Monica Lewinsky has revealed in a new documentary series that she had a crush on President Bill Clinton during her early days at the White House and flirted with him, admitting that on one occasion she intentionally left her underwear exposed to get his attention.

In The Clinton Affair, a new A&E documentary series, Lewinsky recalls that at a 1995 birthday party for a White House staffer which was attended by the President, she realized that her underwear was protruding from the rear of her pants.

Instead of pulling her trousers up, she left them as they were.

Although it was unnoticeable to everyone else in the room, Clinton noticed.

Lewinsky said in the documentary, As I passed George Stephanopouloss office, I kind of looked into the open doorway.

“And Bill happened to be standing there. And he motioned me in.

“I dont think my heart had ever beat that fast.

“Unbeknownst to me, I was on the precipice of the rabbit hole.

Clinton and Lewinsky continued their relationship throughout his second term in office, and the affair was discovered and uncovered during the Ken Starr probe, causing a nationwide scandal.

Lewinsky said that secrecy was a huge part of their relationship, saying, We were both cautious, but not cautious enough.

I was completely at his mercy. In recent years, Lewinsky has written essays about the affair and the power dynamics involved in the relationship, in the context of the #MeToo movement.

However, at the time, Lewinsky claimed that the relationship with the President just felt like connecting. She said, Its not as if it didnt register with me that he was the president.

“Obviously it did. But the truth is, I think it meant more to me that someone who other people desired, desired me.

“However wrong it was for who I was in that very moment, at 22 years old, that was how it felt.

The six-part documentary series, produced by Alex Gibney and directed by Blair Foster, is set to premiere on A&E at 9 p.m. on Sunday.

The series delves into the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, as well as the wider investigation into Clintons behavior, and features interviews with many people who were involved in the case, including former Clinton aides, and journalists who covered the story.

The documentary has already received criticism from Clinton supporters who feel that the series unfairly targets him and dredges up a scandal that is now more than 20 years old.

Clinton has not yet commented on the series, but he has been asked about Lewinsky in interviews many times over the years since the affair was uncovered.

Lewinsky has become a vocal advocate for anti-bullying campaigns in recent years, speaking about her own experience of being bullied and harassed.

She has spoken out about the way she was treated in the press and by politicians at the time of the scandal, and how it affected her mental health.

The documentary is set to be a controversial addition to the ongoing conversation around s**ual misconduct in politics and the wider world, and how power dynamics can play a role in relationships between people in influential positions.

The trailer for the documentary features Lewinsky saying, The process of this docuseries led me to new rooms of shame that I still needed to explore, and delivered me to face to face with myself in a way that I could not have imagined. The series is set to be a powerful re-examination of one of the most significant political scandals in recent history, and the way it affected the people involved.
