Former Model Alleges Trump Groped Her without Consent: ‘He Made Me Feel So Disgusting’
A former model has come forward with new allegations of sexual abuse against former President Donald Trump, adding to the growing list of women who have accused him of misconduct over the decades. Stacey Williams, who worked as a model in the 1990s, told The Guardian that she was introduced to Trump in 1992 through Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire convicted of sex crimes who later died by suicide in prison.
Williams, who was casually dating Epstein at the time, described a 1993 encounter in which Trump allegedly groped her without consent. She claims that during a visit to Trump Tower, Trump pulled her toward him and put his hands “all over my breasts,” as well as on her waist and buttocks.
“He made me feel so disgusting, and I remember being so utterly confused,” Williams told The Guardian. She recounted the experience as part of what she believed was a “twisted game” orchestrated by Epstein. After the incident, she said Epstein berated her, leaving her feeling even more humiliated. “I felt shame and disgust… like a piece of meat,” she added, describing the lasting impact of the assault.
Williams first hinted at the allegations on social media but provided further details during a call with the advocacy group Survivors for Kamala, according to the report. The timing of the allegations, just two weeks before the election, drew sharp criticism from Trump’s camp.
Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for Trump’s campaign, dismissed the accusations as “unequivocally false” in a statement to The Guardian. Leavitt also claimed that Williams had been a “former activist for Barack Obama” and suggested the allegations were part of a political strategy orchestrated by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign. “It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign,” Leavitt said, casting doubt on the credibility of Williams’s claims.
Williams is not alone in her accusations against Trump. At least 26 women have accused the former president of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, since the 1970s. The allegations against Trump range from unwanted touching and aggressive kissing to sexual assault and rape. Trump has consistently denied all accusations of sexual misconduct.
The latest accusation follows a significant legal ruling earlier this year. In May 2023, a Manhattan jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. That verdict, which did not result in criminal charges but was part of a civil lawsuit, was a rare legal defeat for Trump related to his history of sexual misconduct allegations.
As the 2024 election approaches, Trump continues to face legal battles and accusations from multiple women. For Williams, coming forward now is a part of her healing process, despite the potential backlash. “I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated,” she told The Guardian, reflecting on the trauma she has carried for years.
