Monica Lewinsky Asks Beyoncé to Remove Her Name From “Partition” Lyrics
After Beyoncé nixed a word from her latest album over ableist concerns, the 49-year-old suggested that the singer go one step further and remove her name from her hit "Partition.
"uhmm, while we're at it... #Partition," she tweeted on Aug. 1, calling out the 2013 song from Beyoncé album in which the singer recalled that "Monica Lewinsky'd all on my gown."

This isn't the first time Lewinski—who has "rap song muse" written in her Twitter bio—has addressed the unwelcomed named drop.
