In 1998, says Monica Lewinsky, “I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.” Today, the kind of online public shaming she went through has become a constant. In a brave talk, she takes a look at our “culture of humiliation,” in which online shame equals dollar signs — and demands a different way.

Internet was the only place willing to show Clinton lied to the American public and under oath.
This woman has serious mental issues. She obviously seems incapable of not humiliating herself further.
Anyone recall from those days her mother saying she (Monnica) had the mentality of a 14 year old ????
Funny that she blames the internet more than bill or her own stupidity.

That’s why Bill liked her so much.
How many girls who get DNA on them keep it??
She knew what she was doing.
More importantly so did Clinton.
Feminism has no grounds to ever accuse anyone again as they completely ignored Clinton's actions with Monica and all of the other women he abused.
I remember at the time a feminist saying they were more concerned about Clinton’s view on abortion that what intern he was shagging in the White House. Pretty much sums them up. “Keep murdering babies and we don’t care who you rape.”
Lack of morals is an issue with ML. Amoral behavior
Brings problems. It is that simple.
Certainly one of the MSM’s biggest double standards of all time.
It broke their hearts to have to grudgingly admit that BJ really did it after all.
Linda Tripp should get all the credit...she convinced Monica to keep the dress intact.
Without that, the story never would have been told.
This is what always has happened to women who chose to sleep with married men, it’s nothing new.
She was sexually harassed, she was exploited, she was cast aside by an older man, she was lied about, her abuser was never really punished -- and through all of that, the feminists, the Liberals and the do-gooders had nothing but scorn for her.
If Conservatives were smart, they would put aside their outrage at the mutual immorality and simply hold her up as a poster child for Liberal hypocrisy.
But ... no ... we pile on and do exactly what the Left does.
Sigh.
So that is the message here? The internet was mean to Monica? Nothing of Bill’s role? Hillary’s? All the other liars in the Clinton WH and media?
She was about the same thing Bill was.
A person with no morality, none at all.
Humiliation and shame are nearly extinct concept these days. Too bad they are essential for a functional society. Also too bad Monica hasnt learned that the cause of her problem was being a slut, not the internet.
They deserved each other.
She gets a Ted talk? The world is upside down—but we know that.
Recall that BJ Clinton said “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”, indicating that his definition of sexual relations was limited to normal penis-vagina sex.
It appears then that homosexual couples are incapable of sexual relations according to Clinton.
I’m pretty much on her side. She was seduced by the world’s most powerful man. Power the the world’s most powerful aphrodesiac. And who knows how he intimidated her. Bill had no shame and took advantage of the starry eyed intern. And once caught the Clintonistas did their best to destroy this woman.
Should she have known better, yes. Did she deserve to have her life destroyed to protect BJ Clinton? I don’t think she did. If BJ Clinton was just another guy he’d be sitting across from Chris Hanson explaining that he didn’t know she was only 15.
