Last month, we reported that Monica Lewinsky had reemerged to slam the former President Bill Clinton as she launched her new podcast Reclaiming With Monica Lewinsky.
Now, things have gotten even worse for Clinton, as Lewinsky is reflecting on their relationship in a new interview. This time, she’s revealing to the world if she was ever truly in love with him.
Lewinsky Sounds Off
Lewinsky, now 51, was a 22 year-old White House intern when she had an affair with Clinton. At the time, he was the 49 year-old president of the United States.
Lewinsky recently appeared on Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail. There, she admitted that she thought she was in love with Clinton during their affair. However, she now sees what he did as being an “abuse of power.”
“It was 22 to 24-year-old young woman’s love,” Lewinsky explained. “I think there was some limerence there and all sorts of other things, but that’s how I saw it then. I think it was also an abuse of power.”
Lewinsky Doubles Down
Lewinsky went on to blast Clinton and his administration for portraying her as a “bimbo” even though she’d scored a competitive White House internship right out of college.
“My very first job out of college was working in the White House,” she pointed out. “I don’t think that that’s the kind of trajectory that someone thinks then 10, 12 years later, that person’s not going to be able to get hired.”
“Then I worked in the Pentagon as well and travelled the world with my boss, who is the Pentagon spokesman, and we travelled with the Secretary of Defense,” Lewinsly continued. “I’m by no means a genius, by no means going to be the cream of the crop but I wasn’t a bimbo. I wasn’t a dumb bimbo. So I was portrayed to be, and that was a big struggle for me to deal with that.”
“And you were often portrayed as that by other women,” Day asked in response.
“Often by other women, but I think that that was a narrative that was crafted and put out by the White House so I think that mantle was picked up by a lot of women,” Lewinsky replied.

Lewinsky Says Clinton Should Have Resigned
This comes after Lewinsky ripped into Clinton while being interviewed on the Call Her Daddy podcast earlier this year.
“Because of the power dynamics, and the power differential, I never should’ve been in that position,” she said in that interview.
Not stopping there, Lewinsky took issue with the way Clinton handled the situation. She even went so far as to say that he should have resigned.
“I think the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was nobody’s business and to resign,” she stated.
“Or, to find a way of staying in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person that was just starting out in the world under the bus,” Lewinsky concluded.

Clinton has done everything he can to put the Lewinsky affair behind him. Indeed, in the post-#MeToo world, his conduct with Lewinsky looks more despicable than ever. That’s why Lewinsky reemerging to finally tell her side of the story is undoubtedly his worst nightmare.
We applaud Lewinsky for having the courage to speak out against Clinton after all these years. Here’s hoping Lewinsky continues to be a thorn in Clinton’s side for many years to come!
