'As I'm sure many can understand, my thoughts about ken starr bring up complicated feelings,' Lewinsky said on Twitter. 'But of more importance, is that I imagine it's a painful loss for those who love him.'
Starr's prosecutors learned of the affair from former White House staffer Linda Tripp who had been recording her conversations with Lewinsky about Clinton during their time at the White House.
He also issued the Starr Report, the findings of the independent counsel’s investigation, and it served as the basis of the Republican’s impeachment case against Clinton.Lewinsky later said she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, mostly because of "having been publicly outed and ostracized.'' She also for years was subjected to jokes about the affair.
Lewinsky wrote in a Vanity Fair essay in 2018, that she recalls seeing Starr at a restaurant while she was out with her family, and said that"his demeanor, almost pastoral, was somewhere between avuncular and creepy. He kept touching my arm and elbow, which made me uncomfortable." She gave a TED Talk in 2015 called the “The Price of Shame,” and has become an anti-bullying activist.
Starr would later write in his book"Contempt: A memoir of the Clinton Investigation,'' that"I deeply regret that I took on the Lewinsky phase of the investigation. But at the same time, as I still see it twenty years later, there was no practical alternative to my doing so."
