She speaks!

Monica Lewinsky has finally broken her silence over her very public affair with President Bill Clinton.

The now-40-year-old wrote an article in the June issue of Vanity Fair in which she opened about her infamous past. "It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened."

Okay. We. Get. It. You. Regret. It.

She also denied that the Clintons paid her off to keep her silent but wrote that there may be some consequence to her finally speaking out now."I am determined to have a different ending to my story. I’ve decided, finally, to stick my head above the parapet so that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past. (What this will cost me, I will soon find out.)," wrote the former White House intern.

The blue-dress wearing brunette also said that after the ordeal it was very hard to find a job due to the stigma of the affair. Lewinsky made it a point to say in the article that the relationship between herself and the 42nd president was consensual, but wrote, "Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position."

We bet the Clintons aren't going to love that one!
