Famed White House intern Monica Lewinsky has mostly stayed out of the public eye since news of her sexual relationship with then President Bill Clinton shook the country.

Last month, Lewinsky shared in a Vanity Fair essay that it was "time to burn the beret and bury the Blue dress." True to her word, she will appear this Sunday on a National Geographic special titled, "The 90s: The Last Great Decade?" in her first interview since 2003.

Reveals Lewinsky: "To be called stupid, and a slut, and a bimbo, and ditzy, and to be taken out of context, it was excruciating." Adding, "To be in the vortex of this media maelstrom was quite alarming, and frightening. And confusing. I think a lot, too, had to do with the fact that I was a woman."

The first of the three-part National Geographic special debuts this Sunday. This morning, NBC's Today shared clips from the special - check them out below!
