A former model claims Donald Trump groped her after being introduced to her by Jeffrey Epstein

A former model claims Donald Trump groped her after being introduced to her by Jeffrey Epstein

The former model said Donald Trump sexually harassed her after Jeffrey Epstein introduced them both in 1993.

Stacey Williams, then a professional model, said she met the former president at Trump Tower, where he grabbed her and put his hands “on my breasts, waist and buttocks,” The Guardian reported.

“I felt like I was coming back to that movie, even though the hands were on me,” she told the outlet in an interview published Wednesday. “And I had a terrible hole in my stomach that was somehow orchestrated. I felt like a piece of meat.”

Trump’s presidential campaign denied the allegations and said they were planted by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. Williams has previously spoken vaguely in social media posts about Trump harassing her, but has never fully described their interaction.

She provided The Guardian with a postcard from Palm Beach, Florida, which she said she received from Trump. It read: “Stacey – Your home away from home. I love you, Donald.

More than 20 women have accused Trump of sexual assault and harassment, and his friendship with Epstein has been well documented.

“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years – great guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s having a great time with him. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are younger.

As president, Trump claimed he had a falling out with Epstein in the early 2000s and that they had not spoken in 15 years. Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in August 2019.

Trump, 78, was also found liable in a civil court for the sexual assault of writer E. Jean Carroll and ordered to pay $5 million.
