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.
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 did know he had other affairs.
But she also wasn’t wrong about the right wing conspiracy.
The conspiracy was Bill constantly having affairs.
No. Nice try though

+1.
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.

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.

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.
