Monica Lewinsky recently broke her silence on her notorious 1998 affair with then-President Bill Clinton and revealed that she is scared if Hillary Clinton runs for presidency in 2016.

The 40-year-old, who had an alleged affair with the former president told Vanity Fair magazine that when she thought that if the former US secretary of state won the presidency, there was a dimension at play for her other than just the fact that they might finally have a woman in the White House.

Lewinsky asserted that when she heard of Hillary's prospective candidacy, she could not help but fear the next wave of paparazzi, the next wave of 'Where is she now?' stories, and the next reference to her in Fox News' coverage of the primaries.

Lewinsky said that she found herself gun-shy yet again, as she was fearful of becoming an issue if Hillary decided to ramp up her campaign for office.
