Remember that time "Orange is the New Black" made a crass joke about Monica Lewinsky? It's okay if not -- the gag was featured during the 11th episode of the show's first season -- but Lewinsky just got around to the show recently, and was none too pleased to find her name used as a punchline.
"I did what I usually do in these situations where the culture throws me a shard of my former self," Lewinsky wrote in a piece published by VanityFair.com. "After the cringing embarrassment, the whiff of shame, and the sense that I am no longer an agent running my own life, I shuddered, I got up off the sofa, and I turned it off."
Lewinsky doesn't reveal whether she picked up "Orange Is The New Black" again, but there's a whole lot more about public narratives and personal rebuttals over at Vanity Fair. She's a blogger there now.
