HuffPost also confirmed the situation with attendees.
See photos of Monica Lewinsky:
Lewinsky, who famously had an affair with Clinton when he was in office, has seen her profile and reputation rise along with the current Me Too moment. Many have acknowledged the sexist way she was villainized by the press in the nineties. She was sent into exile for years, as she’s written, while Clinton’s reputation as an elder statesmen only grew.
