I remember that she was the epitome of betrayal back then, but I recently read that she said she did it to protect Monica and she would do it all over again."

She was a "Me Too"

Movement advocate before there was one, a reporter commented.

That is a new perspective. I don't know if true but a new way to think of it, and I can see it that way too.

Maybe we all judged her too harshly?

A gracious tweet from Monica Lewinski before Tripp's death:

 

no matter the past, upon hearing that linda tripp is very seriously ill, i hope for her recovery. i can’t imagine how difficult this is for her family.


That truly was gracious considering how Linda's actions affected Monica's life.


It wasn't Linda's actions but someone who was very powerful.


@Hoovermom   Agree. 

Monica's tweet is gracious. Yet Monica was responsible for Monica.  The whole sordid mess would have come out with or without Linda.

 

Linda also paid a price and did not live such a peaceful life in the years following the scandal, including her lawsuit against the admin. for leaking her private info.

 

Neither Monica nor Linda were winners in that mess; only one person skated away unscathed and it wasn't the women.

 

RIP, Linda and peace to Monica.

Seventy is too young--and some say she did wrong by betraying a confidence, but she did "expose" (no pun intended) someone who needed to be taught a lesson.  RIP

@NicksmomESQ   I guess the two adulterers will face the same god when their turns come up.

 

Adultery isn't a redeeming quality, either.

 @Cakers3   I don't condone adultery,never have.But two wrongs don't make a right. Tripp's motives were political. She set up her friend. She should have minded her own da** business.

@on the bay   It's interesting (but not surprising) that Linda takes the hit more than the other two parties.

 

I found the whole mess sordid - from the dress to Monica's naive thinking to the embarrassment of the wife and child to the definition of "is" and on and on.

 

Nobody was innocent in this; but Linda seems to pay the heavier price.

 

I'll sit on my hands about that issue since I have already spoken.

 

RIP Linda.  May the future for Monica be one of peace.
