Monica Lewinsky is, once again, being hailed as “icon,” “legend,” and “queen.”
The activist/writer went viral Wednesday night for her amusing and undeniably savage take on the Taylor Swift “asylum” meme. The online trend was inspired by “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” — a standout track from Swift’s newly released album, The Tortured Poets Department. The song finds Swift reflecting on the struggles of growing up in the spotlight, as she sings: “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.”
Over the past week, social media users have used the line to poke fun at their past trauma or defining moments of their youth. While many have been quite LOL-inducing, Lewinsky’s post was among those that generated the most laughs, gasps, and praise. She used the trend to reference her time as a White House intern and her infamous affair with Bill Clinton.
