Monica Lewinsky is talking with publishers about a new tell-all book expected to reveal salacious details from her past, Page Six reports.
The former White House intern, now a podcaster, writer, and television producer, is embracing and “reclaiming” the identity that has overshadowed her for decades, as Bill Clinton — the 42nd president — surpasses 80 years old.
Sources inside the publishing world are quietly whispering about the project, and word has it that WME (William Morris Endeavor) intends to publish the book, according to the outlet. The account is sourced to unnamed industry figures, and no timeline or terms for the project were reported.
Page Six said Lewinsky will share details about her life with former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, citing one insider. She will also discuss her anti-bullying campaigns and her podcast.
Lewinsky has shared some details in past books, but the 1999 title 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. The interview transcripts from the special counsel investigation and the impeachment trials go into greater depth about their encounters in the Oval Office. That investigation culminated in the House of Representatives impeaching Clinton in December 1998, with the Senate acquitting him at a trial in early 1999 — the political crisis at the center of the era the new book is expected to revisit. In the years since, Lewinsky has spoken out about the public humiliation she endured, her treatment by the media, and the power imbalance surrounding the relationship, rather than simply retelling its intimate details.
Page Six cited a recent episode of Lewinsky's podcast featuring 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 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 described 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 said. Those words help explain why the prospect of revisiting that era — this time framed on her own terms — carries weight. For that reason, many of her anti-bullying efforts encourage empathy and compassion rather than piling on public humiliation.
Her podcast, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, has become a significant success. A September 2026 profile reported approximately 10 million lifetime downloads, and Lewinsky received a Gracie Award for lifestyle podcast hosting, along with recognition from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.
