Jay Leno hits back at Monica Lewinsky's claims he 'targeted her' over President Clinton affair

Jay Leno has responded after Monica Lewinsky claimed he 'targeted her' over her affair with President Clinton in the 1990s.

Now sources close to Leno tell TMZ that he didn't target Lewinsky personally, and that at the time she was 'just an easy punchline and fair game' due to being 'everywhere in the news.' Lewinsky has been back in the public eye and giving interviews in recent weeks, having told Rolling Stone about her current dating life. She admitted it was 'terrifying' to make the decision to step back into the public eye, but it has helped her to 'reclaim' the narrative about her life, following the infamous fallout over her affair with then-president.
