When did Monica Lewinsky

[strawberries]

start coming out talking? I fell in love with my boss, like a 22 year old.. blah blah. who brought her out?

Last I heard she was living in England because they were much nicer than Americans. That may be true so why did she come back?

geez... I am too old to go through this again

1. 1: An election is coming up, and this is a way to suppress Dem turnout.

3. no link

watching her on TV. She is talking about her shame and humiliation that she felt. She was number 0 for getting her reputation ruined online.

Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky gave an emotional speech about her role in one of the world's most infamous sex scandals on Monday in Philadelphia at the Forbes Under 30 Summit. According to multiple tweets from audience members, Lewinsky began by saying she fell "in love" with President Bill Clinton and that their affair was her "everything."

The main theme of Lewinsky's speech was public humiliation and privacy in the age of the internet. Multiple attendees say Lewinksy teared up as she discussed her "shame." She described herself as the first person to be the center of negative attention in the modern digital media cycle.

"Overnight I went from being a completely private figure, to a publicly humiliated one. I was patient zero," Lewinsky said.

She also reportedly discussed celebrity nude photo hacking and said the recent theft of private photos from several famous actresses shows "anyone can be next."

Lewinsky spent years out of the spotlight following the scandal that erupted after her affair with Clinton. However, she has recently begun a return to public life. Prior to taking the stage at the Forbes Summit, Lewinsky launched her Twitter account. In July, she began contributing to Vanity Fair, where she has also made online "shaming" a focus of her work.

15. You know, I have had the odd love affair go South

with bitter feelings during my life time, but nothing, no amount of money or fame, could ever entice me to publicly discuss it, nor cast my ex-lovers in a bad light.

30. Well, that's what happens when you throw in for a book deal with a shyster like Ann Coulter

[hrmjustin]

4. She got 26,000 followers in one day on twitter today.

[wyldwolf]

5. how many are real, I wonder.

[hrmjustin]

11. well i assume almost all.

[wyldwolf]

18. Why? Buying twitter followers is cheap. Several hundred goes for $5.

[hrmjustin]

22. i doubt she bought them. I doubt half of her followers will keep her very long.

She is almost at 31,000 now.

[wyldwolf]

23. I think there is a possibility her re-emergence is calculated

Garnering an impressive (looking) social media presence is lends relevance. It's entirely possible there is an astro-turf campaign to make her front and center again.

I said 'possible.'

[hrmjustin]

28. You may very well be right.

I was not aware you could buy followers. My account has never followed someone without my permission.

6. This topic probably belongs in the lounge forum.

Not evevn close to any political discussion topic

[In_The_Wind]

10. As an active poster in teh lounge ...

my two cents

[pinboy3niner]

13. Even the Lounge has standards

[In_The_Wind]

14. Indeed

[UTUSN]

29. Well, if Lounge lets *me* in... Just sayin' n/t

31. You are always welcome anywhere I am.

12. She came out of self-imposed media silence in May of this year in an interview about cyber-bullying

She came out of self-imposed media silence in May of this year in an interview about cyber-bullying (she was inspired to do so by the 2010 suicide of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi).

She's simply a person who has, and is learning. Much like many of us are...

[jehop61]

17. I'm very sure

she doesn't have any sponsor who just might have brought her back to remind us all of Bill Clinton's dalliance right before Hillary begins her run for the presidency. (sarcasm)

[Ykcutnek]

19. All about the road to 2016.

Her lame claim to flame will be bankrolled and utilized to its fullest extent.

[hamsterjill]

20. Because both Bill and Hillary have been stumping for Democratic candidates.

This is the remind everyone that Bill did what Bill did, and more importantly to imply that Hillary wasn't "woman enough" to keep her man from straying.

Republicans suck. Lewinsky is a pawn and should be smart enough not to be played like that.

[NaturalHigh]

26. I was telling my dad a few years back...

that a lot of people who wanted Bill Clinton kicked out of office for having an affair probably wished they had him back in the White House after Bush got in.

Not that Clinton was perfect. I'm still mad about NAFTA.

[LittleBlue]

21. I hope she cashes in

I doubt she's employable, being such a household name. Get money, Monica.

[NaturalHigh]

24. I don't know, haven't heard from her in a long time.

The last I head she had an online site selling purses.

[Nedsdag]

25. She wants to be the fourth Kardashian

If Kim can become a multi-millionaire off of a sex tape, why shouldn't Monica make something out of her notoriety?

I don't agree with this, but in this society it's anything goes.

[NaturalHigh]

27. That would make it four Kardashians too many.

Just my opinion, of course.

[Ilsa]

32. Hey Monica,

[FarPoint]

33. I second that Motion.

Pathetic opportunist at this late phase...

[Ilsa]

35. If she is so ashamed, why does she feel the need to pop out of her box again?

Yeah, we get it about being young and in love with the prez. We got it back in the 90's too.

[FarPoint]

36. She was just a horny groupie...

Nothing more..she is spewing delusional thoughts of false grandeur at this point....attempting to profit...she may of even been paid to come out of the box...dragging out her souvenirs and musty wares...

[onecent]

34. Hell someone's paying the bitch.

and Hillary's running...what a bunch of crap.
