Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky was a White House intern and staff member in the mid-1990s who found herself at the center of a global political crisis following news of her relationship with President Bill Clinton. As the subject of intense investigation by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr and relentless media coverage, her private life became public domain during the president's 1998 impeachment. After spending years in relative seclusion following intense public scrutiny, Lewinsky re-emerged as a prominent speaker and anti-bullying advocate. Through her writings, public lectures, and media production, she focuses on raising awareness about online harassment, human dignity, digital ethics, and overcoming public shaming.
