Monica Lewinsky Suggests Beyoncé Remove 2013 “Partition” Lyric Referencing Her Affair with Clinton

Monica Lewinsky is asking Beyoncé to remove a lyric referencing her 1998 affair with former President Bill Clinton from the song “Partition,” released in 2013 . 

“He bucked all my buttons, he ripped my blouse

He Monica Lewinski’d all on my gown

Oh there daddy, daddy didn’t bring the towel

Oh baby, baby we slow it down”

At the time of her scandal, Lewinsky, 24 years old, made headlines from her infamous blue dress that she kept with semen stains that resulted from administering oral sex to the sitting President Bill Clinton. Which was later used in Kenneth Starr’s federal investigation and the impeachment trial of Clinton. 

The former White House intern took to Twitter after Queen Bey was said to replace the ableist slur ‘spaz’ from her new track “Heated.”

Lewinsky tweeted the link to a Variety article reporting on the backlash and added the caption, “uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition.”

Some say Lewinsky is being humorously sarcastic about Beyoncé making a blow job reference. While others have shared she needs to give it up after all these years.

One commenter made a point to ask Lewinski, why would she call out the one Black female artist instead of the long list of men who have used her name in songs?

The 49-year-old Pentagon employee responded to her followers that she was the most disappointed in Bey, as she was such a huge fan.

Monica Lewinsky Wants Beyoncé To Change A Line About Her From ‘Partition’

Beyoncé’s seventh studio album, Renaissance, hasn’t even been out for a full week, but changes are underway for some of the album’s track. The Queen Bey has already removed an interpolation of Kelis’ “Milkshake” from the song “Energy,” after the singer/chef expressed disdain toward Beyoncé for not notifying her that she would be interpolating the track. Her team also confirmed she will remove an ableist slur from the track, “Heated.” But now, Monica Lewinsky is calling for the removal of a particular line in Bey’s song, “Partition,” which was released in 2013 on her self-titled fifth album.

In a line on “Partition,” Beyoncé recalls a steamy sexual encounter with her husband, Jay-Z. “He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse / He Monica Lewinsky’d all on my gown,” she sings on the track, referring to an infamous sex scandal between then-president Bill Clinton and Lewinsky, his former intern.

After news broke earlier this week that Beyoncé would be removing the ableist slur from “Heated,” Lewinsky shared a link to the news story on Twitter, commenting, “uhmm, while we’re at it…#Partition,” seemingly implying that she would like for Bey to remove the aforementioned line from “Partition.”

This is not the first time Lewisky has expressed disdain toward that particular lyric. In a letter Lewinsky shared with Vanity Fair in 2014, Lewinsky referred to the lyric saying, “Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’”

Lewinsky hasn’t shared anything regarding the lyrics since her tweet, nor have Beyoncé or her team revealed plans to change or remove the lyric.

Since Beyonce’s Already Updating Controversial Lyrics, Monica Lewinsky Has A Request, Too

Ahh, the 1990s. That’s probably not something that Monica Lewinsky says to herself very often. And she may have consulted on the scripts for America Crime Story: Impeachment (another Ryan Murphy production), but that doesn’t mean that she enjoys constant references to the most infamous occurrence within her time in the public sphere. You know what I’m talking about, of course.

The infamous Bill Clinton dress regularly gets shouted out by pop culture, and Beyonce went there with 2013’s “Partition,” which specifically contained these lyrics: “He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown.” After that: “Oh, there daddy, daddy didn’t bring the towel.”

That’s quite the visual, obviously. Since Beyonce’s new Renaissance album has been catching some scattered heat from various places (including Fox News, which called the singer “vile”), and Beyonce has apparently removed an ableist term from her lyrics, Monica caught wind and decided to mention those decade-old lyrics that still cause her to take umbrage: “[U]hmm, while we’re at it… #Partition,” Lewinsky tweeted.

There’s been no word from camp Bey on this issue, although it’s safe to say that Beyonce’s probably pretty busy at the moment. She currently appears to be updating the album to delete a contested Kelis sample, but hang tight. If Beyonce decides to move on Monica’s request, we’ll surely hear about it.
