Lewinsky tweeted on Thursday: “when zooming on phone, pay extra attention to replying privately vs everyone. was thrilled to share i was still in pj’s sans bra with my TED speaker community.”

Luckily, one of the TED speaker members warned her, “The private messages are still relayed in the meeting log. Be careful out there.” Lewinsky’s reaction? “Oh f–k.”

But a Zoom rep commented via email: “While we can’t speak for other tools, on Zoom private messages between participants are *not* viewable by the host (even if the meeting log is downloaded).”

Lewinsky’s 2015 TED Talk was called “The Price of Shame.”
