‘The Clinton Affair’, Monica Lewinsky Gives Exclusive Interview
Monica Lewinsky speaks out about her infamous affair with Bill Clinton on her own terms in the new docuseries “The Clinton Affair.”
In the era of #metoo and Trump, former President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky is ripe for examination again in the new documentary “The Clinton Affair.”
Timed with the twentieth anniversary of the scandal, the three-night documentary series from Academy Award and Emmy-winning producer Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and Emmy-winning director Blair Foster premiered on Sunday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on the A&E channel.
Indeed, early reviews have commented on the documentary’s themes that still resonate today: investigating presidents, the use of special prosecutors and the need for independent curbs on executive power.
Although the Clintons are not interviewed in the documentary, several key players are—including friends, lawyers and confidants of the famed political family, as well as Lewinsky herself.
Lewinsky is said to discuss the clandestine beginnings of her relationship with the president, her betrayal by Linda Tripp, and her experience with the ensuing media storm.
Lewinsky has since stated in the days leading up to the documentary’s premiere that she chose to participate in the new series to ensure that her experience “never happens to another young person in our country again.”
The film also explores the lawsuit brought by Paula Jones against Clinton, and how the president’s refusal to settle the case ultimately let the Lewinsky relationship, and Clinton’s lies about it, become a threat to his presidency.
The documentary examines the Clintons’ public persona and actions, hinting at the repercussions that would affect their legacy and subsequent professional ambitions.
Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, the documentary also touches on broader subjects including media, feminism, politics and power. It ponders if Clinton’s subsequent impeachment trial set the nation on the path towards a more staunchly partisan political system, as well.
Producer Alex Gibney is a documentary film director and producer. In 2010, Esquire magazine said Gibney “is becoming the most important documentarian of our time.” His previous documentaries include the Oscar-nominated Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, and the Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side.
“The Clinton Affair” premiered on Sunday night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on the A&E channel, and will air through the 20th.

Monica can’t this affair be over for all of us.
Oh please she runs out of money, she comes out opening her mouth. How blows you be giving every time your mouth opens, seems to me you still love him! ???
When is it the trumpets turn?? It’ll be the movie of the century with all his groping, marriages, affairs, kids paid prostitutes, lies, nazi family spawn, etc! Bring it on, can’t wait!
Really. Who gives a f**k? Clinton got in trouble for
lying about getting a bj,not because he got one. And look at his prosecutors, 2 of them were Newt Gingrich, having an affair while his wife lay dying in a hospital
and Dennis Hastert, later sent to prison for pedophilia.
Hypocrites much?
No kidding let it go !
Let this be in the past already focus on our crooked President Trump
TRUMP.IS NOT CROOKED,THE LEFT HAS YOU BRAINWASHED TRUMP’S THE BEST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD.
?
Can’t fix stupid

I wish she would just go away! Who cares anymore? We have enough isuues with the one in there now!
Who cares?? Don’t understand why this has come out now!!!
Rosaland Campbell pay attention. Its hate HILLARY..always at it..she still wants him…she sleeps with blue dress im sure
Rosaland because trump is paying her to stir things up again yet creating another one of his distractions.
She did it all by her self I don’t fill bad for her at all
Monica get over it.L I’VE UR LIFE.
She had her 15 minutes of fame years ago. She needs to crawl back in her snake den. We don’t want to hear her #MeToo story. She is not a #MeToo.
It is so unfortunate, Clinton was a great progressive successful president, his sex lust, brought a filthy spot, on his legacy.
Why is she getting another 15 minutes of TV time? Maybe someone should put Trump’s “hit parade” of flusies on TV.
And how many affairs from Donald and the repayments..
YUK!! Who really cares?? Not me!
Why??
She still looking to get famouse or is she looking to make some $$ money at time she was in her 20’s maybe 25-26 gave president Bill clinton a blowjob on her own free will bet he wasn’t her first so let it go…
Just go away and remember nobody wants to kiss u ever again ?
Monica,you were on 18 Years of Age,You wanted Him,I’m sure you Chased him,and maybe he chased you too.You knew he was Married,and you knew they had a Child,Bill knew it was Wrong too!After all these Years,i would think you had a Life&would have no need to revisit this in Public?Evidently,you have no other way to make Money,except for your”SORTED PAST”!IT’S OVER,HONEY,NOW GO AWAY!
She went to him
Don’t care to know.
She is fake hungry and irrelevant
Who cares…old news and not relevant
…
Oh so much blame placed on her…..what about Bill…just a week man!!!crazy!
Margaret Meixner you mean weak, but then again, she made herself available
I’m appalled at the slut shaming here. Jesus I hope none of you are or have raised daughters or sons….They are probably severely depressed, drinkers or use drugs from all the judgement they receive at home.
Kimberly Chall Popovich
What were you doing at 22?
Kimberly relax and don’t get your panties in a wad over Monica Lewinsky. ?
Who cares?
So.
I think Monica misses the di?k. ?
She out for blood ,the whore
Old news ,get a job !!!!!!!
Go away Monica.
Just as Love knows no such marriage but only Love knows what love is just as Love is love!! And all mankind have the same soul of Love!! Hence Judge not as Love is for sharing and can’t be owned by any means of marriage nor selfishness either!!
Bill said she also gives pretty good, I guess I shouldn’t say that online, but anyhow he thought she was a pretty sweet gal.
He was a serial womanizer all his life. Hillary prefers women too.
Slick Willy was a great Prez
At age 22 she knew better once a whore always a whore.
She needs to get somewhere, sit down and shut up.
Let it be among the Do nothingers. THEIR reward.
Remember the sexual tones at the time, sex was easier and with less negativity. Monica knew what she wanted and got what she wanted and Monica wanted Bill Clinton. Now Monica wants attention again and playing the victim.
20Years later. Is that all you’ve got trumpers?????????
Who really gives a fuck? I know I don’t and I will be glad when this “special” she is on goes off. And NO I will not be watching.
Monica Lewinsky sucks.
She must need the money- Trump would have given her hush money. She lusted for Clinton, made herself available, but it’s all his fault? Bullshit! But, Bill proved that a blowjob isn’t sex- what a guy!
Monica doing her yearly interview, maybe she needs a life !
I thinl she is a publicity whore. She says the affair was an embarrassment so why does she keep resurfacing every few years
Technically he never really lied. He said sexual relations… nothing about mouth fucking. His cigar on the other hand….
You have a wonderful following among National Enquirer types, Jack. Take your tabloid crap somewhere else.
