Monica Lewinsky isn't a fan of Beyoncé's song "Partition" and took the time to address what she feels is a misrepresentation of her affair with Bill Clinton in a song lyric.
Lewinsky talked about her affair with President Bill Clinton in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Lewinsky addresses the misconceptions about her, including a line from Beyoncé's hit single.
The infamous line reads, "He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse/He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown."
"Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we're verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown,' not 'Monica Lewinsky'd,'" Lewinsky wrote in the magazine feature.
"It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," she said. "I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened."
Lewinsky acknowledged her relationship with President Clinton was consensual, but blames the Clinton administration for turning him into the scapegoat for the scandal:
"Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position. . . . The Clinton administration, the special prosecutor's minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle, and the media were able to brand me. And that brand stuck, in part because it was imbued with power."
Lewinsky also revealed after the scandal she received many job offers, but didn't take any because they didn't feel "right" to her. She added many of the job offers wanted to use the attention from the scandal to their advantage.
"I turned down offers that would have earned me more than $10 million, because they didn't feel like the right thing to do," Lewinsky wrote in the Vanity Fair article.
