Monica Lewinsky's enduring legacy: From scandal to red carpet star
24 July 2024 08:11
Monica Lewinsky was an ordinary government clerk whose life changed completely after her affair with Bill Clinton came to light. A considerable amount of time has passed since the memorable events of 1998. How does the woman, to whom the President of the United States himself was attracted, look today?
Monica Lewinsky began her career in Washington as an intern. Although she worked at the White House, individuals in her position were not usually expected to meet high-ranking politicians. In this case, it was different.
Within three years, the attractive brunette managed to earn the favour of the most critical person in the United States. With Bill Clinton, who as governor had already faced image problems and accusations of harassment (Paula Jones sued him), she developed a sexual relationship.
When their secret meetings (including in the Oval Office) came to light in 1998, the political scene in the USA was shaken to its core. For a long time, it was unclear what the truth was. Many experts predicted impeachment.
Monica Lewinsky later gave official testimony in which she confirmed that she had engaged in sexual acts with the president. The husband of Hillary Clinton (who forgave him for moments of indiscretion) denied everything, even during a televised address.
This is how Monica Lewinsky looks today. Her beauty is stunning
Ultimately, Clinton completed his term, while the accuser faced harsher consequences. At that time, fate was not kind to her. Time, however, has been most kind. A few decades after the scandalous events at the White House, the American looks spectacular.
In March of this year, Monica Lewinsky dazzled at the Oscars ceremony. Although she was just a guest, she quickly caught the attention of photographers. In an elegant black dress, according to internet users, she looked like Monica Bellucci.
A series about the fate of Lewinsky and Clinton was made
The 51-year-old's controversial but incredibly interesting past was made into a series. The first season of "American Crime Story" was devoted to a detailed presentation of those moments. Beanie Feldstein played the main role.
Sarah Paulson played the character of her false friend, who cleverly extracted sensitive information about Bill Clinton over several episodes. Did you watch it?
