Monica Lewinsky scandal-related details resurfaced after almost twenty years since it occurred.
One of the most talked about scandals in history was the one that involved the leader of the United States of America. Monica Lewinsky scandal that emerged in 1998 shockingly involved the former U.S. President Bill Clinton. The said controversy was sparked after Monica Lewinsky, a 22 year-old White House intern at that time claimed that she has a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton.
The political sex controversy that was famously known as the Monica Lewinsky scandal resulted to an extensive investigation and eventually led to the impeachment of former president Bill Clinton in 1998. On the other hand, Lewinsky gained popularity out of the issue. She became involved in different ventures such as designing a line of handbags; she also became a spokesperson for a diet plan and eventually worked as a TV personality.
Recently this year, documents containing how the wife of the former first lady Hillary Clinton reacted to her husband's scandal went public. The Monica Lewinsky scandal involving Bill Clinton ruined his presidency and also jeopardized his marriage. However, Hillary Clinton amidst the controversy stood by her man.
The document disclosed was Diane Blair's diary. Blair used to be Clinton's ally and also her close friend whom she confided with her personal and public struggle. In her statement, Hillary Clinton labeled Monica Lewinsky as a "narcissistic loony toon". Blair also wrote that Hillary had suggested her husband made a mistake due to a personal toll that has taken him.
Moreover, the controversy that engaged the young Lewinsky has brought her celebrity fame. The Monica Lewinsky scandal broke off as Linda Tripp surrendered her secretly recorded conversation with Lewinsky. Their conversation reveals Monica's sexual relationship with Bill Clinton.
Though Monica Lewinsky became an instant star, she decided to move to London in 2005 as she realized that the U.S. spotlight has made her professional and personal life difficult.
