Monica Lewinsky doesn't make many headlines these days, but her most recent outburst regarding former President Bill Clinton sure did.
According to RadarOnline, some 27 years after she became one of the most talked-about White House interns in American history, Lewinsky weighed in on what she believes the former president should have done at the time.
Lewinsky made it clear that she believes Clinton should have resigned after the scandal of their White House love affair broke.
She believes Clinton should have taken accountability for what had happened and immediately moved on by throwing in the towel.
In an interview with podcaster Alex Cooper, Lewinsky explained what she believes the right move would have been for Clinton, which would have saved him a mountain of bad publicity and legal headaches.
"I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was nobody's business and to resign," Lewinsky said.
She also admitted that she believes Clinton could have found a way to keep his job in a way "that was not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus."

"I think there was so much collateral damage for women of my generation to watch a young woman be pilloried on a world stage – to be torn apart for my sexuality, for my mistakes, for my everything," she added.
RadarOnline noted:
Clinton was subsequently impeached in 1998 for lying to a grand jury about the relationship but ultimately remained in office.
Meanwhile, Lewinsky said many women wound up being hurt by his "predator-like behavior" in "taking advantage" of her when she was a starstruck 22-year-old.
Users across social media weighed in on Lewinsky's thoughts on the matter.
"Democrats said believe all women but they didn't believe Monica!" one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Hillary was NOT going to allow Billy boy to resign. Bill was in the Chicken House for the hens, and Hillary was using Bill as another steppingstone in her lifelong quest to be President."
Lewinsky, now 51, is an author and activist.
