Monica Lewinsky has recently expressed that she will never change her last name in hopes of beginning a new life despite all the fallout from the scandalous relationship with the former President Bill Clinton.

The 41-year-old said that she might sometimes use aliases to protect her privacy but she decided to not to change her name because she's not ashamed of who she is, E! Online reported.

No one else in the investigation had to change their name, so she'll also not do it, she further added.

Former White House intern admitted to staying under the radar for quite some time. In fact, she stayed in hiding for more than 10 years while living unnoticed in both New York and London.

Today, Lewinsky is hoping people will focus more on her current goals of battling Internet bullying instead of her past.

Described as a "social activist" and a "public speaker" on her Twitter profile, Lewinsky recently used her platform to show her support for victims of the nude photo scandal.
