Stacey Williams, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, recently went public with an allegation that Donald Trump groped her while Jeffrey Epstein watched 31 years ago. She shared her story on a public Zoom call organized by Survivors for Kamala, with the goal of winning the upcoming election. Williams’ decision to come forward was not influenced by the Democratic Party, and she had no communication with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. Trump’s campaign spokesperson denied the allegation, calling it false.
During the incident, Trump allegedly groped Williams while Epstein looked on, treating her as an object and focusing on her appearance. Williams felt humiliated, ashamed, and confused, eventually cutting off contact with Epstein. She shared a postcard with NBC News, allegedly from Trump, acknowledging the encounter. Williams told friends about the incident as early as 2006, with some confirming her story. The timing of Williams’ decision to speak out coincides with the Woodstock Film Festival screening of a film she was featured in, prompting her to provide additional context.
Trump has faced various allegations of sexual misconduct, including from E. Jean Carroll, whom he was found liable for sexually abusing but not raping. The latest allegation against Trump surfaces before Election Day, adding to the existing accusations against him. Williams hopes that by sharing her story, she can shed light on the harmful impact of sexual assault and contribute to the conversation surrounding such misconduct.
