Monica Lewinsky Wonders If Beyonc Can Remove Her Name From 2013 Song

Monica Lewinsky is hoping that Beyoncs recent decision to change lyrics that some found offensive means the singer will also tweak the lines of a 2013 song that references the former White House intern .

On Monday, Beyonc announced she would be changing the lyrics of a song on her new album, Renaissance, to remove a term that is an ableist slur.

The song Heated, which was co-written by Drake, previously featured the line Spazzin on that ass, spazz on that ass, but a representative for the singer said that the word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced .

On Monday, Lewinsky suggested that she hopes Beyonc will consider her own longstanding request for a change to the lyrics of the 2013 song Partition.

In that song, Beyonc sings: He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse/ He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown a reference to Lewinskys entanglement with then-President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

Lewinsky has argued for the past eight years that since Clinton is the one who famously ejaculated on her dress, the lyric should actually be Bill Clintond all on my gown.

So far, Lewinsky hasnt had any luck convincing Beyonc to change the Partition lyric, but her tweets this week suggest she hasnt given up hope.
