Monica Lewinsky Now: “I Was...Possibly The 1st...Whose Global Humiliation Was Driven By The Internet”

Monica Lewinsky now is a totally different Monica than the one from the nostalgic '90s. After her affair with President Bill Clinton had gone public, she withdrew from the public scene and for the first time after President Nixon was subject to impeachment hearings, President Clinton too underwent humiliation and a call to step down from Senators and Congressmen.

Reports say that Monica Lewisnky now is part of the Clinton nostalgia created by Internet sites like Tumblr, which has brought the White House intern and the Monica Lewinsky scandal back to center stage.

The, then, assistant to the President wrote an essay for Vanity Fair and broke her silence on Tumblr. In it, she posts, "thanks to the Drudge Report, I was ... possibly the first person whose global humiliation was driven by the Internet," reports Wire.com.

Her account of the Monica Lewinsky affair with President Clinton will go live digitally on Thursday: The highlights of the essay cite Lewinsky, as being regretful of the event. She is just 40 now and she agrees that the affair was consensual implying that Mr. Clinton did not coerce her into a sexual relationship.

"I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened."

Ms. Lewinsky articulated that she's ready to move on: "It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress."

She also voiced a statement saying that the Clintons did not buy her silence up until now: "I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth."

Rather than Clinton, Monica said that her abuser was the Internet. According to the Wire, which published last year that "Lewinsky is a big part of the '90s nostalgia that permeates Tumblr and sites like Buzzfeed. Beyoncé put her in a song on her latest album. "

The move by Lewinski could push Hillary Clinton's political ambitions forward, now that Monica has put the past beyond her and 'forgiven' the president.
