15. Monica Lewinsky
Monica Lewinsky’s 1998 affair with President Clinton was one of the first big stories to set the internet abuzz. Then just a 22 year old intern who fell for her boss, she was subjected to a barrage of harassment, humiliation and bullying from strangers weighing in on everything from her looks to her morals and was called names like “tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and, of course, That Woman.” Even 20 years later, she continues to deal with the fallout. She spoke out against cyber-bullying in a 2015 TED Talk called The Price of Shame, saying, “It’s time for an intervention on the Internet and in our culture.”
