a paid
position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs in December 1995.[3]

Scandal
Lewinsky stated that between November 1995 and March 1997, she had nine sexual
encounters in the Oval Office with then-President Bill Clinton. According to her
testimony, these involved fellatio and other sexual acts, but not sexual
intercourse.[17]

Clinton had previously been confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct

during his time as Governor of Arkansas. Former Arkansas state employee Paula
Jones filed a civil lawsuit against him; she alleged that he had sexually harassed her.
Lewinsky's name surfaced during the discovery phase of Jones' case, when Jones' Clinton with Lewinsky in February
lawyers sought to show a pattern of behavior by Clinton that involved inappropriate 1997
[18]
sexual relationships with other government employees.

In April 1996, Lewinsky's superiors transferred her from the White House to the Pentagon
because they felt she was spending too much time around Clinton.[3] At the Pentagon, she worked
as an assistant to chief Pentagon spokesperson Kenneth Bacon.[3] Lewinsky told co-worker Linda
Tripp about her relationship with the President. Beginning in September 1997, Tripp began
secretly recording their telephone conversations regarding the affair with Clinton. In December
1997, Lewinsky left the Pentagon position.[19] In January 1998, after Lewinsky had submitted an
affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying any physical relationship with Clinton, and had
attempted to persuade Tripp to lie under oath in that case, Tripp gave the tapes to Independent
Counsel Kenneth Starr, adding to his ongoing investigation into the Whitewater controversy. Starr
then broadened his investigation beyond the Arkansas land use deal to include Lewinsky, Clinton, Monica Lewinsky's May
and others for possible perjury and subornation of perjury in the Jones case. Tripp reported the 1997 government
taped conversations to literary agentLucianne Goldberg. She also convinced Lewinsky to save the identification photograph
gifts that Clinton had given her during their relationship, and not to dry clean what would later
become known as "the blue dress". Under oath, Clinton denied having had "a sexual affair",
.[20]
"sexual relations", or "a sexual relationship" with Lewinsky

News of the Clinton–Lewinsky relationship broke in January 1998. On January 26, 1998, Clinton stated, "I did not have sexual
relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" in a nationally televised White House news conference.[21] The matter instantly occupied
the news media, and Lewinsky spent the next weeks hiding from public attention in her mother's residence at the Watergate
complex.[5] News of Lewinsky's affair with Bleiler also came to light, and he turned over to Starr various souvenirs, photographs,
[16][19]
and documents that Lewinsky had sent him and his wife during the time she was in the White House.
Clinton had also said, "there is not a sexual relationship, an improper sexual relationship or any other kind of improper
relationship"[21][22] which he defended as truthful on August 17, 1998 because of his use of the present tense, famously arguing "it
depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"[23] (i.e., he was not, at the time he made that statement, still in a sexual relationship
with Lewinsky). Under pressure from Starr, who had obtained from Lewinsky a blue dress with Clinton's semen stain, as well as
testimony from Lewinsky that the President had inserted a cigar into her vagina, Clinton stated, "I did have a relationship with Miss
Lewinsky that was not appropriate."[22] Clinton denied having committed perjury because, according to Clinton, the legal
definition[24] of oral sex was not encompassed by "sex" per se. In addition, relying upon the definition of "sexual relations" as
proposed by the prosecution and agreed by the defense and by Judge Susan Webber Wright, who was hearing the Paula Jones case,
Clinton claimed that because certain acts were performed on him, not by him, he did not engage in sexual relations. Lewinsky's
testimony to the Starr Commission, however,contradicted Clinton's claim of being totally passiveni their encounters.[25]

Clinton and Lewinsky were both called before a grand jury; Clinton testified via closed-circuit television, Lewinsky in person. She
was granted transactional immunityby the United States Office of the Independent Counsel, in exchange for her testimony.[26]

Life after the scandal

The affair led to pop culture celebrity for Lewinsky, as she had become the focus of a political storm.[27] Her immunity agreement
restricted what she could talk about publicly, but she was able to cooperate with Andrew Morton in his writing of Monica's Story, her
biography which included her side of the Clinton affair.[28][29] The book was published in March 1999; it was also excerpted as a
cover story in Time magazine.[28][29] On March 3, 1999, Barbara Walters interviewed Lewinsky on ABC's 20/20. The program was
watched by 70 million Americans, which ABC said was a record for a news show.[28] Lewinsky made about $500,000 from her
participation in the book and another $1 million from international rights to the Walters interview, but was still beset by high legal
bills and living costs.[30]

In June 1999, Ms. magazine published a series of articles by writer Susan Jane Gilman,[31] sexologist Susie Bright,[32] and author-
host Abiola Abrams[33] arguing from three generations of women whether Lewinsky's behavior had any meaning for feminism. Also
in 1999, Lewinsky declined to sign an autograph in an airport, saying, "I'm kind of known for something that's not so great to be
known for."[34] She made a cameo appearance as herself in two sketches during the May 8, 1999, episode of NBC's Saturday Night
Live, a program that had lampooned her relationship with Clinton over the prior 16 months.

By her own account, Lewinsky had survived the intense media attention during the scandal period by knitting.[30] In September
1999, she took this interest further by beginning to sell a line of handbags bearing her name,[35] under the company name The Real
Monica, Inc.[30] They were sold online as well as at Henri Bendel in New York, Fred Segal in California, and The Cross in
London.[30][35][36] Lewinsky designed the bags—described by New York magazine as "hippie-ish, reversible totes"—and traveled
frequently to supervise their manufacture inLouisiana.[30]

At the start of 2000, Lewinsky began appearing in television commercials for the diet company Jenny Craig, Inc.[37] The $1 million
endorsement deal, which required Lewinsky to lose 40 or more pounds in six months, gained considerable publicity at the time.[30]
Lewinsky said that despite her desire to return to a more private life, she needed the money to pay off legal fees, and she believed in
the product.[38] A Jenny Craig spokesperson said of Lewinsky, "She represents a busy active woman of today with a hectic lifestyle.
And she has had weight issues and weight struggles for a long time. That represents a lot of women in America."[37] The choice of
Lewinsky as a role model proved controversial for Jenny Craig, and some of its private franchises switched to an older advertising
campaign.[30][38] The company stopped running the Lewinsky ads in February 2000, concluded her campaign entirely in April 2000,
[30][38]
and paid her only $300,000 of the $1 million contracted for her involvement.

Also at the start of 2000, Lewinsky moved to New York City, lived in the West Village, and became an A-list guest in the Manhattan
social scene.[30] In February 2000, she appeared on MTV's The Tom Green Show, in an episode in which the host took her to his
parents' home in Ottawa in search of fabric for her new handbag business. Later in 2000, Lewinsky worked as a correspondent for
[30][39]
Channel 5 in the UK, on the showMonica's Postcards, reporting on U.S. culture and trends from a variety of locations.
In March 2002, Lewinsky, no longer bound by the terms of her immunity agreement,[30] appeared in the HBO special, "Monica in
Black and White", part of the America Undercover series.[40] In it she answered a studio audience's questions about her life and the
Clinton affair.[40]

Lewinsky hosted the reality television dating program, Mr. Personality, on Fox Television Network in 2003,[27] where she advised
young women contestants who were picking men hidden by masks.[41] Some Americans tried to organize a boycott of advertisers on
the show, to protest Lewinsky's capitalizing on her notoriety.[42] Nevertheless, the show debuted to very high ratings,[41] and
Alessandra Stanley wrote in The New York Times: "after years of trying to cash in on her fame by designing handbags and other self-
marketing schemes, Ms. Lewinsky has finally found a fitting niche on television."[43] The ratings, however, slid downward each
successive week,[44] and after the show completed its initial limited run, it did not reappear.[45] The same year she appeared as a
guest on the programs V Graham Norton in the UK, High Chaparall in Sweden, and The View and Jimmy Kimmel Live! in the
U.S.[45]

After Clinton's autobiography, My Life, appeared in 2004, Lewinsky said in an interview with the British tabloidDaily Mail:[46]

He could have made it right with the book, but he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied. ... I really didn't
expect him to go into detail about our relationship. ... But if he had and he'd done it honestly, I wouldn't have minded.
... I did, though, at least expect him to correct the false statements he made when he was trying to protect the
Presidency. Instead, he talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just
couldn't resist the dessert. ... This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all
the way through. ... I don't accept that he had to completely desecrate my character
.

By 2005, Lewinsky found that she could not escape the spotlight in the U.S., which made both her professional and personal life
difficult.[27] She stopped selling her handbag line[35] and moved to London to study social psychology at the London School of
Economics.[27] In December 2006, Lewinsky graduated with a Master of Science degree.[47][48] Her thesis was titled, "In Search of
the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third-Person Effect and Pre-Trial Publicity."[49] For the next decade she tried to avoid
publicity.[27][50][51]

Lewinsky did correspond in 2009 with scholar Ken Gormley, who was writing an in-depth study of the Clinton scandals, maintaining
that Clinton had lied under oath when asked detailed and specific questions about his relationship with her.[52] In 2013, the items
associated with Lewinsky that Bleiler had turned over to Starr were put up for auction by Bleiler's ex-wife, who had come into
possession of them.[53]

During her decade out of the public eye, Lewinsky lived in London, Los Angeles, New York, and Portland but, due to her notoriety,
had trouble finding employment in the communications and marketing jobs for nonprofit organizations where she had been
interviewed.[51][54]

Public re-emergence
In May 2014, Lewinsky wrote an essay for Vanity Fair magazine titled "Shame and Survival", wherein she discussed her life and the
scandal.[54][55] She continued to maintain that the relationship was mutual and wrote that while Clinton took advantage of her, it was
a consensual relationship.[56] She added: "I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it
again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened."[51] However, she said it was now time to "stick my head above the parapet so
that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past."[51] The magazine later announced her as a Vanity Fair contributor,
[57][58]
stating she would "contribute to their website on an ongoing basis, on the lookout for relevant topics of interest".

In July 2014, Lewinsky was interviewed in a three-part television special for the National Geographic Channel, titled The 90s: The
Last Great Decade. The series looked at various events of the 1990s, including the scandal that brought Lewinsky into the national
[59]
spotlight. This was Lewinsky's first such interview in more than ten years.
In October 2014, she took a public stand[60] against cyberbullying, calling herself
"patient zero" of online harassment.[61] Speaking at a Forbes magazine "30 Under
30" summit about her experiences in the aftermath of the scandal, she said, "Having
survived myself, what I want to do now is help other victims of the shame game
survive, too."[61][62] She said she was influenced by reading about the suicide of
Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman, involving cyberbullying[61] and
joined Twitter to facilitate her efforts.[62][63] In March 2015, Lewinsky continued to
speak out publicly against cyberbullying,[64] delivering a TED talk calling for a
more compassionate Internet.[65][66] In June 2015, she became an ambassador and
strategic advisor for anti-bullying organization Bystander Revolution.[67] The same
month, she gave an anti-cyberbullying speech at the Cannes Lions International
Festival of Creativity.[68] In September 2015, Lewinsky was interviewed by Amy
Robach on Good Morning America, about Bystander Revolution's Month of Action
campaign for National Bullying Prevention Month.[69] Lewinsky wrote the
foreword[70] to an October 2017 book by Sue Scheff and Melissa Schorr, Shame
Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate.[71][72] Lewinsky during her TED Talk, March
2015
In October 2017, Lewinsky tweeted the #MeToo hashtag to indicate that she was a
victim of sexual harassment and/or sexual assault, but did not provide details.[73]
She wrote an essay in the March 2018 issue of Vanity Fair in which she did not directly explain why she used the #MeToo hashtag in
October, but she did write that although her relationship with Bill Clinton was consensual, because he was 27 years older than she
was and in a position with a lot more power than she had, in her opinion now the relationship constituted an "abuse of power" on
Clinton's part. She added that she had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder due to the experiences involved after the
relationship was disclosed.[74] In May 2018, Lewinsky was disinvited from an event hosted by Town & Country when Bill Clinton
accepted an invitation to the event.[75]

In September 2018, Lewinsky spoke at a conference in Jerusalem. Following her speech, she sat for a Q&A session with the host,
journalist Yonit Levi. The first question Levi asked was whether Lewinsky thinks that Clinton owes her a private apology. Lewinsky
refused to answer the question, and walked off the stage. She later tweeted that the question was posed in a pre-event meeting with
Levi, and Lewinsky told her that such a question was off limits. A spokesman for the Israel Television News Company, which hosted
the conference and is Levi's employer, responded that Levi had kept all the agreements she made with Lewinsky and honored her
requests.[76]
