Monica Lewinsky Calls Bill Clinton Affair an “Abuse of Power”

by

Monica Lewinsky is getting candid about her affair with Bill Clinton.

For over three decades now, finding myself reflecting on my time as a White House intern and the events that followed, I’ve gained unique perspective on the worldwide controversy we collectively refer to as the scandal.

On the June 25th edition of her “How to Fail” podcast, hosted by Elizabeth Day, she shared that the love in question belonged to a woman who was around 22 to 24 years old. She emphasized that our perception of love changes and matures with each romantic experience we encounter.

She went on to express, “I believe there were feelings of limerence and other aspects in our relationship with him, who married Hillary Clinton in 1975, as I recall it back then. To me, it seemed more like a misuse of power.

TopMob News has reached out to Clinton’s reps for comment but has not heard back.

After her relationship led to the second impeachment of a sitting president, Lewinsky was often referred to as a “simpler-minded woman” and faced public embarrassment, contempt, and mockery for many years afterwards.

Despite being referred by a family friend, it’s important to note that the 51-year-old woman secured her position within the internship program through her own merits and efforts.

She shared that her initial job post-college was at the White House. She finds it surprising when people assume that such a starting point wouldn’t allow for professional growth and future employment opportunities.

She added, “After that, I also worked in the Pentagon and went around the world with my supervisor – who was the Pentagon’s spokesperson – and we accompanied the Secretary of Defense. I may not be exceptionally intelligent or the best of the best, but I certainly wasn’t a simple-minded airhead or a mindless beauty.

However, even though she recognized her value, Lewinsky acknowledged that it was a significant challenge for her to deal with the media and public depicting her as an innocent “mistress.

She acknowledged that the story seemed to have been carefully constructed by the White House. As a result, many women took up this perspective as well.

Initially, Lewinsky was severely criticized for her errors, but now she has underscored the importance of greater protection for someone in a similar situation.

She expressed her opinion that, in similar circumstances, a more appropriate response might have been to declare it none of one’s concern, and either step down or devise a means of remaining in position without deceit and without sacrificing an up-and-coming individual. This was shared during a February episode of Call Her Daddy, with host Alex Cooper.

She went on to say, “I can’t help but notice that we’re discussing the strongest position in the world, and I don’t want to be unrealistic about it.

Jason Kelce posted on Twitter in June 2024, responding to an observation about his appearance suggesting he doesn’t clean his lower limbs, saying, “Who on earth washes only their feet?

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On their podcast “New Heights,” he jokingly commented, “Who among psychopaths takes care of feet washing?” He then explained, “If there’s noticeable grime, I’d gently clean it away.

More than a decade following the “Twilight” actor’s disclosure about witnessing a clown’s death in a car explosion at the circus when he was a kid, it emerged that this account was not accurate.

According to Robert’s interview with The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024, he expressed no hesitation at all when recalling the incident. He exclaimed, “Goodness gracious! Are you possessed?”

Robert, in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024, stated that there was not a hint of doubt as he recalled the situation. He exclaimed, “What on earth? Are you under some sort of influence?

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

At that moment, it was shared that one of the clowns had met a tragic accident. His miniature vehicle, which was part of the act, suddenly burst into flames. Unfortunately, this happened right to him, causing great alarm. In response, everyone quickly evacuated, as it was a truly terrifying scene.

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian opened up about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, played a role in a private moment between her and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, during an episode of ‘The Kardashians’ that aired in October 2022.

Last weekend, Pete and I lodged at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and for hours, we found ourselves seated by the fireplace, engaged in deep conversation, as the SKIMS founder later shared with MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian. Intrigued by a tale from my grandmother, I remarked, “They say life is truly lived when one makes love before a crackling fireplace. So, we honored this notion, sharing an intimate moment near the fireplace, in tribute to you.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim commented, ‘It feels strange to think about my grandma before having sex,’ to which MJ responded, ‘Well, we were all young at some point.’

The deep love within the close-knit family of Mila Kunis and her spouse Ashton Kutcher, encompassing their 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri, transcends all limits.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She informed TopMob News in September 2022 that it encompasses the bathroom. In other words, it’s something common within their family, including children, to openly discuss and experience various bodily functions, which can be either positive or negative experiences.

Mila made up her mind following continuous knocks on the door and requests from her family to enter, causing her to respond: “Well, might as well save the trouble. I’ll just leave the door open.

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She remarked, “I hadn’t imagined that I would be someone comfortable enough to use an open bathroom door.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During a particular episode in October 2022, as The View panelists scrutinized footage about a woman claiming to have “sexual specters” in her dwelling, Sara Haines inquired the group about an intriguing point: “Could one conceive if they were involved with a ghost sexually?

Luckily for her, Joy Behar provided a response, joking, “I’ve been intimate with a handful of spirits, yet I’ve never conceived.

Whoopi Goldberg responded by saying, “I’ll simply let that comment pass.” In other words, she heard what Joy said, but won’t respond or address the issue right now.

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb share a very close bond, but there was something Hoda didn’t know about her co-host on the Today show. While preparing for an episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Hoda unexpectedly learned that Jenna often doesn’t wear underwear.

During a November 2022 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda mentioned that they both had to return to the dressing room before the show. However, she realized something unusual about Jenna – she doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She commented, “It creates a more appealing outline, I believe.” Additionally, she pointed out that there are numerous advantages to this choice.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears admitted that she was unaware of who Pete Davidson and Scott Disick are, similar to Keke Palmer’s viral phrase, “I might not recognize someone even if they were walking down the street.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’d like to share a fun twist on an old tale: Back in March, I re-shared a hilarious video on my Instagram featuring Pete—then dating Kim Kardashian—and Scott, who was once linked with Kourtney Kardashian, enjoying a lads’ night out. To my delight, these two had me rolling with laughter!

Apologies for repeating, but here it is again – this was a reshare. I don’t recognize the individuals in the video, yet their antics had me rolling with laughter!!

Before Chris Evans gained worldwide recognition as Captain America and People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer remembered him as the charming, attractive guy she dated briefly.

Approximately 10 years back, she shared about it on her “Whine Down with Jana Kramer” podcast in November. While she doesn’t specifically remember the number of times they went out, she distinctly remembers their final meeting.

At approximately 26 years of age, Jana mentioned that Chris had invited her to his residence, as he was hosting friends who were visiting from Boston at the time.

Jana recalled our previous encounter, which ended with him heading into the bathroom right after I had left following an asparagus-scented pee. We didn’t get intimate that night. Instead, he spent the rest of it hanging out with friends, while I awkwardly exited his place in the morning, mimicking the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

Eight years after revealing in an ELLE article that she had been struggling with a rare type of bone cancer (which turned out to be false, as it later inspired a Grey’s Anatomy storyline), writer Elisabeth Finch confessed in December that the diagnosis was actually fabricated.

Elizabeth confided to The Ankler newsletter on December 7th that at the age of 34, she told a lie which turned out to be the gravest error of her life. This deception only grew larger and more entrenched within her, becoming increasingly difficult to escape.” Furthermore, she stated, “I have never suffered from any form of cancer.

As a seasoned lifestyle guide, I’d put it this way: “Reflecting on my past actions, I acknowledge that what I did was a mistake, unacceptable, and regrettable – to put it bluntly, I messed up.

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

Sharing with The New York Times her extreme measures for a fresher look, the celebrity humorously admitted she wouldn’t shy away from most unconventional methods.

In June, she remarked, “Given that I’d have to eat feces daily for a supposed fountain of youth, I could possibly,” she admitted. “I could very well do it.

During an interview with Allure in July 2022, Kim clarified that her initial remark was somewhat playful, and although it wasn’t entirely outlandish, it might have come across as such.

Reflecting on it now, Kim remarked, “In all honesty, I might even consider eating dirt if someone claimed that consuming a daily bowl of dirt would make me appear more youthful.

She indicated that she might be able to squeeze in a small amount, as she said, “Perhaps just a little taste,” to the news source. “I’m not sure I could manage an entire bowl,” she added.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During a visit to “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in April 2025, the “Save Me” singer candidly shared his most mortifying experience without any reservations.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

However, it’s important to note that Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) hadn’t anticipated causing such a severe impact.

He firmly asserted, “I believed it was nothing but empty space.” Apologetically, he added, “Regrettably, the affection of the audience towards me has turned into sheer indifference.
