Monica Lewinsky’s ‘In Real Life’ Takes On Online Bullying

In Real Life is a social experiment that shows what happens when online bullying is taken offline.

Many of us working for food transparency and justice have lived with online bullying for decades.

There are some in the food industry who are notorious for using the tobacco industry’s playbook: shoot the messenger and harass those who question the status quo. I’ve lived this for over a decade.

Online bullying allows people to say things anonymously, as shared in this email I received.

So when Monica Lewinsky launched a campaign to bring awareness to online bullying, it hit home.

She lived it before it had a name. For her to turn that into this powerful lesson, to advocate for those to whom it is happening, to prevent further abuse and ultimately to help prevent suicide, is the most profound strength and love there is. In the words of Benjamin Disraeli, “Courage is fire, bullying is smoke.”
