Monica Lewinsky power lunches with hotshot Hillary donor

Monica Lewinsky may be keeping a low profile during this election season — but she was seen out with Hollywood mogul Ron Meyer in LA.

Page Six exclusively obtained pictures of Lewinsky and Meyer, vice chairman of NBCUniversal, meeting at a Brentwood restaurant recently. The pair shared an affectionate hug before Lewinsky looked crestfallen that they’d been caught on camera.

Sources speculated about why Meyer — who is a Hillary Clinton donor and supporter — would be meeting with Monica.

One said, “It seemed to be more of a friendly business meeting than a budding romance. Could there be a Monica movie in the works?”

But sources close to Meyer told us, “They are longtime friends and decided to catch up when they were both in LA. There’s definitely no romance. Ron is married, and he certainly wouldn’t be going to one of the most public power-lunch spots with Monica if they were sneaking around.”

As for Lewinsky, we’re told she is still traveling worldwide and speaking about her anti-cyberbullying crusade, but she will not be drawn into taking sides on the election.

Meanwhile, Meyer has extended his contract with NBCUniversal for another five years. The contract extension is a vote of confidence by Comcast, which fully acquired the studio’s parent company, NBCUniversal, in 2013. Meyer’s new deal comes off the back of a record-breaking 2015 for the studio’s box-office earnings.
