Monica Lewinsky was set to attend Town & Country magazine’s annual philanthropic summit this evening, but was uninvited after President Bill Clinton decided to attend the event as well, reports the Huffington Post.

The former leader of the free world who infamously lied about not having any sexual relations with Lewinksy when she an intern in the White House was attending the summit to introduce a Parkland High shooting survivor for a speech. Lewinsky was also invited to attend as a guest. Somewhere along the way, somebody at Town & Country decided that the two of them should not be there at the same time. So, Lewinsky was uninvited from the event. Lewinsky let the world know via Twitter.

But, Clinton’s camp denies that they had any involvement with the fiasco.

President Clinton was invited to address the Town & Country Philanthropy Summit. He gladly accepted. Neither he nor his staff knew anything about the invitation or it being rescinded. https://t.co/iZ0xtG4OvQ

This is what everyone is fighting against. @townandcountry should be ashamed of themselves. Do they let their heads of the magazine prey on their interns? Would they disinvite them after abusing their power to get what they wanted from them? https://t.co/7y5r878JSM
