The Cessation Court ruled Tuesday such is the reputation of the former White House intern for U.S. President Bill Clinton that when a Puglia woman sued a lawyer for saying she had a "Lewinskian nature," it was a bad enough insult to be considered libel, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.

The woman, identified only Gennarina M., reportedly was angry that a lower court ruled the unidentified lawyer did not libel her with the jibe, so she appealed, and the Cessation Court said a new trial was in order.

ANSA said Gennarina M. only sued the lawyer after seeing the derogatory description -- which also accused her of "uterine ramblings" -- in a legal document.

Lewinsky, a White House intern from 1995 to 1997, who admitted she and Clinton had engaged in a relationship that involved oral sex in the Oval Office.
