Monica Lewinsky says she would again apologize to former first lady Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, over the 1998 sex scandal that embroiled the White House and led to former President Bill Clinton's impeachment.
Lewinsky, who has become an activist for women's rights and part of the #MeToo movement, wrote in a personal essay that 20 years later, amid the public reckoning over sexual harassment and gender-based power dynamics facing the United States, that she has chosen to again discuss her relationship with Bill Clinton while he was married.
"My first public words after the scandal ... were an apology directly to Chelsea and Mrs. Clinton. And if I were to see Hillary Clinton in person today, I know that I would summon up whatever force I needed to again acknowledge to her—sincerely—how very sorry I am," Lewinsky wrote in the article published in Vanity Fair, where she is a contributing editor.
Still, she criticized Bill Clinton for appearing dismissive of the idea that he might owe her a public apology.
"For the first time in more than 15 years, Bill Clinton was being asked directly about what transpired. If you want to know what power looks like, watch a man safely, even smugly, do interviews for decades, without ever worrying whether he will be asked the questions he doesn’t want to answer," she wrote.

Yes she did....but I didn’t blame her for doing so. However she likely ad this TV Special lined up then so now i don’t see it in the save light.
She really needs to let dead dogs stay dead. Obvious she thinks otherwise.
Monica Lewinsky is walking on the beach.
She sees a lantern in the sand.
She picks it up and rubs it.
A genie pops out and says: “Monica, you have been very bad so you only get one wish!”
Monica thinks about this.
Monica says: “I’ve gotten pretty heavy. I’d like to get rid of these love handles!”
The Genie says: “Your wish is my command”.
And poof!
Her ears disappear!
This idiot probably imagines that Bill apologized to Hillary! lol
I guess it would go something like:
“Madame Secretary, I would like to apologize to you and your daughter for fellating your husband several times and letting him articulate a cigar in my vagina in the Oval Office of The White House. Thank you very much. M. Lewinsky”
Who can really say why she’s agreed to this TV Special ‘now’.....could be with the Clinton Stadium Tour coming up it’s her way to have her say...again.
Looks like everybody in past scandals wants to have a re-play these days. But one can’t blame some of them. As long the Clintons and Obamas continue to take the oxygen out of their parties then they’re open season to raise their past.
Ironic...as I remember, the only one of Monica’s family that condemned her was her grandmother in Israel. Flat out called her a disgrace, and stated she was glad Monica’s grandfather wasn’t around to see it.
What she really needs to do (and won’t), is to do like Donna Rice and walk away from the event completely.
Bill Clinton signed the law making him responsible for giving a deposition about workplace sexual harassment. He really was not made responsible for following it. Every sexual harassment class I have taken since has used Clarence Thomas, and not Bill Clinton as an example. Clarence Thomas kept hiring Anita Hill...Bill Clinton gave extra benefits to Monica Lewinski. One is against the law, and the other is not.
It is not the one we are taught in trainings.

No...she didn’t.
Not so easy to die on pills as everyone makes it sound.
I know a person who took 150 mgs of xanax and lived.
Unless she was mixing with heavy alcohol.
But in the end, it’s still quite a coincidence.
What else does she do?...for a living, that is.
No need to apologize, just give her some lessons. Or something.
Illegals are welcomed by democrats because they take care of needs that real Americans won’t handle. Why doesn’t Monica get applause from the left for taking care of the tasks that Hillary wouldn’t handle?
Actually she launched a line of handbags there for awhile, and was in TV commercials for weight loss company Jenny Craig..hosted a reality dating called “Mr. Personality,” all whcih were directly related to the scandal...
Then years later around 2014 she started her sdvocacy work.. did a campaign to do with cyberbullying which she felt she had endured. Last year she was part of the metoo thingy...again advocating.....so I guess you could say she’s just another speaker.
Apologize to Chelsea? Why? Did she do Web Hubbell too?
She was happy that Bill was not bothering her as she was running the executive branch.
