Oct 24, 2024, 07:42 AM

Stacey Williams, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and former activist for Barack Obama, has accused former President Donald Trump of groping her at Trump Tower in 1993 after being introduced by Jeffrey Epstein, whom she was briefly dating at the time. Williams alleges that Trump pulled her into him and groped her in front of Epstein, in what she described as a 'twisted game' between the two men. 'I felt shame and disgust...I felt like a piece of meat,' she said. Williams reportedly made the allegations during a call organized by a group called 'Survivors for Kamala,' expressing her support for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. She had previously alluded to the incident in Facebook posts starting in 2020 and in a documentary recorded in 2022. The Trump campaign has denied the allegations, calling the story 'fake,' 'contrived by the Harris campaign,' and stating that it is 'unequivocally false.' The timing of the allegations, coming shortly before the election, has drawn attention.
