She is looking back on her time in the White House.
Monica Lewinsky appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast Wednesday, where she spoke about that traumatic time in her life and why she believes President Clinton should've resigned following his affair with the then-22-year-old.
"I thought it was something it wasn't," Lewinsky, who interned in the West Wing between 1995 and 1997, said of her relationship with the former president. "My feelings were real and it was very frustrating and painful to have people talking about this in a way that was untrue."
As the headlines began to pour in and all kinds of things were written about Lewinsky -- from calling her a whore to labeling her mentally unstable -- the activist admitted even she began to doubt herself. Something that, on further reflection, she realized was gaslighting.
Lewinsky says she believes Clinton should've resigned from the Oval Office as Congress voted to impeach him for lying about the affair.
"I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would've been to probably say it was nobody's business and to resign," Lewinsky said, suggesting that Clinton should've been truthful about the pair's alleged sexual relationship as a solution to finish out his second term amid the scandal.
"Or to find a way to stay in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus," she added.
This marks the first time Lewinsky has made this suggestion, with the activist telling Cooper she has never been asked the question. Here's the entire interview:
