Former model Stacey Williams has alleged former President Donald Trump groped her at his New York penthouse after Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender, introduced her to him. Trump has denied the allegations.
Williams, a model in the 1990s, detailed the allegations during a call on Monday organized by Survivors for Kamala. The group is made up of more than 200 survivors of sexual and gender-based violence advocating for Vice President Kamala Harris to win the upcoming presidential election.
According to The Guardian, which first reported the call, Williams alleged that Trump, then a real estate mogul, groped different parts of her body while smiling at Epstein, who later “berated” her. Williams said Epstein asked her after the alleged incident why she “let [Trump] do that,” which made her feel like “a piece of meat.”
Trump’s national press secretary for his 2024 campaign, Karoline Leavitt, told the British newspaper: “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”
Newsweek has contacted Trump’s team via email outside of working hours for further comment. It has also contacted Survivors for Kamala via email.
Williams, a native of rural Pennsylvania, described meeting Epstein during her modeling years. She said she had no knowledge of his abuse at the time.
In a video published by The Guardian, Williams said: “In 1992, my agent invited me to a dinner, to a restaurant in the Upper East Side of New York. And there were other models and the usual men, hangers-on, at this dinner. And one of the men who was sitting at this table was Jeffery Epstein.
“And I had never heard of him or anything, but we got to know each other, and we talked a lot about Clinton and Gore. I enjoyed the fact that he was politically engaged and wasn’t infantilizing me and talking to me about that.”
She said: “The next time that I saw Jeffrey was a few months later, in December of ’92, at Donald Trump’s Plaza Hotel Christmas party. And it became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together.
