translated from Spanish: Clinton-Lewinsky: The “American Crime Story” series will tell the scandal

“If history is written by those who win, that means there’s another story.” Obviously, Monica Lewinsky was not standing on the winning side when her relationship with then-President Bill Clinton was unveiled back in the mid-1990s. The young White House intern was 22 when the scandal broke out that would inadvertently make her a ‘celebrity’, but rarely a ‘victim’ in the face of public opinion. Eventually, both involved admitted this inappropriate correspondence, and even the former representative was acquittttting (and triumphant) on perjury charges.    The “Lewinsky Scandal” or the “Monicagate”, as it was known through the media, always aimed for one side in terms of ‘guilty’, but of course, this never seemed to be that of the true figure of power, a key theme in times of #MeToo and Time’s Up , where Lewinsky’s figure was often claimed, even if she has accepted that she made a blunder. Would you have dared to say no to the ruler of the most powerful country in the world? To reflect, right?

The other version of the story

Just as we’re going to try to do the third installment of “American Crime Story” that, after messing with The D.J. Simpson and the murder of Gianni Versace, is going to present us with his own version of events regarding the Clinton Impeachment co). Beanie Feldstein, the revelation of “Lady Bird” (2017) and “The Night of the Nerds” (Booksmart, 219), will take over the role of the intern, while Sarah Paulson will act as Linda Tripp (secretary who played a pivotal role in disclosing the relationship) , and Annaleigh Ashford will be Paula Jones, who attempted to bring charges against the former president for sexual harassment, but did not have sufficient evidence. This third season of FX’s anttological drama – created by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewki – will take note of the book “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President” by Jeffrey Toobin, and will begin production just in the month of Jeffrey Toobin February, with a view to premiere in the United States on September 27, 2020. Oh, and among its many producers (let’s never forget Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy), is Lewinsky herself.” The ‘ACS’ franchise has become a cultural cornerstone, providing greater context for stories that deserve greater understanding such as the O.J. Simpson trial, and Andrew Cunanan’s tragic wave of crimes, which concluded with the murder of Gianni Versace,” said John Landgraf, president of FX Networks and FX Productions, during the Television Critics Association’s press tour, where networks are taking the time to announce their plans for the future.

Monica and Bill in less outrageous times 

During the same event he said: “This television saga re-examines some of the most complicated and polarizing events in recent history in a relevant, nuanced and entertaining way. ‘ Impeachment: American Crime Story’ will also explore the overlooked dimensions of women caught up in the scandal and political war that cast a long shadow over the Clinton presidency.” Of course, conjunctural timing plays him in his favor, and may even play an even more interesting role when the premiere coincides with the upcoming campaign for president in the North country; but the real value of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” for Landgraf, right now, is to be able to revisit Clinton’s accusation through a younger, feminine and feminist point of view, courtesy of writer and executive producer Sarah Burgess.In this note:
