A former model, Stacey Williams, has sparked controversy by alleging that Donald Trump groped her in the 1990s during a meeting at Trump Tower, facilitated by renowned financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a recent CNN interview, Williams recounted how, upon meeting Trump in 1993, “his hands were just on me and didn’t come off." This incident reportedly occurred while she was in a relationship with Epstein, who was later convicted of sex crimes.
The Trump campaign responded to the allegations, claiming they are unfounded and politically charged, as Williams initially shared her story during a "Survivors for Kamala" event, supporting Trump’s rival, Kamala Harris. A spokesperson for Trump labeled the allegations “unequivocally false,” suggesting they serve to divert attention from recent accusations against Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, made by an unidentified ex-girlfriend.
Williams, describing the incident as “an out of body experience,” said she felt unable to move at that moment. Following the alleged encounter, she stated she ended her relationship with Epstein. This revelation follows a series of similar accusations against Trump since his 2016 presidential candidacy, all of which he denies. Notably, in 2023, Trump was found liable by a civil jury for sexually abusing writer E Jean Carroll, who has won two defamation lawsuits against him.
