In 2021, Lewinsky told CNN's Jake Tapper that "what's really important to remember in today's world is that we never should have gotten to a place where consent was an issue."
"So it was totally inappropriate as the most powerful man, my boss, 49 years old," he said.
"I was 22 years old, literally just out of college. And I think the power differences there are something I could never understand, the consequences at 22 years old that I understand obviously so differently than at 48."
