ISLAMABAD: Monica Lewinsky, former White House intern, who made headlines due to her affair with the then president Bill Clinton in 1998, has activated her Twitter account.
Her profile explains her personality as a “Social activist. Public speaker. Contributor to Vanity Fair. Knitter of things without sleeves”.
“Exciting”, “brave” and “sincere” were some of the adjectives used by the more than 12,100 people who now follow Lewinsky on Twitter.
Her first post, “#HereWeGo”, received some l,300 tweets, with 576 people marking it as a favourite.
Lewinsky, after several years of depression, decided to try and make something out of her unwanted publicity and launched a line of purses under her name and appeared on several TV shows.
But then in 2005 she left the US to study in England at the prestigious London School of Economics, where she graduated in Social Psychology, and since then has tried to rebuild her life as far from the media as possible.
