Monica Lewinsky gave her first public speech about being embroiled in the 1990s Clinton scandal and its devastating consequences. She was largely silent for over a decade as the story saturated American culture and reverberated around the world. At the time in 1998, the internet and social media did not exist, but the 24-hour news cycle rushed to cover the story, branding Lewinsky and exposing her to global humiliation. She was not prepared for the excruciating public shaming and its lasting effects. Lewinsky uses her experience to bring attention to the power of public shaming in today's digital world and calls for more empathy to prevent future harm through cyberbullying.
