LONDON (Reuters) - Monica Lewinsky says she feels betrayed by Bill Clinton's failure to acknowledge how he destroyed her life in his newly released memoirs.
In an interview with British broadcaster ITV to be shown on Friday, the former White House intern best known for her affair with the 42nd U.S. president says she was disappointed at how their relationship is addressed.
"I really didn't expect him to talk in detail about the relationship," she said, according to a partial transcript of the interview provided by ITV.
"But what I was hoping, and did expect was for him to acknowledge and correct the inaccurate and false statements that he, his staff and the (Democratic National Committee) made about me when they were trying to protect the presidency," she said.
In response to Clinton's recent remark to U.S. news show "60 Minutes" that he had the affair "for the worst possible reason -- because I could," Lewinsky said she "was really upset" when she first heard it.
"I have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself," said Lewinsky, 30, who has been a spokeswoman for diet company Jenny Craig and host of the reality TV show "Mr. Personality."
Lewinsky, who told her own account of the affair in the 1999 book "Monica's Story," said she reluctantly spoke out about Clinton's tome "My Life" because he tried to rewrite history.
"He says he was proud of the way that he defended the presidency, at my expense," she said.
"In the process he destroyed me, and that was the way he was going to have to do that, to get through impeachment," Lewinsky added. "I was a young girl and to hear him saying some of the things he was saying today -- it's a shame."
Lewinsky insists during the ITV interview that she had a relationship with Clinton even though he never uses the word in the book, instead opting for "inappropriate encounter" on page 773 of the 957-page autobiography.
"This is something that I never wanted to talk about publicly and I know he wished had never become public. But this was a mutual relationship, from the way it started all the way through," Lewinsky said.
Her affair with Clinton while he was in office and his subsequent denials of it led to his impeachment in December 1998 after a lengthy and expensive investigation by independent counsel Ken Starr.
ITV will broadcast excerpts of the interview during its lunchtime, evening and late-night news. There also will be a half-hour special, "Monica Lewinsky: My Side of the Story," at 2200 GMT on ITV1.
So this chic is finally getting the message that she was just utilized for her "skills". I wounder if she will ever figure out that she will be "stained" for life? Sad, but she had it coming.
The toon was impeached for lying in the Pala Jones grand jury hearing, not because he was messing around with a young girl.
I concur. She should of just kept her mouth shut, if ya know what I mean.
Billy got her to get under his desk real easy. All he had to do was tell her he'd talk about getting her a better job...... after he got serviced.
Man, I bet that little slut moved like lightning. The magic words were uttered --"better job" ---and Moanica was under the desk in seconds. That bimbo woulda done anything to get a better job.
Billy might well have a beef----he got impeached and that fat-a**ed slut walked away scot-free even though she's the one who traded sex for a better-paying govt job.
That's little more than prostitution.
I don't understand your point about how I "got it to fit in". OK, so they had long phone sex conversations on unsecured telephone lines. That still doesn't constitute a "mutual relationship" as most of us might understand the term. She thought he loved her and entertained notions of him leaving Hillary for her when his term was up. He couldn't remember her name, and he was using her, whether with her under the desk, or over the phone. Can you clarify what you meant?
If only she would get mad enough to tell whether there was any 'coaching' from the Sink Emperor's team during the course of 1998.
I suspect that if Mr. Lewinsky had been "any kind of man," he never would have had a daughter like that in the first place.
"Pssst, hey Moanica, I got a bridge I can sell you cheap....it's in Brooklyn....but to get in on the deal, first you have to open your mouth and......."
They exchanged several gifts and books. Do we forget the "neck-tie" code they used? The boy was in L-U-V...
So Monica should get even...
I suggest she attend the Grand Opening of the Counter Clinton Library which is scheduled to open in Little Rock the exact same day as the Clinton Liebrary.
She would steal the show away from Slick, and be in some very good company.

By definition, most skanks are...
'I was lost in preparation of the Nobel Peace Award acceptance speech when the silence of my well-documented concentration was broken. The unmistakable snap of a Victoria's Secret Spring Collection, size 5 thong snapped the solitude that had been mine. "Altoid?", she said, and suddenly the world seemed able to revolve without me, if even for a short time.'
Watching him now is fascinating; all about how they were out to get him, he was fighting a "titanic battle" with the GOP over "the course of this nation," which, BTW, he claims to have won, and never ONCE mentioning the fact that the only reason Ken Starr got involved was because HE told Monica Lewinsky to get Linda Tripp to sign a false affadavit and/or lie to the Paula Jones attorneys, just like the two of them did!
Bill Clinton did not destroy your life; he wasn't the one who made you dumber than a bag of rocks and more gullible than a two year-old child.
No but he sure took advantage of her if she was as you describe. But...thats clintin fer ya. Me, me, me.
I ain't a dainty thing myself--- But Monica was never a size 5.... 8 maybe.
RE: #5 Attractive girl.....
You are joking, right? From my point of view she is almost as pig ugly as Rosie and a blubber butt to boot!
'the shaft of light from the dying sun through the Oval Office window caught the swell of her bosom as she slid the extra-large pepperoni across the desk. I knew it was wrong. I'd penciled in that evening for bringing peace to Northern Ireland, but what the hell, the two sides of that troubled island's sectarian conflict were separated by as deep a divide as the plunging cleavage now beckoning from her low-cut angora sweater. Ulster could wait.'" ...

Would someone puh-leaze write the next chapter...FAST!! This is turning into one hot novelette!!
P.S. I'm thinking a size 5 thong might be a tad small.
"RE: #5 Attractive girl.....

Well...when she was trim (I think she was, for a short time), she was attractive, I thought.
LOL! Not only is she as dumb as a box of rocks, didn't she say to a friend that she was planning on earning her own Klinton Knee Pads went she went to Washington, and that she pulled up her skirt and showed him her thong underwear? Klinton is scum, but this "poor little girl" was an intrinsic part of this national embarrassment. Monica, go back home and make some purses to sell on the internet.
