Monica Lewinsky cut short a live interview and walked off stage when she was asked by an Israeli broadcaster if she expected a personal apology from former President Bill Clinton.

Lewinsky had just given a speech about cyberbullying at the Jerusalem Convention Center in Israel on Monday evening.

After her remarks, the former White House intern sat down for an interview with Yonit Levi, a well-known news anchor in Israel.

‘Recently in an interview on NBC News, former President Clinton was rather irate when he was asked if he'd apologized to you personally and he said, “I apologized publicly.”

‘Do you still expect that apology? A personal apology?’ Levi asked Lewinsky.

Lewinsky immediately answered: ‘I'm so sorry. I'm not going to be able to do this.’

She then stood up and walked across the stage. Levi followed a few steps behind.

Lewinsky later posted a message on Twitter explaining her abrupt exit from the stage.

‘After a talk today on the perils and positives of the Internet, there was to be a 15 minute conversation to follow up on the subject of my speech (not a news interview),’ Lewinsky wrote.

‘There were clear parameters about what we would be discussing and what we would not.

‘In fact, the exact question the interviewer asked first, she had put to me when we met the day prior.

‘I said that was off limits.

‘When she asked me it on stage, with blatant disregard for our agreement, it became clear to me I had been misled.

‘I left because it is more important than ever for women to stand up for themselves and not allow others to control their narrative.

‘To the audience: I’m very sorry that this talk had to end this way.’

In June, Clinton told NBC News he didn’t believe he owed Lewinsky a personal apology. Clinton is seen above in Detroit during Aretha Franklin's funeral on Friday

Lewinsky, a native of Los Angeles, said that she was ostracized by the Jewish community in which she grew up after news of the affair broke

Israel's Channel 2, which hosted the event, released a statement thanking Lewinsky for her appearance while acknowledging that 'we respect her sensitivity and wish her luck.'

In June, Clinton told NBC News he didn’t believe he owed Lewinsky a personal apology.

'I do not – I have never talked to her. But I did say publicly on more than one occasion that I was sorry,' Clinton told NBC.

'I apologized to everybody in the world,' Clinton said, implying that was enough.

The former president also said he, too, was a victim of the entire saga since he left the White House $16million in debt.

In her speech, Lewinsky talked about the public humiliation she suffered after it was revealed that she and Clinton had a sexual relationship, according to The Jerusalem Post.

'My strong sense of family is rooted in the cultural traditions of Judaism, but there have been periods of my life where my faith has been challenged,' she said.

Lewinsky, a native of Los Angeles, said that she was ostracized by the Jewish community in which she grew up after news of the affair broke.

‘I was shunned from almost every community which I belonged to, including my religious community.

‘That led to some very dark times for me.’

She said that she sat in a hotel room in 1998 and kept thinking: ‘I want to die.’

‘There were moments for me when it seemed like suicide was the only way to end the pain and the ridicule,’ she said.

Lewinsky told the audience that unlike women during the #MeToo era, she was left alone without any public support during her ordeal.

‘I don’t think I would have felt so isolated if what happened in 1998 happened in 2018,’ she said.

‘By and large I had been alone. Publicly alone.

‘Abandoned most by the main figure in this crisis, who knew me well and intimately.’

Lewinsky said that although she didn’t know it at the time, she was subjected to ‘cyberbulling, online harassment and slut shaming.’

After years of relative silence, Lewinsky re-emerged in public to become an advocate for combating online harassment and bullying.

‘I am in awe of the sheer courage and bravery of the women and men who have stood up and begun to confront the entrenched beliefs and institutions,’ she said.

‘Part of what has allowed me to shift [into public life], is knowing I’m not alone anymore.’
