Monica Lewinsky Insisted on Keeping Thong-Flashing Scene.

Monica Lewinsky Insisted on Keeping Thong-Flashing Scene.
Monica Lewinsky said she convinced a slightly reluctant "Impeachment: American Crime Story" showrunner to include a striking scene where she flashes her thong at Bill Clinton.
The upcoming season of the FX series follows the impeachment of Clinton (played by Clive Owen) and the intense scrutiny the then-24-year-old Lewinsky (played by Beanie Feldstein) faced after the public found out about her 18-month-long affair with him.

The season was officially greenlit by FX in 2019, with Lewinsky  signed on as a producer.
The 10-part season also depicts some of the events leading up to the impeachment of the president, including a moment from November 1995 when Lewinsky reportedly flashed her thong straps at Clinton while the two were attending a social event at the White House.
Showrunner and writer Sarah Burgess told The Hollywood Reporter in a new feature about the show published on Wednesday that she was hesitant to include the infamous thong-flashing scene in "Impeachment" because she was nervous about "retraumatizing Monica."

Lewinsky, however, disagreed and asked Burgess to keep the scene in the script, arguing that Lewinsky would ultimately get blamed for the omission if the crucial interaction between Clinton and the former White House intern wasn't shown on screen.
