MONICA LEWINSKY

Monica Lewinsky was born on July 23, 1973. She grew up in Brentwood and Beverly Hills, California. Monica’s parents divorced when she was 15 years old. After graduating high school, she attended Santa Monica Community College and Lewis & Clark College. In 1995, Monica earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the latter. That summer she began an internship for White House Chief of Staff, Leon Panetta. In November of that year, she began having an affair with President Bill Clinton. She accepted a job in Legislative Affairs in December 1995. In January of 1998, the details of her relationship with Bill Clinton became public. His denial of their sexual encounters under oath was used as the basis for filing Articles of Impeachment against him. After the scandal, Monica left the United States to pursue her Masters in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. She has gone on to become a small business owner and Anti-Bullying activist. Monica has written about her experiences for many different publications including Vanity Fair.
