Monica Lewinsky suggested removing the lyrics from Beyonce’s 2013 song Partition that referred to her relationship with then-President Bill Clinton, instead of a pejorative slur from the singer’s new song Heated.
Shortly after her public request via her Twitter, hardcore Beyonce fans named Beyhive approached her.
One fan wrote: “Why did you keep the dress dirty and not clean it?” another criticized him for “picking a black woman to chase”.
Latest: Monica Lewinsky suggested removing lyrics referring to her relationship with then-President Bill Clinton from Beyonce’s 2013 song Partition, after promising to replace an insulting insult in the singer’s new song Heated. Immediately after her public request via her Twitter, friendly Beyonce fans, nicknamed Beyhive, flocked to her; Seen on June 10, 2022
Monica, 49, brought up the issue after news broke on Monday that the texts had been removed.
“Uhmm, while we’re ready… #Partition,” he tweeted, linking to a Variety article about it.
The text referencing the scandal reads: ‘Now my mascara is running, a stain of red lipstick / Oh, I was so little, yes, he wants to fuck / He let go of all the buttons and ripped my blouse / He Monica Lewinsky – and it’s all on my dress.
Lewinsky had a famous relationship with Clinton between 1995 and 1997, and their relationship began when he was an unpaid White House intern for 22 years, ultimately leading to his dismissal on December 19, 1998.
Article: One fan wrote: “Why did you keep the dress dirty and not clean it?” another criticized him for deciding to “pick a black woman to follow”.
Monica previously suggested changing the text in her 2014 Vanity Fair article.
“Thank you, Beyoncé, but when we use the verbs, you mean ‘Bill Clinton put it all on my dress,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d,'” she wrote.
Beyonce fans did not take kindly to Monica’s tweet and took to Twitter to cast a shadow in their own way.
One person wrote: ‘When we get back to this topic. Why did you keep the dress dirty and not clean it? And let your mother keep it safe for you. If I had bought my mother a “dirty” dress to hide… Gürl, God himself could not have saved me from her’, with a sign of peace.
Another said: “I think he says that out of all the people who said something about you, he decided to choose a black woman to chase you…”
Monica asked the user, ‘Really?! I appreciate that this may be the first thing I say about it and that hits your radar, but please keep that in mind. And of all the musicians who have done it, he was the one I was most disappointed with… because I was a fan”.
Another Beyonce fan tweeted: “Okay, how about sucking on Hillary’s husband, can you do that?”
Uh oh: Beyonce fans weren’t too kind to Monica’s tweet and cast a shadow on Twitter in their own way
“You have no right to criticize anyone for anything. Your behavior and subsequent rejection of your great abuse took women centuries back. Most women “get out of the mud” rather than get down on their knees. Maybe shut up and carry on with real self-reflection?’ said one user.
Another was shocked as to why Monica went after Beyonce when she was criticized for a different text.
“It’s always so depressing to see empathy go this far. Why is everything about you? Do you see a black woman being attacked and you think I should continue?’
How come? Another was shocked as to why Monica was chasing Beyonce when she was criticized for a different text.
One fan explained that rappers don’t use her name as a “verb to talk about semen,” and they “usually call her a side girl or a femme fatale”.
Another asked if the artist had contacted Beyonce or her team directly before seeing her critique.
Monica replied: ‘No, I didn’t. I mentioned it in my first Vanity Fair article I wrote in 2014… It was my first public job in 10 years. But you made an interesting/honest point…’

‘While we were here…’: Monica brought up the issue on Twitter after the news that the text had been removed
Monica’s first tweet came after Beyonce promised to remove an abelian insult from her new Renaissance song, Heated, following backlash from fans and charity Scope.
The 40-year-old singer, a world-class model, had these lyrics on the song she collaborated with Drake on: Sp**zin ‘on that ass, s**z on that ass’.
A statement published to MailOnline on Monday said: “Words that are not intentionally used in a harmful way will be replaced in the text”.
However, Beyonce did not apologize.
Fans believe there can be no excuse for ignorance when it comes to using the word in question—especially after Lizzo apologized for using the same word in the Grrrls song a few weeks ago—and her song has been recreated.
Scandal: Lewinsky had a famous relationship with Clinton between 1995 and 1997, and their relationship began when he was an unpaid White House intern at the age of 22, ultimately leading to his dismissal on December 19, 1998.
The word may mean “panic” or “going crazy” in the United States, but is commonly known to come from the word “spastic”.
The term is often used pejoratively to describe people with disabilities, especially cerebral palsy.
Warren Kirwan, media manager for the disability equality charity Scope, said before the announcement: “It’s scary that one of the world’s biggest stars chose to include this very offensive term.
“A few weeks ago, Lizzo got a huge response from fans who were hurt and disappointed after using the same disgusting language.

Luckily he did the right thing and re-recorded the song. It’s hard to believe this could have gone unnoticed by Beyoncé’s team.
Words are important because they reinforce the negative attitudes that people with disabilities face on a daily basis and that affect every aspect of their lives.
“Beyoncé has been a longtime advocate of inclusion and equality, so we encourage her to remove this offensive text.”
Previously, Twitter was flooded with comments from those who couldn’t believe that Beyonce or any member of her team wouldn’t have noticed that the word was offensive, especially after Lizzo’s blatant apology.

They wrote: “It’s strange that Beyoncé added an insulting insult to one of her new songs right after she learned of Lizzo’s mistake and got the same insult from her song.”
“Very disappointed that Beyoncé used an offensive slurry in Heated. Same as Lizzo used (and very kindly corrected)… This was striking enough so that the same mistake would not be repeated. I’m tired of non-disabled artists who don’t recognize the evil in their words.’
It’s hard to believe that when Lizzo made the same mistake (and kindly corrected) in front of everyone a month ago, neither Beyoncé nor anyone else on her team recognized this humiliating insult. Exhausting.’
MailOnline reached out to a Beyonce spokesperson for comment.
