Reacting to Monica Lewinsky's newly harsh criticism of ex-President Bill Clinton, Kathleen Willey expressed her sympathy on Saturday, saying that Lewinsky's recent comments to British interviewers show she finally understands the truth about the 42nd president.
"I feel so sorry for her. I really do," Willey told WABC Radio's Monica Crowley. "She was so young. She just got taken in. She was in over her head and she just got absolutely bamboozled by this guy."

But now Lewinsky is acknowledging that she's one of several former Clinton allies who paid dearly for the association, said Willey, who was victimized by a vicious White House smear campaign after she accused Clinton of sexual assault at the height if the impeachment battle.
"Monica knows the truth and Paula knows the truth and Vince Foster knew the truth and Gennifer knew the truth and Juanita Broaddrick knows the truth," Willey told WABC.
On Friday Lewinsky lashed out at Clinton for using his book to describe their affair as "disgusting," saying he'd ruined her life in a bid to save his presidency.
"His strategy to try and defeat [former special prosecutor] Ken Starr was to debase my character. In the process he destroyed me," she complained, in remarks that represent her harshest public criticism of Clinton to date.
Lewinsky said she deeply resented Clinton's attempts to portray her as "a liar, a stalker, crazy, stupid?"
Clinton also used his book to trash Willey and her allegations, prompting the one-time White House volunteer to complain:
"It's just absolutely amazing to watch this man fabricate all of the lies about everybody in his path. I mean, are we all lying?"
"He will continue to lie until the day he dies," Willey told WABC.
