Page Six reports that former White House intern turned podcaster and producer Monica Lewinsky is talking with publishers about a tell-all book that will reveal salacious details.
As the 42nd president surpasses 80 years old, the anti-bullying advocate, writer and television producer is embracing and "reclaiming" the identity that has overshadowed her for decades.
Sources inside the publishing world are quietly whispering about the project and word has it WME (William Morris Endeavor) intends to publish the book.
Page Six said she will dish the details about her life with former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, according to one insider. She will also talk about her anti-bullying campaigns and podcast.
In past books, Lewinsky shared some details, but the 1999 book Monica's Story was an authorized biography written by Andrew Morton with her cooperation, rather than a memoir she authored herself.
In it, she described her genuine feelings for Clinton and shared personal details. The interview transcripts for the special counsel investigation and impeachment trials go into more detail about their escapades in the Oval Office. In the years since, she's spoken out about the public humiliation, her treatment by the media and the power imbalance surrounding their relationship rather than simply retelling its intimate details.
Page Six cited Lewinsky's recent podcast with singer and actress Jamie Lynn Sigler in which the host said, “You really can’t move through all the steps until you’ve had acceptance."
In a discussion about Sigler’s new memoir, Lewinsky's said, “A lot of my progress during my dark decade really came about from integration and being able to integrate like, ‘OK, I couldn’t leave Monica Lewinsky the White House intern in the past,’ like I had to find a way to not be ashamed and bring her with me, all the things. And so you can’t integrate until you’ve accepted."
In her 2015 TED Talk, Lewinsky referred to herself as "patient zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.”
“In 1998, I lost my reputation and my dignity … The public humiliation was excruciating. Life was almost unbearable," she explained.
Many of her anti-bullying efforts encourage empathy and compassion rather than piling on public humiliation for that reason.
Her podcast “Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky,” has become a significant success. A September 2026 profile reported approximately 10 million lifetime downloads. Lewinsky also received a Gracie Award for lifestyle podcast hosting and recognition from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.
