Shame she’s had to spend twenty years of her life as an outcast while Bill (and Hill!) were able to put it behind them and reign as the ideological figures of the Democratic Party. Bill Clinton, for all his charm and brilliance, is a womanizer and possibly a rapist. I will definitely be watching.

I am TOTALLY with you.

I was working in politics back then and was in close contact with both Bill and Hillary. Bill is a complete sleaze and Hillary is a snake. It is easy to see how someone like ML would get taken in by the POTUS role and the smarm of Bill. The American public fell for his act and his smear campaign against her.

It is wonderful that people are finally waking up to the fact that Bill was the one who was wrong and ML was the victim. Even if Bill didn't use force ML he used his position to compel her. Disgusting.

Unfortunately now ML has lost 20 years of her life AND every time someone hears her name they are reminded of how she was victimized. I am so glad that things are turning around for her.

Not to put to fine a point on her suffering, but Monica has made multi-millions off being the intern who gave a single blow job to the president.

$500,000 for the first book
$1,000,000 for her first public interview (Barbara Walters)
$200,000 for the Monica Lewinsky line of handbags
$300,000 for her Jenny Craig endorsement
$250,000 for her television gig
$12,000,000 for her second memoir (O.O)
$1,000,000 for the Netflix biography deal
$750,000 for the assorted guest appearances she'd done over 10 years on places like Jimmy Kimmel Live

Not saying she's wrong. I applaud her for getting her money, but let's not pretend she hasn't done well for herself off the scandal.

She absolutely has cashed in and all I can say is hats off to her, she deserves all of it and more. And I'll be buying her next book. Go Monica! As someone who has been shit on by life unfairly, I find her resilience incredibly inspirational.

She honestly doesn’t have any choice but to cash in. She tried to find work, but it is really difficult to get very far when you are “Monica”

Exactly. People couldn't get past her past. I'm glad that she figured out that what she could do so that she could make some money.

I just wish there were a way to force Bill and Hillary to take responsibility for their bad acts and pay through the nose. Bill did the act but Hillary knew and was complicit.

I don’t know that HRC knew about Monica. She was rather angry when that came out after the grand jury testimony and his televised confession.

She did know he had other affairs.

But she also wasn’t wrong about the right wing conspiracy.

The conspiracy was Bill constantly having affairs.

That Feldstein girl is very dowdy-looking. Bill Clinton, surely, was a womanizer, but I don't think even he'd fall for her.
Monica, on the other hand, at her heyday, was attractive, no questions asked.

Are. you. kidding. us? Ole Bill looked at anything female.

+100 she seems like a pleasant person and was so young when this happened. She didn’t deserve for her reputation and image to be ruined in such a manner. Times sure have changed. Had this happened 10 years later she could have parlayed it into a serious career or business venture.

+1 Back then, people were more concerned about morality and the appearance of being ladylike vs sleeping around and hooking up. Now, it's pretty much anything goes with no judging.

Agreed. Seeing this through my lens, I’d find it incredibly humiliating to make those public appearances. I’m surprised that she wasn’t suicidal.

She's already the second best person on twitter - first best is Mayor Pete's husband

The actress who will play Monica (Beanie Feldman) is actor Jonah Hill's sister.

I watched some documentary on Monica last year called The Clinton Affair on A & E. It was very good and wonder how different this new doc will be.

If you live a clean life, all the conspiracies in the world can't bring you down.

I think bill and hill had an understanding: he has as much sex as he can with lots of different people, and she gets to be Mrs. Clinton - forever. That's all she wants out of him.

Monica absolutely was suicidal at a couple points. They discuss this in Slow Burn, and I’m pretty sure she has been open about this in her writings and public appearances. Can you even imagine being in her shoes? The whole damn world knows your personal business? Not to mention being in legal peril.
