Miss USA Contestant Says Trump Barged in on Her in Dressing Room
OCTOBER 13, 2016

Meanwhile, a former Miss USA beauty pageant contestant has told The Guardian Donald Trump walked in on her and a fellow contestant as the two were getting dressed during the pageant in 2001. She says she was changing when she heard a security officer tell someone outside the room that people were naked in the dressing room. She says Trump then "walked in, he stood and he stared. He was doing it because he knew that he could." Donald Trump owned the Miss USA pageant at the time. Four years later, Trump boasted of walking in on beauty pageant contestants during an interview with "The Howard Stern Show."
Donald Trump: "I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else, and, you know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant, and therefore I’m inspecting it. You know, I’m inspecting. I want to make sure that everything is good. Yeah, the dresses. 'Is everyone OK?' You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody OK?' And you see these incredible-looking women. And so, I sort of get away with things like that."

Donald Trump is facing a barrage of accusations of sexual harassment and assault from multiple women, including a journalist, two former Miss USA beauty pageant contestants and two women who told The New York Times Trump sexually assaulted them, groping their bodies or kissing their lips without their consent. This is Jessica Leeds, speaking about sitting next to Trump on a plane in the early 1980s.
Jessica Leeds: "It was a real shock when all of a sudden his hands were all over me. He started encroaching on my space. And I hesitate to use this expression, but I’m going to. And that is, he was like an octopus. It was like he had six arms. He was all over the place. But it’s when he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. That was it. I was out of there."
The other woman who spoke to the Times, Rachel Crooks, says she ran into Trump outside an elevator at the Trump Tower in 2005. She says after the two shook hands, he kissed her cheeks multiple times and then kissed her on the mouth. She said, "I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that."

People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff also says Trump sexually assaulted her at the Mar-a-Lago in 2005, when she was interviewing him and Melania for a story about the first anniversary of their wedding. Stoynoff writes Trump was giving her a tour of the estate when "Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat." She writes that he also said, "You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?"
