“We apologize to Ms. Lewinsky and regret the way the situation was handled,” the magazine tweeted Thursday.

Lewinsky, famous for her affair with Clinton that led to his impeachment when he lied about it under oath, tweeted Wednesday that she did not want to be invited to events just to be uninvited after it becomes known that Clinton is also attending.
“Dear world: Please don’t invite me to an event (esp one about social change) and — then after i’ve accepted — uninvite me because Bill Clinton then decided to attend/was invited. It’s 2018. Emily post would def not approve. Me.” Lewinsky posted to Twitter Wednesday.
Lewinsky also said in another tweet that in an attempt to amend the situation, the magazine “insulted” her by offering her an article in the magazine after they rescinded her invitation to the summit.
“P.s. …and definitely, please don’t try to ameliorate the situation by insulting me with an offer of an article in your mag.”
