Writer Says She Was Attacked by Trump

October 12, 2016 · 10:51 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Natahsa Stoynoff writes for People magazine about how she was physically attacked by Donald Trump at Mar-a-Largo in 2005:

We walked into that room alone, and 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.

Now, I’m a tall, strapping girl who grew up wrestling two giant brothers. I even once sparred with Mike Tyson. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger—a looming figure—and he was fast, taking me by surprise, and throwing me off balance.

I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.
