Monica Lewinsky On "Reclaiming" What Was Lost [The Late Show with Stephen Colbert] (www.youtube.com)

Monica Lewinsky on the reclamation of her life, bullying, and her podcast on reclamation.

I get that she was caught within a political scandal, but what happened to her and since then is so much more than that. I hope this video isn't removed because of what happened in the past. This is quite literally the first time I've seen her since the late '90s and it was such a breath of fresh air to see her being treated so wildly different than back then.

I thought it was worth sharing and I think it's important to remember that the people involved in "scandals" like these are real humans like us, deserving of being treated with dignity and compassion.

Yeah, affairs suck, but hypocrisy suck more. This is a private matter and people need to mind themselves before they mind others and their doings. What was done to her was terrible and I'm so glad to see her picking up pieces of her life.

Fun fact for everyone. Back in the 90s during the whole Bill Clinton scandal involving Monica; she went on the Tom Green Show. Tom Green and Monica spent the entire episode trolling the media and having fun.

Tom Green was one of the few comedians to treat Monica Lewinsky a human. Instead Monica being the butt of the joke, she got in on the joke with Tom.

Time for a happy and a fuck you fact.

The vast majority of late night comedians (David Letterman, John Oliver, SNL writers, Bill Maher) felt bad about everything. Everyone except Jay Leno. Fuck Jay Leno.

Yeah she did a documentary a few years back that was pretty good.

I've said it, what has to be dozens, if not hundreds of times, over the last several years. What happened to her is a prime example of the hypocrisy in politics.

The fact that people sided with a guy who flew on esptein air plane over a young woman... Because media said so 🤡

Pathetic bootlickers sure are reliable
