Former Swimsuit Model Talks About Groping Incident With Trump
Former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams offered shocking details regarding a groping incident with Donald Trump while financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was in the room. CNN captured Williams’ vivid account last Thursday, making it the first time she talked about it on camera.
According to Williams, she was in her 20s at the time and was dating Epstein. Epstein brought her to Trump Tower where they met with Trump.
After a brief greeting from Trump, Williams alleged that he began touching her intimately. “The second he was in front of me, he pulled me into him, and his hands were just on me and didn’t come off,” she described. “And then the hands started moving, and they were on the, you know, on the side of my breasts, on my hips, back down to my butt, back up, sort of then, you know—they were just on me the whole time. And I froze. I couldn’t understand what was going on.”
Referring to it as “one of the strangest moments of my life,” the Pennsylvania native recounted how the two men continued their conversation as if nothing were happening. What she did in the next few moments, she said, was difficult to remember.
“I think I probably was trying to smile and go through the motions of being engaged the way you would in a social situation. But it was an out-of-body experience,” Williams narrated, trying to recall past events. “So, I don’t know if I spoke, I don’t know if I answered questions, I don’t know.”
Shortly after, the model claimed Trump sent her a postcard through the modeling agency she worked for. With a picture of the former US president’s Mar-a-Lago beach resort on the front, he reportedly wrote on the back, “Stacey, Your home away from home. Love, Donald.”
Trump’s Representative Responds
A spokesperson from Trump’s campaign denied the allegations and labeled it an attempt by Kamala Harris’ campaign to thwart the public’s attention. “These accusations, announced on a Harris Campaign call two weeks before the election, are false,” said Karoline Leavitt, speaking on behalf of the Trump campaign.
“It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by Kamala Harris’ campaign to distract from the deeply concerning and newly unearthed allegations that the Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff ‘forcefully slapped’ his ex-girlfriend,” Leavitt added.
Interestingly, CNN also consulted three of Williams’ friends who corroborated that the former swimsuit model shared the incident with them in 2006, 2015, and 2018.
As the election draws closer, public reactions to Williams’ account and the Trump campaign’s denial are stirring lively debate. Whether or not it influences voters’ opinions, the interview has undeniably sparked fresh discussion over the longstanding accusations involving high-profile individuals.
