This self-deprecating joke was a reference to the infamous affair between Lewinsky and Clinton. Lewinsky reportedly had a dozen sexual encounters with Clinton, when she was serving as a White House intern from 1995 to 1996.

In 1997, Lewinsky admitted the affair and the scandal broke a year later to intense media coverage.

In response to Lewinsky’s claim, Clinton denied the affair with the now-famous line: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
