Monica Lewinsky

Monica Lewinsky has transitioned from public figure to advocate, leveraging her personal experiences to address cyberbullying and champion a more compassionate internet. After participating in a record-setting interview with Barbara Walters on ABC’s ’20/20′ in March 1999, Monica Lewinsky went on to release her biography, ‘Monica’s Story,’ that same month. Expanding her professional endeavors, she launched her own line of handbags in September 1999 under The Real Monica, Inc., which were successfully sold at prominent retailers including Henri Bendel and Fred Segal. In early 2000, Lewinsky secured a high-profile endorsement deal, becoming a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, Inc.

Leveraging her unique perspective and expertise, she transitioned into a significant role in television production, co-producing the 2021 season of FX’s ‘American Crime Story’ titled ‘Impeachment,’ which dramatically brought her story to a new generation. Her producing career expanded further in October 2021 as she executive produced the critically acclaimed HBO documentary ’15 Minutes of Shame,’ which delves into the pervasive issue of public shaming. Building on this success, Lewinsky established her own production company, Alt Ending Productions, in June 2021. This new venture immediately secured a first-look deal with 20th Television, affirming her continued evolution as a producer and activist dedicated to fostering empathy and driving meaningful conversations through storytelling.

Her work consistently seeks to transform personal narrative into powerful platforms for social change and education.
