"There was a long period, before my life changed in the last six or seven years, where I felt a lot in terms of there not being this resolution," she told Savannah on Monday. "I'm very grateful that I don't have that feeling anymore. I don't need it."

"I do not recommend watching your early 20s be dramatized on TV," Lewinsky said during the interview. "Especially in this instance where the truth really was stranger than fiction. (There were) moments where I just thought, 'Don't smile back. Don't talk to her. Don't confess. Don't do this, don't do that. Don't make bad decisions.' I think that that was really hard to see."

But Lewinsky quickly realized she couldn't leave any minor detail out because "the credibility of the show would have been significantly affected."

"But more than that, it was really, 'I shouldn't get a pass.' ... I thought that was important. I think truth and context were really missing in the beginning of 1998 throughout the process, and I hope those are all things that we brought to the show," she stated.
