‘Apprentice’ contestant says Trump kissed her
This story contains graphic language.
A number of women have come forward recently to say they were assaulted, groped or kissed without consent by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Breaking down sporadically as she read her statement, Zervos described an encounter with Trump where the billionaire took her to a Beverly Hills hotel room and kissed and groped her.
The Washington Post’s reporter contacted Anderson after hearing about the incident. “Ever since she was on The Apprentice she has had nothing but glowing things to say about Mr. Trump”.
Ms. Anderson says otherwise.
She went on in the interview to claim she believes there are many more women who have allegedly been assaulted or touched inappropriately by Trump. “Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you”, he said when speaking of one of the women. “That’s not OK.’ And we all sort of brushed it off and moved on”. “He’s (denying it) and there are a ton of women saying yes, and more will come out”. “I don’t think it reflects well”. “I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows”. Some may have thought they were the only ones who were victimized. “He came to me and started kissing me open mouthed as he was pulling me towards him”, she said.
She did not end up getting a job with the Trump Organization. NY photographer Brad Trent recounted Anderson telling him about the incident in March 2007.
Trump has denied all of the allegations.
Multiple women spoke out against Trump this week, claiming they were involved in incidents of assault or misconduct at the hands of the mogul. “There’s nobody around. They just come out”.
The sex allegations are continuing to damage Mr Trump’s election chances.
“He told me to meet him in the morning at his golf course in Palos Verdes”, Zervos said.
Later, Mr Trump told supporters in Charlotte, North Carolina, his accusers were fabricating their stories for publicity or to damage his campaign. CNN has not independently verified any of these allegations.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the new allegations.
U.S Republican Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence said there will be evidence coming out to prove Trump’s innocence, but didn’t elaborate on what information he was talking about. I pushed his chest to put space between us and I said, “C’mon, man, get real”.
Kristin Anderson, a onetime aspiring model, said Mr. Trump slipped his hand up her skirt in a New York City nightclub in the early 1990s.
“He then walked up, he grabbed my hand and walked me into the bedroom”. He walked up, grabbed my hand, and walked me into the bedroom. Zervos said the encounter left her feeling “nervous and embarrassed”, but after consulting her friends and family, she chose to pursue a job with Trump and met him for dinner at his request. “I’m getting hate mail now, so this does nothing for me”. She told the newspaper said she does not back Trump or Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. The fact that Allred is now involved only bolsters that impression: She also represents about half of the more than 50 women who have accused Cosby of assault.
However, at a campaign event Monday, Pence said he was standing with Trump.
“When I arrived, his security guard greeted me at the hotel”.
Over the years, Ms. Anderson, now 46 and a photographer in Southern California, recounted the story, casually at first, to people she knew.
Allred was also flanked by Zervos’ friend, social worker Ann Russo, who is among three people who have said Zervos confided in them about Trump’s alleged misconduct. I contacted Trump’s office to see if he was available for lunch.
“It’s a lie, total lie, it’s fabrication”, he said during the speech. She was reporting an article on his one-year wedding anniversary to his wife, Melania.
