Watching American Crime Story right now. I've been seeing this Clinton Lewinsky issue in the history. 1997 I was 4 yrs old. I hate Monica at first, I didn't know her story. But now I've done some research I kinda like her. She is more beautiful now. Glowing. She's the clear example of whatever challenges you're facing, no matter how big it is you will definitely move past it
One thing people are forgetting yes she was young and made some wrong decisions but she also went there with the idea she's find someone of power to get close to. I remember George Stepanopolis once saying in an interview that he told the people around him to keep her away from him and she flirted with Clinton and he took advantage of her advances which he shouldn't have done. He saw his relationship as nothing more than a fling and she felt betrayed that he didn't take it more seriously in how he addressed it in his book. In one sense I feel sorry for her and in another sense I don't because she went there looking for it and it didn't get her what she really wanted but what she did get was betrayal by someone she considered to be a friend who was only looking to bring down the Clinton presidency and used Monica to accomplish that. She's not a victim even though she wants to betray herself as one. The real issue here is that it ruined her life because society shunned her when it all came out and she didn't get the career she expected to have.
er ..she was nineteen and practically a child. If every girl received that kind of twenty year sentence for being naiive stupid and wanting the attention of an older powerful man ( whether based on the crush for your school teacher, uni professor, first boss or the president) half of the women in the western world would suffer unknown consequences. People should feel bad for her as I don't know that an indiscretion at such a young and naiive age with a man who is old enough to know better and to be your father should not have been 100 percent his fault...and he has never suffered ANYTHING significant in his life...we need to start being supporters of young women and not be victim blamers. If this had been a 19year old boy fooling around with Kamala Harris , the boy would not have been blamed but she would have....you see where I am going with this people?
@@kncdco5966 She flashed her thong at a married man who was also the President of the United States. This is according to her own statement. She was a victim of her own lack of character, the Starr investigation, and the media, but definitely not a victim of Clinton. Should he have had her immediately removed from his office? Of course. Instead, he took advantage of a young and immoral woman trying to seduce him. They both should've known better, but none of this sordid mess was actually anyone's business but theirs. Starr was way, way out of line in investigating this.
@@bridget1540 and your point is...he still.could have been her father and in some countries her grandfather...why do we always blame the woman? why is she always the one who wears the sticker " lack of moral character?" what is that saying that repeated bad actions lead to bad character? Well Clinton did this kind of thing repeatedly so why isn't anyone talking about his lack of moral judgment. So sick of so many women, especially those of you who were in the back seat of some car on prom night in the 70s and 80s or giving away free love in the 60s deciding that this woman's biggest indiscretion somehow entitled her to a life of misery. unbelievable how much self hate women have.
Your daughter was an ADULT when she WILLINGLY partaked in an affair with a married man. She has to OWN that part of the relationship and decision. She made that choice and has to accept the consequences of that decision.
@@TheKumarImpressions As a mature married man in the role as the most powerful leader of the free world, it was his role to put a stop to her inappropriate crush. Instead, he manipulated and toyed with Monica, sexually, emotionally and professionally🛑
She was an opportunist seeking attention due to her low self worth. Like most predators he could smell her desperation and he plucked her out when he got tired of her he ghosted her.
Sorry she was a young women with stars on her eyes . Although she did do things wrong she repented. Bill Clinton never will. She very inexperienced and was to young to see up ahead and around the corner. Your brain is not fully developed until your 25.
he was married he made vows to his wife to be faithful and as soon as he sees a young attractive girl he pounced on her forgetting the wife of his youth ugh this makes me sick... they were both wrong I'm sure Monica had paid the price of her decisions back than
He didn't pounce on her. She herself has stated she flashed her thong at him in an effort to seduce him. And she herself has stated that when he tried to end the relationship, she threatened him! And this wasn't her first affair with a married man. The wife of one of the men said Monica had stalked him and her family. She was a very disturbed young woman.
@@anandaadidevi2339 frontal part of her thong and she bragged about it.. All these Morans on here supporting her disgusting behavior need their heads examined.
I have no sympathy for her. She was an adult with no morals as was he. Do any of them care about what all this did to his wife and child. If they have any shame they would never speak of this. Shame on this network.
I love Monica's parents for putting aside their acrimonious divorce to help their daughter, so happy to see Marcia aged beautifully (I feel bad that hubby Peter Straus had died, "Monica's Story" said he was gonna ride or die for Marcia) and Bill be looking older than Bernard (who is three years older, *sips tea*), and Bernard was still working as a doctor during 2020 (and I wanna hear about Barbara Lewinsky, she sounds awesome from what I read). It's no wonder Monica is so vivacious, witty, awesome, and beautiful; I thank her parents. Don't it bother Bill and Ken and Linda that Monica looks younger and prettier than they did at those ages?
I’m not saying what he did was right but it’s very similar to the whole trump and stormy Daniels but the difference stormy daniels is not victimizing her self
Are you blind? She is talking about repeated incidents of miss use of power and is advocating for victims of cyber bullying. Plus, no one - including in the UK would employ her so if she can use her trauma to shine a light on power dynamics and cyber bullying - she should!
@@caroshmarow Agree with you. This is her one big strength now - surviving this big mistake in her life and the onslaught of international public shame for decades. She is using it as well as she can. I commend her for that.
if it was love why didn't you advocate divorce and remarriage....passionately why was it more cosy to be second stage,..i ´ll never understand that and the deluge of a waste of lives and energies.....its sad,love should always win with honor .....
So at the time President Clinton was almost 50 years old, and she was 22. Sorry, but any person in a position of power like that should understand that they would be taking advantage of the younger individual. It’s inappropriate to the extreme. He could literally have been her father in terms of age difference. I feel nothing but compassion for Monica Lewinsky and I hope that she achieves a great deal of success moving forward.
She slept with a married man...no me 2 movement..she got caught..if she didn't she would have not felt guilty..immoral.. He was guilty as well..but for her to play victim..NO..
that's the problem. society is wayyy harsher on women than men. they were both guilty. 'she slept with a married man' is what you say...what about penalizing Clinton for straying from his vows. Oh wait, I bet you think that's just fine right?
These ones have no relevance except bill Clinton. Every other year they come with a revised version of the story n' scandal. Absolutely pathetic. It happened, move on!!!!
I blame Clinton more than her, however, getting involved with a married man is never good! Being in 'love' doesn't justify it nor does threatening the President in order to keep the relationship intact. Bill Clinton was obviously feeling disconnected with Hillary otherwise he wouldn't have been looking for a relationship outside the marriage. However, that is no excuse for the affair either. Lying about the affair didn't justify the relationship nor attacking her character. Sadly these two are going to be living with a decision they both made that wasn't good!
Plus she’s forced to tell the truth because of the tapes . So her including her flashing her thong in the series was definitely because every detail was already out there including why she was such an open book when she was on trial.
Monica looks like a Goddess and he now looks like a shribbled old prune…so happy she has found her way through the storm. We all make mistakes and she truly seems remorseful. 🦋✨
ENOUGH! Now her parents are talking about this once hot mess that is now cold? Is a book deal coming out or a movie? Is Monica trying to attach herself to the Clinton estate and this is the ground level for a lawsuit? Enough, already.
She was wrong he was married you can not get mad at Hillary for anything she said or feels about Monica Lewinsky because Monica Lewinsky was dead wrong
Umm, no Might mouse... 16 is just a kid, 20 is a consenting adult. Monica knew what she was getting herself into and she wanted this fame. She wrote several books, a ton of TV interviews and decades later Monica's parents are in the spotlight to keep Monica's fame from dying. I'll see you in another Decade speaking about this...
She was very young and stupid to get herself in a like that! After watching the interview last night it was clear she wanted him more than he wanted her. It always will haunt her, but she was 22 and quite frankly it was a lot of money involved so she benefited from it more than she had to lose - which was her dignity!
Can't put the blame all on Monica Lewinsky, because we all human and no one is perfect. Bill Clinton should have known better himself. A grown man acting in a unlawful manner . Monica Lewinsky is an incredible woman and a strong soul ! God Speed to Monica Lewinsky for her strength for living past everything she has been put through !!
What does Danny Wiliams have to do with any of this (apart from the fact that we already know Clinton is a lying creep). And there still is no evidence to prove that he is his son...
@HinHwood - She was of age, you are right there. As far as lack of morality, well we could go after both, but how about the person who leaked this to the press, Linda Tripp? What I think is so sad about this issue is that people either blame Bill or Monica. They were 2 consenting adults. We would not even know about this if Linda Tripp had not secretly recorded the convos between her and Monica, so Tripp is the snake here. But people go after either Bill or Monica based on their political persuasion.
I didn’t feel bad for her until now. Terrible.. what they experience, many affairs remain private the government drag even her parents really sad and a very scary situation for any one. At that age we do stupid things... I was at that age sexually harassed by my box and clients.. and didn’t say much to anyone .. I was afraid... I can imagine how terrified to be confronted by the FBI and kept in a room for hours.
"the government drag even her parents'' What are you talking about, they are talking to the media willingly for payment. She's worth millions without ever having kept down a job. All interviews & book
There was not only a BIG age gap between the POTUS and this intern, but also an enormous power differential. He was married, she was not. He had everything to lose and she did not. While Monica was not entirely innocent, Bill Clinton is much more culpable than she is in this. He should have known better yet acted with such indiscretion, not only with her, but several other women. I'm glad she pulled thru this ordeal and speaks out now about the lessons she's learned.....
My heart goes out to her yes, but I'm thinking she should never have been an intern in the first place. She got where she was by family connections, not merit. He was basically unscathed because of his privilege, but she became an intern for the same reasons. If she had achieved it by a true career aspiration she may not have participated in a dalliance that could be life-ruining for her.
That explains a lot. I've never understood why someone who has an internship with a president of a country would even be thinking of doing something so frivolous as fooling around with the president? I mean with an opportunity like that not even the sky is the limit for you. I don't believe anyone who genuinely worked hard to get that internship would have wasted it like that.
Could L. Tripp do what she did, if Monika didn´t do what she had done? What started it? Monika knew very well that Clinton had many affairs, RIGHT? So who is the most responsible person in this whole mess? HER. If she wasn´t playing the victim and capitalizing on it all for over 20 years and admitted her complicity in it, it would not be so bad.
1st Rule a Moral Person " Do not kiss and tell", be responsible for one's action. "Washing dirty linen in public" is reprehensible. A President is primarily a "Moral" Leader. And we all need to be aware of our 'errors' no matter how 'right' they seem. As the ability to process all the faculties of forgiveness is our Islam ( to surrender our mind body and soul to the One ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGN GOD, the God of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the Last Prophet Mohammed peace be upon them all. Increase the peace from U.K. Thank you.
I can understand her feeling betrayed by Trip but she told her to hang on to that dress& not have it cleaned. If not 4that she wud not have had any evidence & they really wud have crucified her(not that they didn't ruin her life)! She's a survivor!!
He was married... there are consequences.. those consequences are amplified by his position as president and the media. The tears and the theatrics dont minimised her bad choices. Repeats: he was married .
She knew he was a married man and she was of age and it was consensual. I don't understand all the drama. People cheat on their wives everyday.Her only mistake was that she was young and emotionally involved and did not accept when it was over.If she had been older she would have known you do not threaten powerful people.She could have gotten such a golden parachute from this if she had played it right.
Wishing Monica much happiness and that she lives a full and happy life. One relationship does not define you unless you keep bringing it up and WANT to remember it.I still don't think we know all there is to know about this 'relationship' but it wouldn't change how I feel. I voted for Clinton, I'm still a fan of his but the relationship with an intern was just plain wrong.

She's the clear example of whatever challenges you're facing, no matter how big it is you will definitely move past it
I have wondered how he went for so long without a father or a boyfriend beating him up
He was president
One thing people are forgetting yes she was young and made some wrong decisions but she also went there with the idea she's find someone of power to get close to. I remember George Stepanopolis once saying in an interview that he told the people around him to keep her away from him and she flirted with Clinton and he took advantage of her advances which he shouldn't have done. He saw his relationship as nothing more than a fling and she felt betrayed that he didn't take it more seriously in how he addressed it in his book. In one sense I feel sorry for her and in another sense I don't because she went there looking for it and it didn't get her what she really wanted but what she did get was betrayal by someone she considered to be a friend who was only looking to bring down the Clinton presidency and used Monica to accomplish that. She's not a victim even though she wants to betray herself as one. The real issue here is that it ruined her life because society shunned her when it all came out and she didn't get the career she expected to have.
er ..she was nineteen and practically a child. If every girl received that kind of twenty year sentence for being naiive stupid and wanting the attention of an older powerful man ( whether based on the crush for your school teacher, uni professor, first boss or the president) half of the women in the western world would suffer unknown consequences. People should feel bad for her as I don't know that an indiscretion at such a young and naiive age with a man who is old enough to know better and to be your father should not have been 100 percent his fault...and he has never suffered ANYTHING significant in his life...we need to start being supporters of young women and not be victim blamers. If this had been a 19year old boy fooling around with Kamala Harris , the boy would not have been blamed but she would have....you see where I am going with this people?
She was 21 when she started the internship, 22 when the affair began and lasted until she was 24.
@@kncdco5966 She flashed her thong at a married man who was also the President of the United States. This is according to her own statement. She was a victim of her own lack of character, the Starr investigation, and the media, but definitely not a victim of Clinton. Should he have had her immediately removed from his office? Of course. Instead, he took advantage of a young and immoral woman trying to seduce him. They both should've known better, but none of this sordid mess was actually anyone's business but theirs. Starr was way, way out of line in investigating this.
@@bridget1540 and your point is...he still.could have been her father and in some countries her grandfather...why do we always blame the woman? why is she always the one who wears the sticker " lack of moral character?" what is that saying that repeated bad actions lead to bad character? Well Clinton did this kind of thing repeatedly so why isn't anyone talking about his lack of moral judgment. So sick of so many women, especially those of you who were in the back seat of some car on prom night in the 70s and 80s or giving away free love in the 60s deciding that this woman's biggest indiscretion somehow entitled her to a life of misery. unbelievable how much self hate women have.
Your daughter was an ADULT when she WILLINGLY partaked in an affair with a married man. She has to OWN that part of the relationship and decision. She made that choice and has to accept the consequences of that decision.
Like she didn’t know he was married she just as much at fault as him
@Bruhilda maybe she wasn't perfect but affair with elder age married person I don't think anyone do that
@@TheKumarImpressions As a mature married man in the role as the most powerful leader of the free world, it was his role to put a stop to her inappropriate crush. Instead, he manipulated and toyed with Monica, sexually, emotionally and professionally🛑
She was an opportunist seeking attention due to her low self worth. Like most predators he could smell her desperation and he plucked her out when he got tired of her he ghosted her.
Sorry she was a young women with stars on her eyes . Although she did do things wrong she repented. Bill Clinton never will. She very inexperienced and was to young to see up ahead and around the corner. Your brain is not fully developed until your 25.
he was married he made vows to his wife to be faithful and as soon as he sees a young attractive girl he pounced on her forgetting the wife of his youth ugh this makes me sick... they were both wrong I'm sure Monica had paid the price of her decisions back than
She pulled up her dress and showed him her thong.
He didn't pounce on her. She herself has stated she flashed her thong at him in an effort to seduce him. And she herself has stated that when he tried to end the relationship, she threatened him! And this wasn't her first affair with a married man. The wife of one of the men said Monica had stalked him and her family. She was a very disturbed young woman.
@@anandaadidevi2339 frontal part of her thong and she bragged about it..
All these Morans on here supporting her disgusting behavior need their heads examined.
He "pounced " on alot of women.
I have no sympathy for her. She was an adult with no morals as was he. Do any of them care about what all this did to his wife and child. If they have any shame they would never speak of this. Shame on this network.
Bubber Cakes that’s his responsibility.
I love Monica's parents for putting aside their acrimonious divorce to help their daughter, so happy to see Marcia aged beautifully (I feel bad that hubby Peter Straus had died, "Monica's Story" said he was gonna ride or die for Marcia) and Bill be looking older than Bernard (who is three years older, *sips tea*), and Bernard was still working as a doctor during 2020 (and I wanna hear about Barbara Lewinsky, she sounds awesome from what I read).
It's no wonder Monica is so vivacious, witty, awesome, and beautiful; I thank her parents.
Don't it bother Bill and Ken and Linda that Monica looks younger and prettier than they did at those ages?
Why is she the only one getting blame?
I’m not saying what he did was right but it’s very similar to the whole trump and stormy Daniels but the difference stormy daniels is not victimizing her self
Its been 20 years can they find legitimate ways to make money
Are you blind? She is talking about repeated incidents of miss use of power and is advocating for victims of cyber bullying. Plus, no one - including in the UK would employ her so if she can use her trauma to shine a light on power dynamics and cyber bullying - she should!
@@caroshmarow Agree with you. This is her one big strength now - surviving this big mistake in her life and the onslaught of international public shame for decades. She is using it as well as she can. I commend her for that.
if it was love why didn't you advocate divorce and remarriage....passionately why was it more cosy to be second stage,..i ´ll never understand that and the deluge of a waste of lives and energies.....its sad,love should always win with honor .....
So at the time President Clinton was almost 50 years old, and she was 22. Sorry, but any person in a position of power like that should understand that they would be taking advantage of the younger individual. It’s inappropriate to the extreme. He could literally have been her father in terms of age difference. I feel nothing but compassion for Monica Lewinsky and I hope that she achieves a great deal of success moving forward.
This wasn't her first rodeo with a married man.
And it wasn't Bill's first affair.
She slept with a married man...no me 2 movement..she got caught..if she didn't she would have not felt guilty..immoral..
He was guilty as well..but for her to play victim..NO..
Karen Miller I absolutely agree with you. Finally someone makes sense.
Thank you!
that's the problem. society is wayyy harsher on women than men. they were both guilty. 'she slept with a married man' is what you say...what about penalizing Clinton for straying from his vows. Oh wait, I bet you think that's just fine right?
he was married he should not have cheated on his wife period he took the vows not her his the one who was older more powerful... she was wrong too
@Steven Evans yes,she playing victim..
Also NaME Calling IS Very Low class.disagree fine..But To Do A PUTDOWN IS Very disrespectful.
Good day!
Reading the comments shows why America is so mess up who are we to judge......
Oh yeah, she's justified in her 22 year old mind he cares about her.
These ones have no relevance except bill Clinton. Every other year they come with a revised version of the story n' scandal. Absolutely pathetic. It happened, move on!!!!
I blame Clinton more than her, however, getting involved with a married man is never good! Being in 'love' doesn't justify it nor does threatening the President in order to keep the relationship intact. Bill Clinton was obviously feeling disconnected with Hillary otherwise he wouldn't have been looking for a relationship outside the marriage. However, that is no excuse for the affair either. Lying about the affair didn't justify the relationship nor attacking her character. Sadly these two are going to be living with a decision they both made that wasn't good!
Old news who cares she wasnt a child she knew what she was DOING if want for that nobody wold know whoshe was
Plus she’s forced to tell the truth because of the tapes . So her including her flashing her thong in the series was definitely because every detail was already out there including why she was such an open book when she was on trial.
Stop showing Monica L. No one really cares. There is no excuse fir what she did. She was a loose goose.
She knew what she was doing they have no say
Imagine raising a woman like that.
Imagine raising a man like Clinton!
Watch for the reaction of the lady sitting on the right, at the end of the video.
Monica looks like a Goddess and he now looks like a shribbled old prune…so happy she has found her way through the storm. We all make mistakes and she truly seems remorseful. 🦋✨
Amen to all that !
ENOUGH! Now her parents are talking about this once hot mess that is now cold? Is a book deal coming out or a movie? Is Monica trying to attach herself to the Clinton estate and this is the ground level for a lawsuit? Enough, already.
I'm glad someone else is catching on to this.
People, just remember:
OUR CHOICES HAVE POWER TO BUILD US OR, DESTROY US.
The two sides are to blame here.
Agreed.
Never trust anyone
She was wrong he was married you can not get mad at Hillary for anything she said or feels about Monica Lewinsky because Monica Lewinsky was dead wrong
Umm, no Might mouse... 16 is just a kid, 20 is a consenting adult. Monica knew what she was getting herself into and she wanted this fame. She wrote several books, a ton of TV interviews and decades later Monica's parents are in the spotlight to keep Monica's fame from dying. I'll see you in another Decade speaking about this...
mouse Monica Lewinsky even said out of her on mouth that if she ever saw Hillary she would apologize to her she even knows that she was wrong
He knew he was married also he took vows to his wife so he apart of the blame also. It takes two to tango.
I was 22 years old 1 time in my life. And I was the responsible one... I wasn't the home wrecker...
They both were wrong. But he is a married man and lied under oath about the whole thing.
that young lady was taken advantage of leave her alone poor girl
She pulled up her dress and showed him her thong!
Barbara Walters interview!
Karen Miller well Karen I didn't know that I guess her hormones where raging I'm sure the White House has video tape of that each room is videotaped
Chloe & Sophia yeah I know she was adult but in a Father's Eyes she's a little girl and I bet your cat's name is Chloe I had a cat named Chloe
she knew what she was doing
Terryankev Miller well I hope she knew what she was doing
She was very young and stupid to get herself in a like that! After watching the interview last night it was clear she wanted him more than he wanted her. It always will haunt her, but she was 22 and quite frankly it was a lot of money involved so she benefited from it more than she had to lose - which was her dignity!
And what about him....he was still married and have daughters
Can't put the blame all on Monica Lewinsky, because we all human and no one is perfect. Bill Clinton should have known better himself. A grown man acting in a unlawful manner . Monica Lewinsky is an incredible woman and a strong soul ! God Speed to Monica Lewinsky for her strength for living past everything she has been put through !!
let's not forget Bill Clinton's son Danny Williams he didn't get any justice either
What does Danny Wiliams have to do with any of this (apart from the fact that we already know Clinton is a lying creep). And there still is no evidence to prove that he is his son...
In my humble opinion, it's always preferable to come clean. The one good thing to do- Nothing else is required.
Hey lewinsky where are you.. Love you so much
Linda Tripp is the worst fried in the world
She was of age. Her lack or morality is her issue.
@country There is no issue because they were both adults when it happen.
country no it’s really not
HinHwood but not bill's??? I voted for him but he was wrong...
God bless y’all !!!
@HinHwood - She was of age, you are right there. As far as lack of morality, well we could go after both, but how about the person who leaked this to the press, Linda Tripp? What I think is so sad about this issue is that people either blame Bill or Monica. They were 2 consenting adults. We would not even know about this if Linda Tripp had not secretly recorded the convos between her and Monica, so Tripp is the snake here. But people go after either Bill or Monica based on their political persuasion.
Still no matter what, Mom & Dad share some responsibility for not teaching Monica about right....or wrong!
Maybe they did and she decided to make her OWN Decision as A Adult!!!!
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Free will, from the beginning of time.
I didn’t feel bad for her until now. Terrible.. what they experience, many affairs remain private the government drag even her parents really sad and a very scary situation for any one. At that age we do stupid things... I was at that age sexually harassed by my box and clients.. and didn’t say much to anyone .. I was afraid... I can imagine how terrified to be confronted by the FBI and kept in a room for hours.
Don't. She knew exactly what she was doing at age 22. I know I was at her age...
"the government drag even her parents'' What are you talking about, they are talking to the media willingly for payment. She's worth millions without ever having kept down a job. All interviews & book
Biggest histoy in american presidency history!!! harsh , anguishes,funn and weir journey. Vanity of humanity.
Bill could be first man?
Incredible trial for a brief moment of tingling sensation 😢
Live and let learn I say leave them all alone now. Its done and dusted
There was not only a BIG age gap between the POTUS and this intern, but also an enormous power differential. He was married, she was not. He had everything to lose and she did not. While Monica was not entirely innocent, Bill Clinton is much more culpable than she is in this. He should have known better yet acted with such indiscretion, not only with her, but several other women. I'm glad she pulled thru this ordeal and speaks out now about the lessons she's learned.....
Her mother is a good looking woman.it happened they should just let this girl live her life and let all this fade.
My heart goes out to her yes, but I'm thinking she should never have been an intern in the first place. She got where she was by family connections, not merit. He was basically unscathed because of his privilege, but she became an intern for the same reasons. If she had achieved it by a true career aspiration she may not have participated in a dalliance that could be life-ruining for her.
That explains a lot. I've never understood why someone who has an internship with a president of a country would even be thinking of doing something so frivolous as fooling around with the president? I mean with an opportunity like that not even the sky is the limit for you. I don't believe anyone who genuinely worked hard to get that internship would have wasted it like that.
she broke now and she wants to make money.....#goawaylewinsky....enough of u already
She has no moral standards , and neither does him.
Sorry but it takes two to tango
Be wary of 'friends' like Linda Tripp. What an utterly disgraceful woman!
I would hate to be Monica Lewinsky. I thought Monica was like 35 when this happened.
This doesnt mean anything now
He used her as he did many women and then lied and treated her like she was than human.
"Entangled"
Could L. Tripp do what she did, if Monika didn´t do what she had done? What started it? Monika knew very well that Clinton had many affairs, RIGHT? So who is the most responsible person in this whole mess? HER. If she wasn´t playing the victim and capitalizing on it all for over 20 years and admitted her complicity in it, it would not be so bad.
The mole on Linda Tripp’s face was substantial
Gorgeous, intelligent .. got into crazy situation
That is not a good friend she had she betrayed her badly
Pound those cheeks Bill!!!
Lmao she said she was gonna tell her mom
These kind of stuff never will happen in India .... Most shameful period for US of A .... :))
You're joking if you think if this kind of stuff doesn't happen in India. It happens all around the world. Speaking as one Indian to another.
Monica has been tortured
Good
1st Rule a Moral Person " Do not kiss and tell", be responsible for one's action. "Washing dirty linen in public" is reprehensible.
A President is primarily a "Moral" Leader. And we all need to be aware of our 'errors' no matter how 'right' they seem. As the ability to process all the faculties of forgiveness is our Islam ( to surrender our mind body and soul to the One ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGN GOD, the God of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and the Last Prophet Mohammed peace be upon them all. Increase the peace from U.K. Thank you.
I can understand her feeling betrayed by Trip but she told her to hang on to that dress& not have it cleaned. If not 4that she wud not have had any evidence & they really wud have crucified her(not that they didn't ruin her life)!
She's a survivor!!
Where's the Me Too movement now?? Only applies to others I guess
What does me too have to do with an adult woman flashing her thong at an adult man and happily beginning a consensual affair?
FROM A ROMANTIC, GENTLE TOUCH TO A KILLING CROUCHING CLAWS ON THE NECK... BLACK WIDOW TACTIC.
It was a two sided affair but only Monica has suffered.
Uh, Hillary suffered.
He was married... there are consequences.. those consequences are amplified by his position as president and the media. The tears and the theatrics dont minimised her bad choices. Repeats: he was married .
Nobody cares
Monica regrets the whole ordeal.
She knew he was a married man and she was of age and it was consensual. I don't understand all the drama. People cheat on their wives everyday.Her only mistake was that she was young and emotionally involved and did not accept when it was over.If she had been older she would have known you do not threaten powerful people.She could have gotten such a golden parachute from this if she had played it right.
We love your strength Monica
Wishing Monica much happiness and that she lives a full and happy life. One relationship does not define you unless you keep bringing it up and WANT to remember it.I still don't think we know all there is to know about this 'relationship' but it wouldn't change how I feel. I voted for Clinton, I'm still a fan of his but the relationship with an intern was just plain wrong.
She fell in love with a cowardly jerk. She's such an admirable person. He, not.
Dont feel bad. We've all gargled a hog or two...
It seems Linda Tripp and Ken Starr were the villains of this story. Thanks to them, Monica Lewinsky was victimized once again.
Are you all bind? Why this misguided empathy for this woman who created a disaster in USA and afterwards made the entire life money off of this ???
Really? Get over it.
Really, the parents??
Ugh Linda🙄
I didn’t know Bernard Lewinsky was born in El Salvador 😳
She slept with a married man. She is not a victim
