Lewinsky to let cat out of the bag
Washington’s best-known former intern Monica Lewinsky is shopping around a tell-all book detailing her affair with former U.S. President Bill Clinton, according to American publications.
Clinton’s dalliances with the then 22-year-old — and denial of having sexual relations with her — played a role in getting Clinton impeached and nearly sacked from the world’s most powerful political office.
Lewinsky, who will turn 40 in July, is said to be shopping her top-secret book to publishers, and if written as promised will expose the tawdry details of the two-year tryst.
The New York Post reports that publishers must sign a nondisclosure agreement before they even meet her.
The popular tabloid is prepared to take the veil off secret love letters to Clinton — the man she once called her sexual soulmate — and detail his appetite for kinky sex in her $12-million memoirs.
The Post reports that, according to Lewinsky’s friends, she wants revenge for a life ruined by scandal, while Clinton went on to become a wealthy statesman.
“I’m well-known for something that isn’t great to be well-known for,” Lewinsky reportedly said in 1999. Since then, Lewinsky got a master’s degree, worked briefly as a news correspondent and launched a failed handbag line. Her friends told the Post that, because of her past, she can’t find a job.
