Monica Lewinsky Escapes To Canada

Monica Lewinsky returned to Vancouver, Canada this week to attend the TED 2017 conference, where the former White House intern who nearly brought down Bill Clinton’s presidency enjoyed a surprise address by his holiness Pope Francis!

The activist and designer once dismissed by then-first lady Hillary Clinton as “that woman” made a TED splash in 2015 with an anti-cyberbullying speech that drew heavily on Monica’s own experience as a target of online hate.

Now 43, Monica serves as an ambassador for Bystander Revolution, the anti-bullying organization founded by author MacKenzie Bezos, the wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

No longer the “portly pepperpot” targeted by Hillary’s minions in a dirt-digging smear campaign, Monica still favors blue when it comes to fashion, and wears it extraordinarily well these days. 

Monica, who once told a friend “there will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as [Bill Clinton] did,” steered clear of the 2016 Presidential race. Still, it’s not hard to see a pinch of payback in her Twitter feed, where she playfully retweets the postings of Hillary nemesis Bernie Sanders!
