Opinion: What my friendship with Monica Lewinsky taught me about MeToo
her “a ditsy, predatory White House intern who might have lied under oath for a job at Revlon.” Lewinsky described the experience in her 2018 essay forI didn’t think much about Monica at the time of the scandal, I have to admit—or as much as I should have. Her humanity, her courage, what she must have been feeling—none of that was presented in the news.
Since getting to know Monica, I’ve been struck by the contrast between what I saw on the news and how I know her nowOn a personal level, she is one of the most generous, forgiving and hopeful people I’ve ever met. She is also a very funny woman, sometimes even a goofball. It is this, I think, that has helped me reach the final stage in my #MeToo evolution: my full understanding of Monica’s humanity. This understanding has been so pivotal for me because it has forced me to see just how much Ithink of her as a human back in the 1990s. It has made me realize that when we’re not getting information from the women in stories like hers, or even thinking about what the story might look like from their perspective, we’re not getting the full story.
