Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky included herself in the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment. As a result Juanita Broaddrick slammed her for her "deafening" silence when Bill Clinton's accusers most "needed your voice."
The #MeToo movement was started by actress Alyssa Milano as a way for women to signal if they have been sexually harassed or assaulted. On Sunday Lewinsky joined the movement by tweeting "#MeToo" and sharing a link to the Women's March post:
"To all the women sharing stories of sexual assault and sexual harassment, thank you for your bravery to speak up. You are not alone. #MeToo."

Just a few days after sharing this story Juanita Broaddrick took to Twitter to issue some tweets of her own. She accused Monica Lewinsky of failing to come through and expose the sexual behavior of Bill Clinton when it was needed most.
Your silence was deafening in the 90's when Kathleen, Paula and I needed your voice. https://t.co/3bhKsM0sLu

During the 2016 election Broaddrick made headlines when she doubled down on her accusation against Bill Clinton on Twitter.
I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73....it never goes away.

In August of 2016, Broaddrick spoke with the Daily Wire and made multiple claims with regards to Bill and Hillary Clinton with regards to the issue:
“I felt like she knew [I was raped], it was just the look in her eyes and the anger on her face, because I was so afraid at that time of anyone knowing what had happened to me,” Broaddrick told The Daily Wire.
“So many people have said since then that, ‘Maybe she just knew that you had been with him, maybe he hadn’t told her the complete description of what he’d done to you,’” explained Broaddrick, “I still feel like she knew.”
Broaddrick continued, recounting the moment Hillary allegedly threatened her at a political rally:
“She threatened me at that fundraiser,” she stated, “that’s foremost in my mind; I’ll never forget that; I’ll never forget that encounter with her that people keep minimizing, saying that, ‘Well, she didn’t mean that.’”
Bill Clinton has repeatedly denied the accusations of sexual misconduct by Broaddrick. He did admit to having sexual affairs with Monica Lewinsky and Gennifer Flowers.
