Monica Lewinsky is American, blew an American president in...America.
Zahia is part French (has lived there since she was 10), had sex with high profile French guys...in France.
How these acts are perceived in each country are massively different.
Zahia will not be hung out to dry either personally or professionally for her past in France like Lewinsky was here. Not even close. Even if she had been 19 when this happened.

Nevertheless, people in the US are riddled with the Judeo-Christian theology of "forgiveness." She would eventually be "forgiven" in this country.
But it really doesn't matter because she'll probably never reside here. Good-looking and wealth always marries good-looking and wealth. She'll find some wealthy good-looking guy to marry. They'll have kids reared by nannies.
All you have to do is follow some of the European models/stars to see where this is going. Bridget Bardot, Sophia Loren...others.
