<p>Monica Lewinsky works as an activist, television personality, fashion designer but is most famous for being the former White House intern who had a love affair with former United States president, Bill Clinton.</p>

<h2>Background</h2>

<p><a href="/biography/monica-lewinsky">Monica Samille Lewinsky</a> was born on July 23, 1973 in San Francisco, California. Lewinsky was involved in a regular relationship, prior to the one that got her attention that she could have never imagined.</p>

<p>After graduating from college, she got a boyfriend who worked as a former high school drama instructor, Andy Bleiler. The relationship reportedly started in 1992 and continued even after her getting into the White House and the Pentagon respectively. It was revealed that Andy and Monica were not in a committed relationship. At the time, Andy was married to another woman and he was seeing Monica as his side girlfriend. Unfortunately, for Monica this would setup the media’s future attack against her. Since she was the other woman and two relationships, the media started painting her as a whore and began slut shaming her instead of seeing her as a victim and seeing Bill Clinton as the manipulator who was taking advantage of a young woman.</p>

<h2>Secret Relationship with the President</h2>

<p>Monica Lewinsky is one of those people who got a rise to fame for infamous reasons. The Lewinsky Scandal became a cultural event with many headlines covering the scandal involving Monica and United States president, Bill Clinton.</p>

<p>Monica won the White House internship during the summer of 1995 and proceeded to be promoted to a paid job a year after she started here employment there. Lewinsky became the beacon of public attention with her confession that she was involved in sexual relations with former US president Bill Clinton. She worked in the White House for a while before being transferred to Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. The reasons for this move were stated to be for professional reasons. But rumors had spread that influential people inside the White House were aware of the Clinton situation and quietly tried to bring the matter to an end which propelled her move from the White House to assisting the Pentagon chief. They wanted to squash the scandal before the media could get a hold of it and expose it to the public.</p>

<p>The reveal of the secret relationship occurred when her <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Tripp">colleague</a> at the Pentagon, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Tripp">Linda Tripp</a> came to find out about Lewinsky’s hidden intimacy with the president and secretly recorded their telephone conversations. The recorded tapes were then used by an attorney named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Starr">Kenneth Starr</a> to push forward a case. The incident famously became known as the White House <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_scandal">Sex Scandal</a> controversy. Although Monica gave a strong statement denying her involvement in any such matter, the water had flown too deep by then.</p>

<p>Soon after, she was put before a grand jury trial where she had no choice but to admit being involved in several intimate acts with President Clinton, which excluded intercourse. In return for her testimony which restricted her from disclosing any of the information regarding the case to an outsider, she was granted immunity by the court. The case got a major breakthrough after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Tripp">Linda Tripp</a> cleverly revealed a dress belonging to Monica that contained a spot of semen, belonging to President Bill Clinton.</p>

<p>Her ex-boyfriend Andy Bleilermade realized that he could make famous by involving himself in the situation. He made a statement that damaged Monica’s image and claimed that she was definitely a woman that would sell her soul just to become famous.</p>

<h2>Trying To Move On</h2>

<p>The controversies made her doubt that she would ever be able to start a proper professional career again. She never got married and likely had to deal with men who didn’t want to handle the pressure of being with someone with such a stained reputation.</p>

<p>After being ruthlessly attacked and ridiculed for her involvement in the inappropriate activities that soon went public when the evidence mounted, she tried to move on with her life. She attempted her hand at various other occupations such as being a fashion designer. The fashion designer path was a rough start for her because of the clothing evidence in the Clinton incident. There was a blue dress that she wore which had Bill Clinton’ ejaculated semen on it. The evidence became the butt of the media’s jokes, specifically comedy sketch shows like Saturday Night Live. When she decided to launch her own fashion designs, the entertainment world could not wait to jump on her for that decision.</p>

<p>She decided to go back to school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Psychology from London. In a statement in released in 2014, she expressed regret and wished that she wouldn’t have made the mistakes that she did.</p>

<h2>Questioning Female Empowerment</h2>

<p>In an interview with The Guardian, Monica spoke about how hurt she was that females were also on the side of attacking her during the sex scandal, I think it’s fair to say that whatever mistakes I made, I was hung out to dry by a lot of people, by a lot of the feminists who had loud voices. I wish it had been handled differently. It was very scary and very confusing to be a young woman thrust on to the world stage and not belonging to any group. I didn’t belong to anybody.”</p>

<p>She also spoke about cyberbullying and how no group or single person can be immune from it, “It’s very easy to get micro, especially when someone is telling you a personal story that’s gutting. And it’s important to highlight which groups experience cyberbullying the most. But this is an umbrella problem, and under this umbrella sit many people who suffer online harassment for many different reasons. Don’t bully the bully. It doesn’t move the conversation forward. I see bullying as similar to cutting. People who cut are trying to localize their pain. I think with bullying, people are suffering for myriad reasons and are projecting it. Instead of cutting themselves, they’re cutting someone else.”</p>

<p>She wants the public to try to change the media narrative by avoiding the urge to click on shaming stories but she realizes that sometimes it’s human nature to click on those type of things, “Because of the way the algorithm of the internet works, we do have some control. Editors aren’t going to assign stories that aren’t going to get clicks. But then she confesses that she sometimes clicks on those exciting stories, too.</p>
