Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern whose sexual relationship with ex-President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment, is now bellowing the fact that she has man trouble.

In an interview in the December issue of Gentleman’s Quarterly magazine, the 30-year-old laments the difficulty she’s had in dating men.
While she says she’s gone out with a number of people, she admits it’s a hefty task for gents to get over her troubled past.
“If I were a guy and I’d heard all those things about a girl, I don’t know that I’d want to take her out,” Lewinsky told GQ.
And Monica admits she gets frustrated when men are not as responsive to her romantically as she’d like.
“The one thing I don’t do well with, with a guy, is ambivalence,” she said. “I want to shake them and say, ‘C’mon, just like me! Do what I say!”‘
Former President Clinton nearly lost his presidency in the wake of his “inappropriate” relationship with Lewinsky, after first claiming he did not have “sexual relations with that woman.” He was impeached by the U.S. House, but subsequently acquitted by the Senate.
Lewinsky urged the federal government in May to protect parents’ rights not to testify against their own children, as WorldNetDaily reported.
In a Mother’s Day opinion piece published in the Los Angeles Times, Monica recounted her reaction to her mother’s call to testify in connection with the probe into her relationship with the president.
“I was horrified and sickened,” she wrote. “Not unlike many young women, I had confided in my mom – to a certain extent – and expected our conversations to remain between us. In a million years I could never have fathomed a situation where we would find our bond – a deep, important and inviolate one – tested to the extent and in the manner that it was.”
Since the scandal, Lewinsky has hawked handbags and hosted “Mr. Personality,” a reality TV show on the Fox network. Ironically, the show features women trying to choose the best man for them based solely on personality, as the men’s faces were covered with masks.
Monica is now trying to dispel gossip the scandal with Clinton has been a cash cow for her.
“One of the huge misconceptions about me in the past few years is that I have made a fortune from this,” Lewinsky told GQ. “People who have this idea that I have millions of dollars or even a million, or close to a million, are off their rocker.”
