In 2021, "American Crime Story" launched its third season entitled "Impeachment," covering the long and ridiculous case of the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski sex scandal in the 1990s. In the show, Lindsey Broad plays Karin Immergut, a lawyer for Kenneth Starr's team who questioned Monica Lewinsky.
Monica Lewinsky was actually involved in the show as a producer, but according to an interview with Collider, showrunner Sarah Burgess explained that even had Lewinsky not been involved, it would have been important to depict Lewinsky in a sympathetic light. "I think that, even if Monica were not a producer, reading about what happened to her, the way she was taken apart by our culture, the way a second Monica was sort of created by our culture and the media, I think always, always, always, in writing the story, I would feel a moral imperative to present her as a full and complicated human being. To not sort of do that trauma again." Even Broad's character, Immergut, seems to be apprehensive about questioning Lewinsky in the show.
