Monica Lewinsky

You're like, I'm a fucking adult now. I know everything. I'm so sorry to tell you. You will look back on this time and be like, oh... Little 20-year-old me. Little girl. Yeah, no. So I, you know, I thought it was something it wasn't. And my feelings were real. And it was very frustrating and painful to... To have people talking about this in a way that was untrue.

Oh, a hundred percent. I think that there were, um, you know, right. That's the whole, the whole goal of gaslighting. Right. So, I mean, I don't think the white house's intention was to gaslight me. I think the intention was to stay in power and to get out of legal jeopardy, but that, I think that is the core of being gaslit is you do start to doubt yourself.

There were many moments. It's interesting, in the moment, the rock bottom moment was probably, it was several months into the investigation and I guess whatever the layering of whatever had come out in the news that day, whatever it was, it was just too much. And I had remembered thinking, okay, I was able to, the first two weeks of the investigation, I didn't have a therapist.

I couldn't go on medication. And eventually I was able to get a therapist who had to be a forensic psychologist, who was amazing, Dr. Susan. I'm still grateful to her today. And yeah, I remember thinking like, okay, I'm gonna call her. And if she answers, then I'm staying. And if she doesn't, I'm out. So I think for me, that was rock bottom.

And that, again, just kind of the maelstrom of media and 24-hour news and the internet, the report coming out was the first time that you missed history being made if you didn't have access to the internet. Google had just launched. Web traffic doubled overnight. Like, it's just, those are the kinds of things that we just can't even fathom now, right?

I mean, and this was all pre-social media, but, you know, all the news outlets had, like, WWW representation and comment sections and things like that. So... That was a moment where I think – I don't know. Sorry, I'm babbling a bit. No, you're doing great.

I don't know if you ever had anything like this when you were growing up, but I had a couple of different moments in grade school where it was like – I did something embarrassing and that feeling of like, I don't want to go to school. The whole class knows. The whole grade knows. Everybody's going to this and that. And so that's one level of what we experience.
