Monica Lewinsky made her first public appearance in over 10 years at the Forbes Under 30 Summit on Monday, speaking out against the reputation-shredding power of the internet. Now 41, the former White House intern spoke out against cyber bullying, saying that she hoped to help others by sharing her experience. Lewinsky spoke about Tyler Clementi's death after his college roommate streamed a video of the Rutgers student kissing another man. Lewinsky said Clementi's story inspired her to speak out. Lewinsky said, 'That tragedy is one of the principal reasons I am standing up here today. While it touched us both, my mother was unusually upset by the story and I wondered why. Eventually it dawned on me - she was back in 1998, back to a time when I was periodically suicidal when she might very easily have lost me, when I too might have been humiliated to death.'

Just when you thought that there was no way that the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky affair had any more life left in it, new recordings have surfaced that shed new light on their relationship. There's no way Hillary is in a good mood this week.
A brand new tape that was sold to the National Enquirer (yes, we know, but it does appear to be legitimate) contains a four-minute recording of Lewinsky as she persistently attempts to seduce Clinton back in 1997. She does not waste any time in letting him know what her intentions are.
'Since I know you will be alone tomorrow evening, I have two proposals for you, neither of which is you not seeing me. I could take my clothes off and start...well...I know you wouldn't enjoy that? I hope to see you later and I hope you will follow my script and do what I want,' Lewinsky was reported as saying in the recording.
The tapes were reportedly recorded back in November 1997, which would have been months after their last alleged tryst in March of 1997. In the tapes we can hear Lewinsky desperately doing everything she can to woo the president back into bed, though no indication is given that he intended to reciprocate anymore.
'And then that way we don't have to deal with the problem of me...of there being a record of me going upstairs and we can spend some time together and see a good movie,' she said. 'So I don't know, those are two proposals and you can

Monica Lewinsky's former rabbi who publicly condemned Bill Clinton during the sex scandal gave the benediction minutes after the former President took the stage at the Democratic National Convention tonight.
awkward pairing was likely overlooked by organizers because Rabbi David Wolpe is such a well-known figure in the Jewish community.
Time may not have healed all wounds, however, as Rabbi Wolpe was very critical of Mr Clinton throughout the scandal and wrote an op-ed three years ago reiterating those feelings.
The Lewinskys attended the Rabbi's Sinai Temple in Los Angeles for years and Monica went to its affiliated Sinai Akiba Academy religious school before heading to college, and eventually, the White House.
As the then-22-year-old intern's name became a national buzzword for having repeated sexual encounters with the then-President, her Rabbi came to her defense and criticized Mr Clinton.
'He was a brilliant, talented, extraordinary child, and for the leader of the United States we need an adult,' the Associated Press reported Rabbi Wolpe saying in a synagogue service around the time of the 1998 scandal.
That ferocity dimmed slightly in the following decade, but it didn't disappear completely.
In a column about another politician's affair, Rabbi Wolpe brought up Clinton again saying that it was more the cover up and slander that brought the disgrace with that instance.

Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky Scandal.
Rabbi David Wolpe of Los Angeles’ Sinai Temple, where Monica Lewinsky and her family were congregation members for decades and where Lewinsky attended religious school, is scheduled to deliver the benediction at the Democratic National Convention tonight — not long after Bill Clinton speaks.
Not only was Wolpe the Lewinsky family’s rabbi, he also sharply condemned President Clinton at the time his sexual relationship with Lewinsky, then a 24-year-old White House intern, was dominating national headlines.
“He was a brilliant, talented, extraordinary child, and for the leader of the United States we need an adult,” Rabbi Wolpe told his temple, according to a 1998 Associated Press account. He said Clinton needed to “cleanse his soul.”
And other news reports from the time noted that Wolpe accused Clinton of hiding behind a “flinty legalistic apology,” for his romantic dalliances with the young intern.
President Clinton will deliver a much-anticipated speech on Wednesday to close out the convention’s second night.
According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency: “Wolpe said his prayer on Wednesday evening will focus on the ideals animating the United States. … This year, Wolpe was named the most influential rabbi in America by Newsweek magazine and one of the 50 most influential Jews in the world by The Jerusalem Post. He is the author of seven books, and is widely known as a new

Monica Lewinsky Joins Twitter to Fight Harassment, Gets Harassed
Monica Lewinsky announced Monday a new campaign to fight cyberbullying and marked its launch by joining Twitter. “Having survived myself, what I want to do now is help other victims of the shame game survive, too,†she said in a speech at the Forbes' 30 Under 30 summit. “I want to put my suffering to good use and give purpose to my past.â€
Here's exactly what she's up against: Within hours of joining, her mentions feed on Twitter is already a cesspool of bullying and harassment. Apparently, Lewinsky has opted out of showing her mentions.
Issues with cyberbullying aren't limited to just high-profile figures. Average women face online harassment, too including serious threats of violence and even revenge porn. Amanda Hess has explained how social media giants typically handle such abuse: Women are told, 'Ignore the barrage of violent threats and harassing messages that confront you online every day.' Their default is to let abusive content stay up, since they are protected legally from what individual users post under the 1996 Communications Decency Act.

Monica Lewinsky is promising to reveal secret love letters to Bill Clinton and his penchant for kinky sex in a new tell-all about her days as his favorite intern.
Lewinsky, who turns 40 next year, is out for “revenge” and ready to air bombshell details from her Oval Office trysts with the former Horndog-in-Chief in a $12 million memoir, according to friends.
Lewinsky never got explicit in past interviews about her Clinton encounters, but now plans to describe his “insatiable desire for three-way sex, orgies and the use of sex toys of all kinds,” one pal told the National Enquirer.
The purported details of the potentially embarrassing tome come after the Post’s Page Six reported last week that Lewinsky was shopping a tell-all to several publishers.
According to her friends, Lewinsky also will recount how Clinton referred to wife Hillary as a “cold fish” and “laughed” about their “non-existent sex life.”
She’ll also release love letters she wrote to Clinton.
“In them, she opened her heart about her love for Bill and how much happier she could make him,” said the source. “Some of what she wrote was so raw that she never sent them.”
Lewinsky could not be reached and her reps didn’t return calls.
In the 14 years since she became a national punch line, Lewinsky has gotten her master’s degree, worked briefly as a news correspondent and launched a failed handbag line.
“No one will hire her and she can’t get a job because
