Nearly 40, never married and living with her mother: The sad life of Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky - Single, living with her mother and still struggling with her weight - but 'set to make $12m with a tell-all book about her affair with Clinton'

Stepping into the pouring rain, her thick hair swept up underneath a cap and rather bizarrely wearing sunglasses despite the gloomy New York weather, the woman went about her business without attracting a single gaze from passers-by.

The first picture of Monica Lewinsky, 39, in public for the first time in a year, paints a very different portrait from the young intern who achieved global notoriety after her sordid Oval Office affair with President Bill Clinton.

But her low-key life may not last much longer amid reports she is planning to pen an intimate, tell-all book about her affair with President Clinton that will plunge her right back into the spotlight.

She's been offered $12m to write the book, according to reports and it is said to include her intimate love letters to the ex-president and how he desired threesomes.

Is it revenge on her former flame? She certainly must have been aggrieved to watch as he managed to keep his family and career together in the fallout that followed the affair. But for Monica, she has never been able to emerge from its shadow and be known for anything other than that girl who wore that dress and had that affair.

There is no husband, as she dreamed of, no boyfriend, and no children, despite saying that she was 'romantic at heart' and that getting married and having kids was 'the most important thing to me.'

Monica cuts a much different figure now than at age 22

I’d say her days of hob-knobbing are over.

I’d say her days of knob-hobbing are over. Just sayin’...

She committed fornication

As well as probably 90% of people on FR at one point or another...

[w1andsodidwe]

You are right. Almost everyone else that responded to my comment blames Monica not Clinton. I can never understand that kind of thinking. She made him do it? Baloney.

[camle]

so now we know where old “person in charge of BJ’s” types go when their lips go...

[Secret Agent Man]

the context i was discussing this in is that she was not a victim and not innocent but made her own deliberate choices. whether 90% of others also made the same choice dosn’t change this.

\He probably would have been considered an average President at best and now he is considered the best President (Democratic) after JFK in history.

A tribute to the Dems talent for 'creating THEIR reality' - at expense of harsher truths. (And a footnote to the Republicans susceptibility to finding themselves struck; deaf; dumb and blind to Leftist realities.)

Monica's 'dresscapade'/ and their mutual sexapade; painful as that was; did save Clinton 'treasonous' exposure of the darker side of Clinton,Inc. And of course; without Newt; Clinton's success would have been far less noteworthy.

[camle]

i do have a certain degree of sympathy for her, she IS the epitome of sexual harassment victimhood. the powerful superior taking advantage of a weak subordinate. in this kind of power relationship, she CANNOT consent. and now we know why the law says that she cannot. her life was ruined.

and those in teh senate, especially those democrats who wrote, sponsored and championed these kinds of laws bear some level of responsibility for what has has become because it was their responsibility to go to bat for her. not one did. heck,. not one senator even looked at the evidence.

talk about being thrown under the bus!

A good/excellent zinger. Thank you. You hit the nail on the head!!!!

[Pagey]

I'm sure someone will become her friend shortly after she receives that Wire of $12,000,000 into her bank account. Count on it.

[Mr. K]

THAT WAS A DAMN FUNNY BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE $MILIONs

I love the way you always referred to Janet Reno as a man

[Mr. K]

I agree with you

Yes she was young(-ish) and stupid, and did cooperate...

But I would never want to be held accountable for anything I did before the age of 25 (or maybe 30 -the age when I finished college)- jeez I did some stupid stuff. But thankfully most of the adults around me actually tried to STOP me rather than participate.

Poor girls life was ruined.

I heard she was a Republican now because Democraps left a real bad taste in her mouth.

[A Strict Constructionist]

“Did Monica ever repent”

Don’t know, don’t care, can’t prove it either way. Somethings are for the Man upstairs to decide, not us MORTAL sinners.

[Morgana]

“That dress saved her life.”

You can say that again!

[Morgana]

I hear you. She was young and did something very stupid. It is a shame this will follow her the rest of her life.

I am sure if she had a do-over she would never have messed with Clinton, but who knows?

I know she wishes things had turned out different.

You are right. Almost everyone else that responded to my comment blames Monica not Clinton. I can never understand that kind of thinking. She made him do it? Baloney.

Hmmm, did you read the Starr report? Remember how she flirted by showing off her thong underwear at him, or him performing anilingus on her?

Innocent little girl my foot.

Cheers!

So what if she flirted with him? He did not have to respond. I think it is sick that anyone believes that a flirty 20 something takes away all power from the President of the United States and he is powerless to resist her. GROW UP.

[grey_whiskers]

So, it's entirely his fault, even if she instigated, eh?

(This is part of the misandrist fallacy that all women are basically pure and are only corrupted by men...)

Cheers!

[SauronOfMordor]

Monica’s problem is that she would rather be single than to settle for any man who would actually want her, a problem she shares with a lot of women who see their status determined by the status of their husband or boyfriend.

There would have been men willing to date her - just not rich and powerful men.

Thanks much Mr. K! It’s nice to know that some people read and remember that book.
