Editing Clinton–Lewinsky scandal (section)

==Legacy and retrospective assessment==

The Clinton-Lewinsky scandal was subject to widespread media coverage, resulting in considerable difficulties for Monica Lewinsky later in life as she attempted to find employment. In 2014, she publicly re-emerged as an activist against [[cyberbullying]] and [[public shaming]] after writing the essay ''Shame and Survival'' for ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.vanityfair.com/style/society/2014/06/monica-lewinsky-humiliation-culture | title=Exclusive: Monica Lewinsky on the Culture of Humiliation | website=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] | date=May 28, 2014 }}</ref> Subsequently, several prominent media figures who had covered or mocked Lewinsky during the scandal expressed regret at their role in it. [[David Letterman]] remarked "I feel bad about my role in helping push the humiliation to the point of suffocation".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjXScnPT7QY&t=19s | title=David Letterman reveals biggest regret | website=YouTube | date=May 16, 2014 }}</ref>
