MONICA TRASHES 'REVOLTING' TRIPP


MONICA Lewinsky - fed up with turning the other cheek - has
lashed back at Linda Tripp for her hurtful remarks in George
magazine. In a statement exclusive to PAGE SIX, she says that
surgically-enhanced Tripp "will always be revolting to me."

Lewinsky, stung by Tripp's nine-page interview in George, issued
a response that was carefully vetted by her lawyer before it was
dictated to us by her respresentative, Julie Nadler.

"I am still under an immunity agreement and therefore limited as
to how I can respond. I wish [Tripp] would stop making false and
inaccurate statements about my family and me. She violated me
enough by recording conversations that I thought were private,
when I was only 23 years old.

"What is often overlooked is that by ensuring I became a part of
a [Paula Jones] lawsuit, she guaranteed those recordings would
become public. She can reconstruct her face, her hair, and her
body, but she will always be revolting to me."

In the wide-ranging interview with Nancy Collins, Tripp denied
she was ever really friends with Monica. "The idea that I would
cultivate this foolish young girl is offensive. I thought she was
a pest," Tripp said.

She also revealed private family secrets. Asked if Monica's
mother, Marsha Lewis, knew about the affair with Bill Clinton,
Tripp replied: "Not only did she know about it, she encouraged
it. She bought her lingerie to wear when she saw the president."

Tripp boasts in the magazine she was a reluctant witness
motivated only by patriotism. "I never took a nickel - nothing .
. . I turned down millions - even though I drive a nine-year-old
car and live in a rented house."

But when The Post sought permission to publish some of the photos
that appear in George, Tripp's lawyer demanded $5,000.

Tripp is at her most disingenuous when she attempts to explain
why she leaked the affair to Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff:

"I didn't betray Monica Lewinsky. I figured that whatever
happened would be better for her than the callous abuse she was
suffering at the hands of the president . . . Besides . . . she
had already told 14 people."

And why did Linda begin taping Monica's phone calls? "Because by
then I realized that I was in the president's personal
crosshairs, that he was pitting me against Monica, me against
him."

Looks like he succeeded.
