Monica Lewinsky is making her past something to be proud of.
The former White House intern, whose affair with President Bill Clinton in the mid-‘90s became a global scandal and played a major role in his 1998 impeachment trial, recently shared why she commemorates the anniversary of the day she was seized by FBI agents in 1997.
In fact, the 51-year-old shared that she and her family refer to Jan. 16 as “Survivor’s Day.”
“That was the worst day of my life thus far,” Lewinsky—who was just 24 years old at the time of the scandal while Clinton was 51—explained in an interview with Rolling Stone published Feb. 14. “It’s connecting to that, but in a way that brings it back to myself.”
But the annual commemoration doesn’t have a somber tone.
“We celebrate,” Lewinsky continued. “Sometimes my mom buys me a gift or I buy myself a gift, and just make a moment of really acknowledging. That’s when I connect to my past the most.”
