Bill Clinton’s Oval Office Affair Rocked The Nation
President Bill Clinton was under investigation for allegedly shady business deals when a shocking secret was uncovered. Led by independent counsel Ken Starr, the investigation revealed a hidden affair between the President and one of his interns. Monica Lewinsky was a 22-year-old intern when she began a torrid affair with Bill Clinton in 1994.
The affair was already over by the time it became public in 1998. She was also transferred to the Pentagon, where she befriended Linda Tripp. Her so-called friend played a huge role in Ken Starr’s investigation. Bill Clinton initially denied the affair. However, at the urging of Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky saved a dress she wore during an intimate encounter with the President. The DNA found on the infamous blue dress confirmed the affair.
Monica Lewinsky, 53, Unrecognizable & Glowing Years After Clinton Scandal
President Clinton was eventually impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice for lying about the affair during a sworn deposition. However, the Senate voted not to remove him from office. Monica Lewinsky didn’t fare as well in the aftermath of the affair. She reportedly lost a huge job she had lined up and was the butt of jokes for years.
However, she decided to take control of the narrative a few years back. She spoke out about the victim-shaming she suffered from the press and the Clintons. Monica Lewinsky has toured the country as an anti-bully advocate and public speaker. She started a podcast called Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.
Many people look at the Lewinsky-Clinton scandal in a different light in the post-#MeToo era. Monica Lewinsky is 53 now and more beautiful than ever. A recent social media post comparing her from 1998 to now went viral. When an audience member at an April panel complimented her flawless skin, Monica Lewinsky joked that she had a great dermatologist. However, it’s not just her skin that’s glowing.
In the nearly 30 years since the scandal, Monica Lewinsky has changed from a fearful young girl to a confident, outspoken, and yes, beautiful, woman.
- “She is much more beautiful at 53 than she was in her 20s. Good for her!”
- “She’s a fantastic person who deserves all the best”
- “She was always beautiful”
- “I always had a crush on her”
- “She was never ugly in the beginning. She always looks pretty.”
- “She looks gorgeous and has stepped into her era of wisdom and empowerment. I love her vulnerability and realness too!”
At the time of her affair with Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky was a 20-something love-sick intern. Nearly thirty years after the scandal, she realized there was a huge imbalance of power. She said that Clinton should have resigned instead of throwing her to the wolves. The former President has publicly expressed regret, but has never privately apologized to her.
