Monica Lewinsky joins Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy to discuss reclaiming her narrative after the public exposure of her relationship with President Bill Clinton. Lewinsky recounts the media's portrayal of her as a stalker and bimbo, and the impact of slut-shaming on her self-esteem. She shares the challenges of finding employment post-scandal and the difficulty of dating with her past notoriety. Reflecting on the power imbalance in her relationship with Clinton, Lewinsky acknowledges it wasn't sexual assault but maintains that she "never should have been in that position." She also touches on the double standards women face and the importance of younger generations re-evaluating past narratives.
