Monica Lewinsky<\/a> is admitting what led her to make choices that helped ignite one of Washington\u2019s biggest scandals.<\/p>\n

More than 25 years after her relationship with then-President Bill Clinton<\/a> detonated into a global firestorm, Lewinsky admitted her desire to feel “special” led her down a path of “bad decisions.”<\/p>\n

“I think in some ways that’s part of what got me in a lot of trouble in my early 20s of looking for and wanting to be special and feeling that feeling of specialness, of validation,” she said on her podcast<\/a>, “Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.” “And when it came, I fell into that, making bad decisions a lot of times, not just in D.C., but a lot of different ways.”<\/p>\n

MONICA LEWINSKY BREAKS DOWN IN EMOTIONAL CONFESSION ABOUT CLINTON SCANDAL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Lewinsky for comment.<\/p>\n

MONICA LEWINSKY SAYS BILL CLINTON \u2018ESCAPED A LOT MORE THAN I DID\u2019 AFTER WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Her comments came during an episode of the podcast “Laura Day on Reclaiming Intuition & Turning Trauma into a Superpower,” part of a broader conversation centered on the idea of crisis as a catalyst for growth.<\/p>\n

At just 22, Lewinsky was a White House<\/a> intern when her affair with Clinton came to light in the late 1990s \u2014 a revelation that triggered impeachment proceedings against the president in December 1998 and launched Lewinsky into the spotlight overnight.<\/p>\n

What followed, she said, wasn\u2019t just political fallout \u2014 it was personal destruction.<\/p>\n

Lewinsky recently described the frenzy as a kind of “public burning,” as late-night jokes, media saturation and relentless scrutiny reduced her identity to a punchline on a global stage.<\/p>\n

Despite the lasting stigma attached to<\/a> her name, Lewinsky said she made a conscious decision not to distance herself from it, even as it became synonymous with one of the most explosive controversies in modern political history.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Lewinsky has reemerged in the public eye<\/a>, becoming an anti-bullying advocate and public speaker. She frequently addresses the long-term consequences of public shaming, particularly in the digital age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
