The track in question includes the lyrics:
"He bucked all my buttons, he ripped my blouse He Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown"
This is not the first time she suggests it: back in 2014, Lewinsky noted in a Vanity Fair article that the lyrics should have included the name of the president.
"Thanks, Beyoncé, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton’d all on my gown', not 'Monica Lewinsky’d'", she wrote.
Twitterians were divided on the post, with some supporting Lewinsky, and others mocking her for trying to make Beyoncé change her song.
