Monica Lewinsky has taken a giant step in boosting her producing career, Globe has learned, by striking up a solid alliance with Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Brad Falchuk.
Brad — who’s created a string of hits, including American Horror Story and Glee — has taken Monica under his wing, claims a source, and hopes to turn the former White House intern into Hollywood’s next big thing.
“Monica isn’t joking about her desire to become a serious television producer, and she isn’t shy about crediting Brad, of all people, in helping her develop her skills,” notes the insider.
“In the short term, Brad’s endorsement of Monica has made her some money and helped push some projects forward, but it’s also put Monica in a different celebrity stratosphere.”
“Important people take her seriously because of how she’s reinventing herself.”

Monica, 52, has already worked with Brad as a producer on 2021’s American Crime Story: Impeachment, which dramatized her Oval Office affair with then President Bill Clinton.
She also produced the 2025 miniseries The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
What’s more, with Brad in her corner, Monica has also sidestepped any nastiness from his Oscar-winning wife, who heads her own Goop empire, adds the insider.
“As long as Monica is working under Brad’s tutelage, Gwyneth will never say a bad thing about her,” says the source.

“That’s funny in and of itself, because it’s well known in Gwyneth’s social circle that her marriage to Chris Martin ended because of his affairs with women younger than Gwyneth” — Martin vehemently denied cheating — “but here you have Gwyneth siding with the most famous ‘young mistress’ in American history! It’s crazy!”
“As for Brad, he’s a very levelheaded guy who doesn’t throw his support behind just anybody. If he thinks Monica has a future as a TV producer, that’s a big deal unto itself and Monica is going to get more opportunities as a result.”
“This is an alliance that will make both of them a lot of money.”
