An Israeli broadcaster defended questioning Monica Lewinsky about the Clinton sex scandal — prompting her to walk off stage mid-interview — as “legitimate and respectful” and denied it was ever an off-limit topic.

“The Israeli News Company stood up to all of its agreements with Ms. Lewinsky and honored her request,” Israeli News Company said in a statement, Haaretz reported. “We believe the question asked on stage was legitimate and respectful, and one that certainly does not go beyond Ms. Lewinsky’s requests and does not cross the line.”

Lewinsky sat down with Channel 2 News anchor Yonit Levi for an interview on Monday night after giving a speech at the Jerusalem Convention Center.

Levi delved into Lewinsky’s infamous 1998 affair with President Bill Clinton — which the former White House intern claimed the news outlet agreed would be off limits.

The anchor asked Lewinsky about Clinton’s comments in June that he didn’t owe her an apology.

“Do you still expect that apology? A personal apology?” Levi asked.

“I’m so sorry, I’m not going to be able to do this,” Lewinsky responded, before dropping her mic and walking off stage.

Shortly after the debacle, Lewinsky claimed she was “misled.”

“There were clear parameters about what we would be discussing and what we would not,” she said in a statement. “When she asked me it on stage, with blatant disregard for our agreement, it became clear to me I had been misled. I left because it is more important than ever for women to stand up for themselves and not allow others to control their narrative.”

But Israeli News Company wouldn’t take responsibility for the gaffe.

“We thank Ms. Lewinsky for her insightful and honest talk at the conference, once again respect her sensitivity, and wish her all the best,” it said.
