Monica Lewinsky details mental health struggles she endured during Clinton affair scandal

Washington (CNN)Monica Lewinsky reflected on the mental health struggles she endured in the 1990s amid the scandal surrounding her affair with then-President Bill Clinton, detailing in a new interview the toll it took and how she has reclaimed her story in the years since.

Lewinsky, a former White House intern, told CNN's David Axelrod on an episode of "The Axe Files" podcast released Thursday that the investigation into the scandal, which captured the nation's attention for years and eventually led to Clinton's impeachment, caused her to have suicidal ideations. "I just couldn't see a way out. And and I thought that maybe that was the solution," she said, explaining how she had asked lawyers working for then-independent counsel Ken Starr about what would happen if she died.

Never forget.

The Paula Jones lawsuit led to Slick Willie’s perjury.

Her first shrink went off track when he said “Monica, just suck it up.”

I wouldn’t give this person 2 milliseconds of airtime.

Monica, your actions lasted for a period of time, so don’t
act as if you didn’t have time to reflect on what you were
doing.

YOU and YOU ALONE decided to glom onto Bills appendage in
the Oral Orifice.

Go away!

Bill did what Bill always did. He cheated on his wife
and daughter.

Bill Clinton took advantage of Monica Lewinsky but she needs to move on. Change her last name. Dye her last name. Find a job in Normal, Illinois.

Will this ‘claim to fame’ be on her tombstone? Not all cemeteries would allow for public display of that kind of language.

Most young and inexperienced women don’t blow the boss. Monica made her own bed. I have zero sympathy for her.

To her credit she could have made millions as a porn star so, there’s that.

Can you imagine bumping into her somewhere and trying to stop looking at her mouth while not hearing a word she says?

At an open house office Christmas party a young 20 something seduced the company president into a blow job on the premises.

That was on a Friday. On Monday she claimed harassment and 3 days later she had a $25K settlement.

And every time her name comes up there is the string of crass cliches that are the hallmark of the lowlifes among us. She was victimized by Bill Clinton until everyone found out about it, then by idiots just like the ones who posted their clever crude comments on this thread and every other one that talks about her. I think you can guess that I don’t think too highly of some people.
