A new documentary series offers an emotional look behind the mask of someone who has stood stoic in the public eye for decades. In the A&E series, "The Clinton Affair," Monica Lewinsky is more forthright than she's been in years about her relationship with former President Bill Clinton.
In the A&E series, which premieres this Sunday, Lewinsky talks about the highs of her time at the White House. At one point she describes how she felt being called in by Clinton, "I don't think my heart had ever beat as fast."
And the lowest of lows, when she was confronted by FBI agents about the affair.
"I remember looking out the window and thinking the only way to fix this was to kill myself, was to jump out the window
.I just I was mortified and afraid of what this was going to do to my family," she said.
Lewinsky, for her part, is focused on healing from the memories of that traumatic time.
"However wrong it was, however misguided, for who I was in that very moment at 22 years old. That was how it felt," Lewinsky said.

I do wish Bill Clinton had been removed from office, of course, but I don’t think that (or her father acting differently) would somehow have made her life better these past 20 years. She herself could have done much to live a better life, but she still would be known as That Woman who helped to bring down the Clinton Camelot (sic). In fact, she would have been much more widely hated and reviled among Democraps if the fiasco had resulted in Bill’s removal or resignation.

RE:
"She should go on tour with Hillary, neither one can let go of the past.
The difference is, Monica would have been glad to see the entire incident erased forever and live her life in relative anonymity. While dredging up the past in any shape or form is what Hillary lives for because it puts her in front of a camera and behind a microphone.
