A former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model has come forward with allegations that former President Donald Trump groped her in the 1990s during an encounter at Trump Tower. Stacey Williams detailed the incident in her first on-camera interview, stating that Trump's hands were on her inappropriately while he conversed with Jeffrey Epstein, whom she was briefly dating at the time.
Williams described feeling frozen and humiliated during the encounter, which took place outside Trump's office. She received a postcard from Trump shortly after the incident, further unsettling her.
Trump's campaign denied the allegations, attributing them to a political ploy by Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. Williams also shared her interactions with Epstein, highlighting his predatory behavior.
Despite the incident, Williams chose not to speak out during Trump's 2016 campaign, citing family considerations. However, after the #MeToo movement gained momentum, she began finding ways to discuss her experience.
Williams' decision to speak out more publicly was influenced by her participation in a documentary about the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She emphasized that her motivation was not driven by the ongoing presidential campaign but by the timing of the documentary's release.
Throughout the years, Williams has been an active Democratic supporter and volunteer, engaging in various social and political causes. Her account adds to a series of allegations against Trump, who has consistently denied such claims.
