Washington (CNN)Monica Lewinsky reflected on the mental health struggles she endured in the 1990s amid the scandal surrounding her affair with then-President Bill Clinton, detailing in a new interview the toll it took and how she has reclaimed her story in the years since.
Lewinsky, a former White House intern, told CNN's David Axelrod on an episode of "The Axe Files" podcast released Thursday that the investigation into the scandal, which captured the nation's attention for years and eventually led to Clinton's impeachment, caused her to have suicidal ideations. "I just couldn't see a way out. And and I thought that maybe that was the solution," she said, explaining how she had asked lawyers working for then-independent counsel Ken Starr about what would happen if she died.

She was given a great opportunity as a White House intern, but she blew it.
You may have been a naive Intern enthralled with such a powerful man at the time, now you're not. Sure there's some homeless campsite somewhere just waiting for you. Go away and take your scumbag boyfriend with you.
Me too. She was a young woman enthralled with the most powerful man on Earth and will never live it down.
I hope she is married and has children.
At an open house office Christmas party a young 20 something seduced the company president into a blow job on the premises.
That was on a Friday. On Monday she claimed harassment and 3 days later she had a $25K settlement.
I’ve been in workplaces with women like Monica. They definitely get a charge out of the taboo nature of their acts. One time a young “lady” came up to a group of us including the boss and announced she was “ready”. She was smarter than Monica, though. She had removed her uniform top and was wearing a t-shirt. We all nearly died of laughter after the two of them left for a nooner in the sub basement.
Bill Clinton and Monica will be starring in a new Science Fiction Block Buster! “Cigar Trek, The Next Penetration”.
As an 81 y/o female-—I have absolutely NO sympathy for her at all.
She should have known better.
Ever wonder if her blue dress was also tested for nicotine stains?
Pretty sure Hillary cheated on Bill-—
Chelsea looks like Web Hubble—
NOT a bit like Bill Clinton
Head job?
I agree.
I just couldn’t trash Monica and act is if that low life
Bill Clinton wasn’t an over 50 year old adult taking
advantage of her, and a long list of other women he had
cheated with.
I watched a series of interviews with her, interwoven with the whole scandal. I became more sympathetic to her also.
Remember she was only 22 years old when she got involved with Billy Boy. She seems to have made peace with the whole mess by admitting everything. She didn't didn't try to spin (you can tell because she didn't resort to slogans or popular cliches people use to hide telling the truth) and took responsibility for her actions.
Seems she was a naive girl who got used by Bill, then fell into a political maelstrom.
Bubba left a stain on her persona
Agreed. And, she was the target of crude remarks by Clinton apologists like Snakehead as bad as some on this thread.
Everyone should remember Monica was not the one who decided to lie under oath and commit perjury and obstruction of justice.
Paula could have had a better case if this scoundrel
had testified.
“If a jury believed McCuen now, that oral sex anecdote and others he related could be vital to Mrs. Jones’ case because they corroborate her charge of “quid pro quo” sexual harassment at work — using a governor’s power to reward women who cooperate and punish those like her who did not.”

Blew her mind?
Wonder if anyone here is watching the IMPEACHMENT: CRIME STORY series. The Linda Tripp character is legendary! They could make a ten year series out of all these oddball characters. Love it!
There's a vulgar woodcutting of a cemetery in the British Museum. Among many other ribald features, one of the tombstones reads:
Here lies entombed beneath these bricks
The scabbard of ten thousand p____s.
#MonicaDidntKillHerself
She was old enough to know she was trying to seduce a married man. No sympathy.
