This scandal robbed her not only of her privacy and job opportunities but the chance to have a family of her own

[@idivas_Tricia]

Do you have an idea what her net worth is? The scandal has made her a wealthy woman. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Since she likes older men, if she wants to have a family, I'm sure there is a rich 70 year old out there who can make that happen. That woman will be just fine.

[@irawilliams343]

@@idivas_Tricia I don't know if you're aware but for 10 years Monica couldn't get a job even with a master's degree she got from London. She had to rely on her parents for financial support during those times.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@idivas_Tricia You're talking about her current networth hon. For years she didn't have any money cause she couldn't get a job due to the scandal. Same with personal life. Learn some facts sweetie. Also, probably her taste in men changed over time. Have some compassion and use some logic

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Yes, that's the saddest thing. She probably thought it was all over then but the real hardship only started

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@irawilliams343 Right. I think many people don't know this and don't really care to learn

[@sharoncurtis5820]

I remember being the same age as her when this all went down. We all do dumb shit when were young. Its part of the learning stages. They just violated her in so many ways. How humiliating it must have been for her. She made the mistake alot of young girls make and they punished her for it. Politics are cut throat but what they did to her was beyond that.

[@kruggyy]

Nah she should have known better than to get involved with a married man, especially with the president of the united f’ing states

[@andyroo9381]

If I was uncomfortable hearing and watching this, I can only try to imagine how Monica Lewinsky felt during this tribunal. It had to be so humiliating for her. Society is tough on the woman and never on the man.

[@Victrola66]

Me too, like a public rape.

[@andyroo9381]

@@Victrola66 Well said!

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

I agree with everything until the last phrase. Men also face pressure from society but in different way, lets be fair.

[@Victrola66]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 yes, but still not in the way it is on a woman. Have you seen "Promising young woman"? Says a lot about us today. Men are still more protected than women.

[@narapoling8514]

Yeah I agree. But I still find it weird that we are just now symphasizing with her when it happened in the late and early 2000s. It’s disturbing and scandalous anyway and honestly kinda disturbing coming from both people in office.

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

It’s good to know that they didn’t portray Monica to be completely innocent. Obviously Clinton is worse, but Monica wasn’t without her role in the affair

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Right. Well she never denied it and was always honest about her responsibility.

[@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254]

What I admire about Monica especially now is her willingness to admit fault.

[@TheJoeschmoe777]

Its even better when you consider Monica herself was a produce of this show.

[@christinebernazzoli9981]

Monica was full of shame but Clinton could care less. Wow

[@sds6303]

You mean, Clinton *couldn't care less*

Most mean don’t care about sex when they don’t like you

[@narapoling8514]

Both should feel ashamed, and Clinton should more because he’s he president and needs to take responsibility

[@jessicavictoriacarrillo7254]

Jaw dropping that Monica was on the stand I keep hearing about the Aunties who sympathized with her

[@fbueller]

Where had you heard this before?

[@Galivantin]

Monica: "I want to hide under this table." The Grand Jury: "No, please, that's probably how everything started." Somehow "Police Academy" comes to mind. lol

[@tommym321]

Let us all……gaze………at this picture

[@hindaschneider5206]

I know how she feels.

[@supriyam6896]

I am not American and I don't know whole story. I understand it is a consenual relationship. So, why is this a crime? And why only monica on stand?

[@supriyam6896]

@@Veachie Thank you for your explanation. Few months ago, I saw the show and now I have better understanding of whole saga. You have summarised it well.

[@bishwajitkashyap640]

Hey can someone explain Two adults having sexual relationship. How is this a problem??

[@bishwajitkashyap640]

@@Veachie if someone wants to not reveal about his affair is that a problem in general? For president I can underatand

[@bishwajitkashyap640]

@@Veachie thanks for clearing that up. So basically clinton fucked up. He should have accepted his affair with monica and everybody would then go home happily.

[@bensonfang1868]

He lied under oath and also tried to get her to lie

[@KL-ki8db]

The lying under oath part is why the affair was problematic.

[@ymb7873]

The problem lies more on how she became the burden of shame for it, with the media and the government working against her. Bill basically got off Scot fucking free.

[@andrispaez374]

Unbelievable

[@paperchain1239]

Imho there always only one full of guilt.

[@hothotheat3000]

She chose to engage with a married father, who was also the President. What did she expect?!

[@syxoed]

lmaoo

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@syxoed Nothing lmao about it

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

She didn't expect it to become public. Once again, you're judging a young woman and completely ignoring the man's fault (the married man who should have known better). Noone says that Monica is victim, she herself admits that she shares part of responsibility for what transpired. However, she still doesn't deserve all this. She made a mistake, yes, but so did Clinton, and only Monica paid the price.

[@bjaded6695]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Clinton was impeached and had his private sexual affair aired for everyone to see. He paid I’m ways we don’t know and in very public ways as well. What more do people want to happen to him? Having an affair isn’t illegal. It’s been more than 20 years yet Monica can’t put this behind her. She’s doing just fine now and should have moved on a long time ago.
