MAKING WAVES MONICA LEWINSKY

-

After reports surfaced that Beyoncé will change a lyric on her new album “Renaissanc­e” following accusation­s of ableism, Lewinsky is calling on the singer to make an additional rewrite. Beyoncé has faced backlash for using the word “spaz” on her song “Heated.” Spasticity is defined as an “abnormal muscle tightness due to prolonged muscle contractio­n,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Lewinsky tweeted the pop star also should consider tweaking lyrics in “Partition,” from 2013. “Uhmm, while we’re at it… # Partition,” wrote Lewinsky. The song includes a suggestive reference to Lewinsky’s widely publicized affair with then- President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
