Bill Clinton says he feels 'terrible' that 'Lewinsky's life was defined' by affair
Former President Clinton addresses his role in his affair with Monica Lewinsky while she was a White House intern as part of a new documentary premiering Friday.
The Daily Mail reported that Clinton says in a Hulu documentary, "Hillary," that he feels "terrible" about the public scrutiny Lewinsky endured following details of their sexual relationship becoming public.
"I feel terrible about the fact that Monica Lewinsky's life was defined by it, unfairly I think," Clinton reportedly says in the film. "Over the years I've watched her trying to get a normal life back again, but you've got to decide how to define normal," he added.
He also revealed, according to the Mail, that he and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, underwent "painful" marriage counseling after that affair.
The comments are some of the most personal he has made about the Lewinsky affair since leaving office, and his first since telling NBC's Craig Melvin in June 2018 that he did not think he owed Lewinsky a personal apology. “No, I do not,” he told Melvin when asked if he thought he owed it to Lewinsky to reach out and apologize.
