Shortly after the release of Beyoncé's highly-anticipated seventh studio album "Renaissance," the singer agreed to change one of the lyrics in the song "Heated," after fans called out the word "spaz" for being ableist and offensive to those in the disabled community with cerebral palsy.

Now, activist and TV personality Monica Lewinsky is requesting the Grammy-winning superstar adjust another lyric from a 2013 song.

A twitter post is not an indication of a request to have Beyonce change lyrics. Lewinsky actually has quite a sense of humor about the whole thing.

Lewinsky has referenced the Beyoncé lyric before, in both her Twitter bio, referring to herself as a "rap song muse," and in a 2014 interview with Vanity Fair, in which she wrote about the affair for the first time in a decade, saying, "Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we're verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown,' not 'Monica Lewinsky'd.'"

Technically she is right.

That said, Can you imagine how shitty it must be to have your whole career and subsequent life referenced to a consensual S*x act when you were in your early 20's. At least she takes it with a good natured humor.

I agree.

She responded to a tweet about Beyoncé changing the lyrics to a song to remove offensive content, so I think that is what she was implying but she should start speaking up for herself if she wants the jokes to stop.

It should have been left alone when she took responsibility for the part she played decades ago IMHO and she has more than paid her “debt to society” by being a good sport about it.

And it’s no knock against Beyoncé, because sometimes being a good sport gives the impression that it doesn’t bother you but I’m still glad she said something so now everyone knows how she feels about it.

We all left a lot of mistakes behind in our 20s.

Monica isn’t wrong. And that’s kind of gross. I’m not a prude but sheesh. I’d be annoyed too.

I get it. I’d be upset if people used my name too.

I knew she has been involved in anti-bullying for a long time but I haven’t seen this. I’m about to listen.

This is where I'm at. I haven't paid attention to Monica Lewinsky in a long time and I don't listen to Beyonce songs.
