         Monica Lewinsky
         From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

         Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973) is an
         American woman with whom United States President Bill                           Monica Lewinsky
         Clinton admitted to having had an "improper relationship"[1]
         while she worked at the White House in 1995 and 1996. The
         affair and its repercussions (which included Clinton's
         impeachment) became known as the Lewinsky scandal.

         Monica Samille Lewinsky[2] was born in San Francisco,                         (London School of Economics)
         California, and grew up in an affluent family in Southern
         California in the Westside Brentwood area of Los Angeles           Occupation White House intern
                               [3][4][5]                                               Fashion designer
         and in Beverly Hills.           Her father is Bernard Lewinsky,
         an oncologist, who is the son of German Jews who escaped                      Television personality
         Nazi Germany and emigrated to El Salvador and later the
         United States.[3][6] Her mother, born Marcia Kaye Vilensky, the daughter of a Lithuanian Jewish father and a
         Russian-Romanian Jewish mother;[7][8] is an author who uses the name Marcia Lewis.[6] Monica's parents'
         acrimonious separation and divorce during 1987 and 1988 had a significant effect on her.[3][9] (Her father later
         married his wife, Barbara;[5] her mother later married R. Peter Straus, a media executive.[10])

         The family attended Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and Monica attended Sinai Akiba Academy, its religious
         school.[5] For her primary education she attended the John Thomas Dye School in Bel-Air.[11] She then
         attended Beverly Hills High School, but for her senior year transferred to, and graduated from, Bel Air Prep
         (later known as Pacific Hills School) in 1991.[3][4]

         Following high school graduation, she attended Santa Monica College, a two-year community college, and
         worked for the drama department at Beverly Hills High School and at a tie shop.[3][9] In 1993, she enrolled at
         Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, graduating with a psychology degree in 1995.[3][4][9]

         With the assistance of a family connection, Lewinsky got a job at the White House as an unpaid summer intern
         in the office of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C. and started the
         position in July 1995.[3][9] She moved to a paid position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs in

         December 1995.[3]

         Scandal
             Main article: Lewinsky scandal

         Lewinsky alleged that between November 1995 and March 1997, she had nine sexual encounters with
         then-President Bill Clinton that, according to her testimony, involved fellatio and other sexual acts in the Oval
         Office, but that none of them involved sexual intercourse.[12]

         Clinton previously had been confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct during his time as Governor of
         Arkansas, including a civil lawsuit filed against Clinton by former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones,
         alleging that he had sexually harassed her. Lewinsky's name surfaced during the discovery phase of Jones' case,
         when Jones lawyers sought to show a pattern of behavior by Clinton that involved sexual relationships with
         other government employees.[13]

         In April 1996, Lewinsky's superiors transferred her from the White House to The Pentagon because they felt she
         was spending too much time around Clinton.[3] Lewinsky confided in a co-worker named Linda Tripp about her
         relationship with the President. Beginning in September 1997, Tripp began secretly recording their telephone
         conversations regarding the affair with Clinton. In January 1998, after Lewinsky had submitted an affidavit in
         the Paula Jones case denying any physical relationship with Clinton, and attempted to persuade Tripp to lie
         under oath in the Jones case, Tripp gave the tapes to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, and these tapes added
         to his ongoing investigation into the Whitewater controversy. Starr broadened his investigation to include
         investigating Lewinsky, Clinton, and others for possible perjury and subornation of perjury in the Jones case.
         Noteworthy for its revelation of Tripp's motivations was her reporting of their conversations to literary agent
         Lucianne Goldberg. Tripp also convinced Lewinsky to save the gifts that Clinton had given her during their
         affair, and not to dry clean what would later be known as "the blue dress." While under oath, Clinton denied
         having had "a sexual affair", "sexual relations", or "a sexual relationship" with Lewinsky.[14]

         News of the Clinton–Lewinsky relationship broke in January 1998. On January 26, 1998, Clinton claimed "I did
         not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" in a nationally televised White House news
         conference.[15] The matter instantly occupied the news media and Lewinsky spent the next weeks hiding from
         public attention in her mother's residence within the Watergate complex.[6]

         Clinton had also said, "there is not a sexual relationship, an improper sexual relationship or any other kind of
         improper relationship"[15] which he defended as truthful on August 17, 1998, hearing because of the use of the
         present tense, famously arguing "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"[16] (i.e., he was not, at the
         time he made that statement, still having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky). Under pressure from Starr, who
         had obtained from Lewinsky a blue dress with Clinton's semen stain, as well as testimony from Lewinsky that
         the President had inserted a cigar tube into her vagina, Clinton stated, "I did have a relationship with Miss
         Lewinsky that was not appropriate."[1] Clinton denied having committed perjury because, according to Clinton,
         the legal definition[17] of oral sex was not encompassed by "sex" per se. In addition, relying upon the definition
         of "sexual relations" as proposed by the prosecution and agreed by the defense and by Judge Susan Webber
         Wright, who was hearing the Paula Jones case, Clinton claimed that because certain acts were performed on
         him, not by him, he did not engage in sexual relations. Lewinsky's testimony to the Starr Commission, however,
         contradicted Clinton's claim of being totally passive in their encounters.[18]

         Both Clinton and Lewinsky were called before a grand jury; Clinton testified via closed-circuit television,

         Lewinsky in person. Given an opportunity to offer final words on the matter, Lewinsky told the jury, "I hate
         Linda Tripp."[19]

         Subsequent life
         The affair led to pop culture celebrity for Lewinsky as she became the focus of a political storm.[20][21] In 1999,
         Lewinsky declined to sign an autograph in an airport, saying, "I'm kind of known for something that's not so
         great to be known for."[22]

         On March 3, 1999, Lewinsky was interviewed by Barbara Walters on ABC's 20/20. The program was watched
         by 70 million Americans, which ABC said was a record for a news show.[23] She cooperated with Andrew
         Morton in his telling of her life and her side of the Clinton affair in Monica's Story.[23][24] The book was
         published in March 1999 and also was excerpted as the cover story in Time magazine.[23][24] Lewinsky made
         about $500,000 from her participation in the book and another $1 million from international rights to the
         Walters interview, but was still beset by high legal bills and living costs.[25] Lewinsky made a cameo appearance
         as herself in two sketches during the May 8, 1999, episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, a program that had
         lampooned her relationship with Clinton over the prior 16 months.

         By her own account Lewinsky had survived the intense media attention during the scandal period by
         knitting.[25] In September 1999, Lewinsky took this interest further by beginning to sell a line of handbags
         bearing her name [26] under the company name The Real Monica, Inc.[25] They were sold online as well as at
         Henri Bendel in New York, Fred Segal in California, and The Cross in London.[25][26][27] Lewinsky both
         designed the bags—described by New York magazine as "hippie-ish, reversible totes"—and traveled frequently
         to supervise their manufacturing in Louisiana.[25]

         At the start of 2000, Lewinsky began appearing in television commercials for Jenny Craig, Inc.[28] The $1
         million endorsement deal, which required Lewinsky to lose 40 or more pounds in six months, gained
         considerable publicity at the time.[25] Lewinsky said that despite her desire to return to a more private life, she
         needed the money to pay off legal fees and that she believed in the product.[29] A Jenny Craig spokesperson
         said of Lewinsky, "She represents a busy active woman of today with a hectic lifestyle. And she has had weight
         issues and weight struggles for a long time. That represents a lot of women in America."[28] The choice of
         Lewinsky as a role model proved controversial for Jenny Craig, and some of its private franchises switched to
         an older advertising campaign.[25][29] Jenny Craig stopped running the Lewinsky ads in February 2000,
         concluded her campaign entirely in April 2000, and paid her only $300,000 for her involvement.[25][29]

         Also at the start of 2000, Lewinsky moved to New York City, living in the West Village and becoming an A-list
         guest in the Manhattan social scene.[25] In February 2000, Lewinsky appeared on MTV's The Tom Green Show
         in an episode in which the host took her to his parents' home in Ottawa in search of fabric for her new business.
         Later in 2000, Lewinsky worked as a correspondent for British Channel 5 on the show Monica's Postcards,
         reporting on U.S. culture and trends from a variety of locations.[25][30]

         In March 2002, Lewinsky, no longer bound by the terms of her agreement with the United States Office of the
         Independent Counsel,[25] appeared in the HBO special, "Monica in Black and White", part of the America
         Undercover series.[31] In it she answered a studio audience's questions about her life and the Clinton affair.[31]

         Lewinsky was the host of the reality television dating program, Mr. Personality, on Fox Television Network in

         2003.[20] There she advised young women contestants who were picking men hidden by masks.[32] Some
         Americans tried to organize a boycott of advertisers on the show, in protest of Lewinsky capitalizing on her
         notoriety.[33] Nevertheless, the show debuted to very high ratings,[32] and The New York Times said that "after
         years of trying to cash in on her fame by designing handbags and other self-marketing schemes, Ms. Lewinsky
         has finally found a fitting niche on television."[34] The ratings, however, slid downward each successive
         week,[35] and after the show completed its limited run, it did not reappear.[36] The same year she appeared as a
         guest on the programs: V Graham Norton in the UK, High Chaparall in Sweden, and The View and Jimmy
         Kimmel Live! in the U.S.[36]

         After Clinton's autobiography My Life appeared in 2004, Lewinsky said in an interview with the British tabloid
         Daily Mail:[37]

               He could have made it right with the book, but he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.
               [...] I really didn't expect him to go into detail about our relationship. [...] But if he had and he'd
               done it honestly, I wouldn't have minded. [...] I did, though, at least expect him to correct the false
               statements he made when he was trying to protect the Presidency. Instead, he talked about it as
               though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn't resist the
               dessert. [...] This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all
               the way through. [...] I don't accept that he had to completely desecrate my character.

         By 2005, Lewinsky found that she could not escape the spotlight in the U.S., which made both her professional
         and personal life difficult.[20] She stopped selling her handbag line[26] and moved to London.[20] In December
         2006, Lewinsky graduated with a master's degree in social psychology from the London School of
         Economics[38] where she had been studying since September 2005.[39] Her thesis was titled "In Search of the
         Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third-person effect and Pre-Trial Publicity." Since then she has tried to
         avoid publicity.[20]

         Lewinsky corresponded in 2009 with scholar Ken Gormley, who was writing an in-depth study of the Clinton
         scandals, maintaining that Clinton had lied under oath when asked detailed and specific questions about his
         relationship with her.[40]

LEWINSKY - Monica (Wikipedia Info)

  • 1. Monica Lewinsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky Monica Lewinsky From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Monica Samille Lewinsky (born July 23, 1973) is an American woman with whom United States President Bill Monica Lewinsky Clinton admitted to having had an "improper relationship"[1] while she worked at the White House in 1995 and 1996. The affair and its repercussions (which included Clinton's impeachment) became known as the Lewinsky scandal. Contents 1 Early life and education 2 Scandal 3 Subsequent life 4 References Monica Lewinsky, May 1997 5 Further reading Born Monica Samille Lewinsky 6 External links July 23, 1973 San Francisco, California, U.S. Education Bachelor's degree in Psychology Early life and education (Lewis & Clark College) Master's degree in Social Psychology Monica Samille Lewinsky[2] was born in San Francisco, (London School of Economics) California, and grew up in an affluent family in Southern California in the Westside Brentwood area of Los Angeles Occupation White House intern [3][4][5] Fashion designer and in Beverly Hills. Her father is Bernard Lewinsky, an oncologist, who is the son of German Jews who escaped Television personality Nazi Germany and emigrated to El Salvador and later the United States.[3][6] Her mother, born Marcia Kaye Vilensky, the daughter of a Lithuanian Jewish father and a Russian-Romanian Jewish mother;[7][8] is an author who uses the name Marcia Lewis.[6] Monica's parents' acrimonious separation and divorce during 1987 and 1988 had a significant effect on her.[3][9] (Her father later married his wife, Barbara;[5] her mother later married R. Peter Straus, a media executive.[10]) The family attended Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and Monica attended Sinai Akiba Academy, its religious school.[5] For her primary education she attended the John Thomas Dye School in Bel-Air.[11] She then attended Beverly Hills High School, but for her senior year transferred to, and graduated from, Bel Air Prep (later known as Pacific Hills School) in 1991.[3][4] Following high school graduation, she attended Santa Monica College, a two-year community college, and worked for the drama department at Beverly Hills High School and at a tie shop.[3][9] In 1993, she enrolled at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, graduating with a psychology degree in 1995.[3][4][9] With the assistance of a family connection, Lewinsky got a job at the White House as an unpaid summer intern in the office of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Lewinsky moved to Washington, D.C. and started the position in July 1995.[3][9] She moved to a paid position in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs in 1 of 7 6/7/2012 11:55 AM
  • 2. Monica Lewinsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky December 1995.[3] Scandal Main article: Lewinsky scandal Lewinsky alleged that between November 1995 and March 1997, she had nine sexual encounters with then-President Bill Clinton that, according to her testimony, involved fellatio and other sexual acts in the Oval Office, but that none of them involved sexual intercourse.[12] Clinton previously had been confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct during his time as Governor of Arkansas, including a civil lawsuit filed against Clinton by former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones, alleging that he had sexually harassed her. Lewinsky's name surfaced during the discovery phase of Jones' case, when Jones lawyers sought to show a pattern of behavior by Clinton that involved sexual relationships with other government employees.[13] In April 1996, Lewinsky's superiors transferred her from the White House to The Pentagon because they felt she was spending too much time around Clinton.[3] Lewinsky confided in a co-worker named Linda Tripp about her relationship with the President. Beginning in September 1997, Tripp began secretly recording their telephone conversations regarding the affair with Clinton. In January 1998, after Lewinsky had submitted an affidavit in the Paula Jones case denying any physical relationship with Clinton, and attempted to persuade Tripp to lie under oath in the Jones case, Tripp gave the tapes to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, and these tapes added to his ongoing investigation into the Whitewater controversy. Starr broadened his investigation to include investigating Lewinsky, Clinton, and others for possible perjury and subornation of perjury in the Jones case. Noteworthy for its revelation of Tripp's motivations was her reporting of their conversations to literary agent Lucianne Goldberg. Tripp also convinced Lewinsky to save the gifts that Clinton had given her during their affair, and not to dry clean what would later be known as "the blue dress." While under oath, Clinton denied having had "a sexual affair", "sexual relations", or "a sexual relationship" with Lewinsky.[14] News of the Clinton–Lewinsky relationship broke in January 1998. On January 26, 1998, Clinton claimed "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" in a nationally televised White House news conference.[15] The matter instantly occupied the news media and Lewinsky spent the next weeks hiding from public attention in her mother's residence within the Watergate complex.[6] Clinton had also said, "there is not a sexual relationship, an improper sexual relationship or any other kind of improper relationship"[15] which he defended as truthful on August 17, 1998, hearing because of the use of the present tense, famously arguing "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"[16] (i.e., he was not, at the time he made that statement, still having a sexual relationship with Lewinsky). Under pressure from Starr, who had obtained from Lewinsky a blue dress with Clinton's semen stain, as well as testimony from Lewinsky that the President had inserted a cigar tube into her vagina, Clinton stated, "I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate."[1] Clinton denied having committed perjury because, according to Clinton, the legal definition[17] of oral sex was not encompassed by "sex" per se. In addition, relying upon the definition of "sexual relations" as proposed by the prosecution and agreed by the defense and by Judge Susan Webber Wright, who was hearing the Paula Jones case, Clinton claimed that because certain acts were performed on him, not by him, he did not engage in sexual relations. Lewinsky's testimony to the Starr Commission, however, contradicted Clinton's claim of being totally passive in their encounters.[18] Both Clinton and Lewinsky were called before a grand jury; Clinton testified via closed-circuit television, 2 of 7 6/7/2012 11:55 AM
  • 3. Monica Lewinsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky Lewinsky in person. Given an opportunity to offer final words on the matter, Lewinsky told the jury, "I hate Linda Tripp."[19] Subsequent life The affair led to pop culture celebrity for Lewinsky as she became the focus of a political storm.[20][21] In 1999, Lewinsky declined to sign an autograph in an airport, saying, "I'm kind of known for something that's not so great to be known for."[22] On March 3, 1999, Lewinsky was interviewed by Barbara Walters on ABC's 20/20. The program was watched by 70 million Americans, which ABC said was a record for a news show.[23] She cooperated with Andrew Morton in his telling of her life and her side of the Clinton affair in Monica's Story.[23][24] The book was published in March 1999 and also was excerpted as the cover story in Time magazine.[23][24] Lewinsky made about $500,000 from her participation in the book and another $1 million from international rights to the Walters interview, but was still beset by high legal bills and living costs.[25] Lewinsky made a cameo appearance as herself in two sketches during the May 8, 1999, episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, a program that had lampooned her relationship with Clinton over the prior 16 months. By her own account Lewinsky had survived the intense media attention during the scandal period by knitting.[25] In September 1999, Lewinsky took this interest further by beginning to sell a line of handbags bearing her name [26] under the company name The Real Monica, Inc.[25] They were sold online as well as at Henri Bendel in New York, Fred Segal in California, and The Cross in London.[25][26][27] Lewinsky both designed the bags—described by New York magazine as "hippie-ish, reversible totes"—and traveled frequently to supervise their manufacturing in Louisiana.[25] At the start of 2000, Lewinsky began appearing in television commercials for Jenny Craig, Inc.[28] The $1 million endorsement deal, which required Lewinsky to lose 40 or more pounds in six months, gained considerable publicity at the time.[25] Lewinsky said that despite her desire to return to a more private life, she needed the money to pay off legal fees and that she believed in the product.[29] A Jenny Craig spokesperson said of Lewinsky, "She represents a busy active woman of today with a hectic lifestyle. And she has had weight issues and weight struggles for a long time. That represents a lot of women in America."[28] The choice of Lewinsky as a role model proved controversial for Jenny Craig, and some of its private franchises switched to an older advertising campaign.[25][29] Jenny Craig stopped running the Lewinsky ads in February 2000, concluded her campaign entirely in April 2000, and paid her only $300,000 for her involvement.[25][29] Also at the start of 2000, Lewinsky moved to New York City, living in the West Village and becoming an A-list guest in the Manhattan social scene.[25] In February 2000, Lewinsky appeared on MTV's The Tom Green Show in an episode in which the host took her to his parents' home in Ottawa in search of fabric for her new business. Later in 2000, Lewinsky worked as a correspondent for British Channel 5 on the show Monica's Postcards, reporting on U.S. culture and trends from a variety of locations.[25][30] In March 2002, Lewinsky, no longer bound by the terms of her agreement with the United States Office of the Independent Counsel,[25] appeared in the HBO special, "Monica in Black and White", part of the America Undercover series.[31] In it she answered a studio audience's questions about her life and the Clinton affair.[31] Lewinsky was the host of the reality television dating program, Mr. Personality, on Fox Television Network in 3 of 7 6/7/2012 11:55 AM

Monica Lewinsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky 2003.[20] There she advised young women contestants who were picking men hidden by masks.[32] Some Americans tried to organize a boycott of advertisers on the show, in protest of Lewinsky capitalizing on her notoriety.[33] Nevertheless, the show debuted to very high ratings,[32] and The New York Times said that "after years of trying to cash in on her fame by designing handbags and other self-marketing schemes, Ms. Lewinsky has finally found a fitting niche on television."[34] The ratings, however, slid downward each successive week,[35] and after the show completed its limited run, it did not reappear.[36] The same year she appeared as a guest on the programs: V Graham Norton in the UK, High Chaparall in Sweden, and The View and Jimmy Kimmel Live! in the U.S.[36] After Clinton's autobiography My Life appeared in 2004, Lewinsky said in an interview with the British tabloid Daily Mail:[37] He could have made it right with the book, but he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied. [...] I really didn't expect him to go into detail about our relationship. [...] But if he had and he'd done it honestly, I wouldn't have minded. [...] I did, though, at least expect him to correct the false statements he made when he was trying to protect the Presidency. Instead, he talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn't resist the dessert. [...] This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through. [...] I don't accept that he had to completely desecrate my character. By 2005, Lewinsky found that she could not escape the spotlight in the U.S., which made both her professional and personal life difficult.[20] She stopped selling her handbag line[26] and moved to London.[20] In December 2006, Lewinsky graduated with a master's degree in social psychology from the London School of Economics[38] where she had been studying since September 2005.[39] Her thesis was titled "In Search of the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third-person effect and Pre-Trial Publicity." Since then she has tried to avoid publicity.[20] Lewinsky corresponded in 2009 with scholar Ken Gormley, who was writing an in-depth study of the Clinton scandals, maintaining that Clinton had lied under oath when asked detailed and specific questions about his relationship with her.[40] References 1. ^ a b Baker, Peter; John F.
