Monica Lewinsky drove Twitter mad Wednesday after venting about a then-unknown publication for disinviting her to its event just because of Bill Clinton’s presence.
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.

p.s. …and definitely, please don't try to ameliorate the situation by insulting me with an offer of an article in your mag.

We later discovered she was tweeting about Town & Country Magazine.

It has since issued an apology.
We apologize to Ms. Lewinsky and regret the way the situation was handled.

Alllllllllrighty then. Is that it? Is that the extent of this apology?
I certainly hope your editor personally called @MonicaLewinsky and apologized. A tweet is not an appropriate form of apology. #Fail

Wow. Poorly done, T&C.

If this tweet is your big PR response, I’d hire a new PR department.

So let me guess…you STILL kept the guest list with Ms Lewinsky deleted and Mr. Clinton invited?

I mean, the apology is nice I guess, but…is that it f’real?
That’s it? Etiquette fail.

You need better advisors.

Well that's about as lame a response as I've ever seen … Reeks of insincerity. I wish I were a T&C reader so I could stop

That's the best you could do?

I'd say a bit more is due here.

Agreed.
