In a recent CNN interview, former model Stacey Williams shared a shocking allegation: she claims that Donald Trump groped her in the 1990s. The incident supposedly took place in 1993 when Jeffrey Epstein, whom Williams was dating at the time, introduced her to Trump at Trump Tower in New York City.
Williams recounted her experience, saying, “The second he [Trump] was in front of me, he pulled me into him, and his hands were just on me and didn’t come off.” According to her, while Trump and Epstein chatted, Trump’s hands wandered from her hips to her buttocks, describing it as an "out of body experience" that left her frozen in shock.
The Trump campaign quickly refuted her allegations, claiming they are politically motivated. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump, noted that Williams first shared her story during an event supporting Kamala Harris, one of Trump’s political rivals. "It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign," she asserted.
In the midst of this controversy, the attention has also turned to Doug Emhoff, Harris's husband, who faced accusations from an ex-girlfriend of slapping her in 2012. Emhoff denied the claim. Meanwhile, Williams decided to end her relationship with Epstein shortly after the alleged incident.
This isn't the first time Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct. Since he announced his presidential run in 2016, numerous women have stepped forward with allegations against him, all of which he has vehemently denied. A civil jury found him liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 2023, leading to successful defamation suits by her against him. As the 2024 elections loom, these allegations continue to spark heated discussions in the political arena.
