Who is Stacey Williams? Allegations against Trump explored as model claims he and Jeffrey Epstein were 'good friends'
Pennsylvania-born former model Stacey Williams has accused Donald Trump of inappropriately touching her in 1993. The 56-year-old reportedly spoke about the alleged incident on social media in the past without delving into details.
On Monday, October 21, Williams, who worked as a fashion model in the 1990s, recounted the purported occurrence on a Zoom call with The Guardian. Survivors for Kamala — a group consisting of s*xual assault and gender-based violence survivors who are supporting Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential bid - organized the event.
Williams claimed she first met the former president in 1992 after Jeffrey Epstein introduced them at Trump’s Christmas party at the Plaza Hotel in New York. She added:
"It became very clear then that he and Donald were really really good friends, and spent a lot of time together."
Williams said she and Jeffrey Epstein had dated briefly after that party and during their conversations the late s*x offender frequently mentioned Trump. According to the former professional model, the alleged incident with Trump happened in late Winter or early Spring of 1993.
Stacey Williams continued that she and Epstein were walking from his Upper East Side townhouse to 5th Avenue when he suggested they stop by Trump Tower to see the then-real estate developer. After they arrived at Trump Tower, and the former president greeted them, Williams alleged:
"He pulled me into him and started groping me."
Williams accused Trump of putting his hands over certain areas of her body, leaving her stunned. She added:
"I froze because I was so deeply confused about what was happening as the hands were moving all over me."
The 56-year-old former model claimed the alleged molestation happened all while Trump and Epstein were smiling at each other as they continued their conversation.
Stacey Williams says Trump sent her a postcard after the alleged incident in 1993
Stacey Williams said after she and Jeffrey Epstein left Trump Tower following the alleged assault, she noticed a change in the air as the latter did not look at her or speak to her:
"I felt this like seething rage around him, his whole energy shifted. And when we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and started just berating me. He kept saying, 'Why did you let him do that? Why did you let him put his hands all over you?'"
Williams said Epstein's words made her feel "disgusting" but also left her confused as to why he was mad given that he was the one who took her to meet Trump.
She expressed her bewilderment over her inability to stop the incident, reasoning herself to be someone with a natural tendency to fight back against predators. Williams continued:
"I felt so humiliated, and so sick to my stomach, and was so upset. And as I absorbed what happened a few minutes later, I felt like that was some sort of sick bet or game between the two of them."
Stacey Williams claimed it was supposedly a "twisted game" between Trump and Epstein, which left her feeling like a "piece of meat".
Shortly after the alleged assault, Williams' agent received a postcard couriered to them from Mar-a-Lago. The former model claimed there was a "personal message" from Donald Trump on the back of the postcard, and it made her "sick" to look at it.
Stacey Williams shared the message with The Guardian, which read:
"Stacey — Your home away from home. Love Donald."
The postcard also contained a view of the former President's Palm Beach resort.
However, the national press secretary for Donald Trump's 2024 election campaign, Karoline Leavitt, denied Stacey Williams' allegations:
"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."
Actress Ashley Judd and prominent academic law professor Anita Hill were also featured on the Zoom call arranged by Survivors for Kamala.
