Remember Monica Lewinsky? Yes, the very same woman who was the world’s most famous mistress 27 years ago, and now a writer and activist who has finally spoken out about the scandal that defined her life. In the podcast “How Fail” with Elizabeth Day, Monica candidly admitted that at the time she truly felt love for then-President Bill Clinton. But as time passed, she realized their relationship was deeply marked by a power imbalance. She was only 22 years old and an intern at the White House, while he was the most powerful man in the world. Monica emphasized that she was not a dumb girl as the media portrayed her, but that it was a huge challenge she had to face.
Clinton initially denied the affair but later admitted it and took responsibility. However, the scandal had huge consequences for Monica, who faced public condemnation and ridicule for years. Monica honestly said she would like to erase that period of her life and wished for a calmer, more normal life. Today, Monica is known for her podcast and as a strong advocate of the #MeToo movement, which fights against sexual harassment and abuse.
Recently, she filmed a campaign for the brand Reformation, which encourages women to vote in presidential elections. Social media users praise her honesty and appearance, noting she looks happy, healthy, and strong. After everything she went through, Monica has become a true inspiration and symbol of strength.
