Monica Lewinsky is sick of people telling her story.
"I was hesitant, and truthfully more than a little scared to sign on. But after a lengthy dinner meeting with Ryan, I came to understand even more clearly how dedicated he is to giving a voice to the marginalized in all of his brilliant work. I'm privileged to work with him and the other talented people on the team, and I'm privileged to have this opportunity,"However, she used this as an opportunity to tell her own story that's been told by others involved for years.
"People have been co-opting and telling my part in this story for decades. In fact, it wasn't until the past few years that I've been able to fully reclaim my narrative; almost 20 years later," she said."But I'm so grateful for the growth we've made as a society that allows people like me who have been historically silenced to finally reintroduce my voice to the conversation. This isn't just a me problem.
Landgraf said he thinks people will see the whole affair and impeachment proceedings differently through the prism ofBrad Simpsonand Ryan Murphy really stayed on their belief that there was something worth making there. It's really because of [writer]. Sarah Burgess is a really, really gifted, talented playwright receiving a lot of deserved acclaim right now, who comes from a younger female point of view, a feminist point of view.
"I find Monica Lewinsky extremely impressive. I find the way that she's sort of risen from the kind of early trauma that, frankly, could have buckled anyone it could have driven me to my knees and down to the ground, and she's come back. I don't know if you guys have heard or read some of her more recent commentary, there's a really wonderful TED Talk," Landgraf said.
