Former Model Accuses Donald Trump of Groping in a ‘Twisted Game’ Involving Jeffrey Epstein

A former model, Stacey Williams, has accused Donald Trump of groping her in what she believes was part of a "twisted game" involving Jeffrey Epstein. Williams claims that in 1993, Trump inappropriately touched her after Epstein introduced them at Trump Tower. The incident occurred months after their initial meeting in 1992, during a Christmas party, where Williams was introduced to Trump by Epstein, who had shown interest in her and dated her casually for a few months.

Williams, a former professional model, alleges that Epstein and Trump had a close friendship. She recalls an incident in the late winter or early spring of 1993 when Epstein invited her to visit Trump at Trump Tower. Once there, Williams says Trump groped her by placing his hands on her breasts, waist, and buttocks. She claims she was shocked and confused, noticing that Trump and Epstein appeared to smile at each other during the incident.

Trump’s campaign has denied the allegations. Karoline Leavitt, his press secretary, issued a statement calling the claims “unequivocally false” and attributing them to political motivations. According to the statement, the accusations were connected to Williams' involvement in Democratic circles and timed for political impact, coming shortly before the 2024 election.

Williams shared that following the incident, Trump sent her a postcard from Mar-a-Lago, writing, “Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald,” using his signature black Sharpie. She shared this evidence with the Guardian.

On a recent Zoom call organized by the group "Survivors for Kamala," which supports Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Williams discussed her experience. The call featured prominent figures like actor Ashley Judd and academic Anita Hill. The group also placed an ad in the New York Times, signed by 200 survivors of sexual violence, reminding the public of Trump’s previous sexual abuse liabilities.

Williams said Epstein grew angry after the incident, berating her and asking, "Why did you let him do that?" She recalls feeling deeply ashamed and confused, suspecting the incident was part of a twisted scheme between Trump and Epstein.

Williams had kept quiet about the experience for years, choosing to live a private life. She explained that witnessing the treatment of other women who came forward with allegations against Trump discouraged her from speaking out publicly. However, as Trump’s misconduct allegations resurfaced, Williams began to share her story with friends and through social media posts.

Friends corroborate her claims, with one friend recalling Williams sharing the story as far back as 2005. Another friend, Ally Gutwillinger, remembers Williams talking about the alleged groping incident when Trump launched his presidential campaign in 2015. Gutwillinger also recalled seeing the Mar-a-Lago postcard Williams had mentioned.

Williams’ story adds to the already extensive list of women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct, dating back decades. Trump has denied all allegations, including those made by former model Amy Dorris and columnist E. Jean Carroll, the latter of whom won a $5 million judgment after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in 1996.

While there is no evidence linking Trump directly to Epstein's crimes, the two men were friends for years, attending the same social events throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Trump distanced himself from Epstein after the financier's arrest on sex-trafficking charges in 2019, claiming they had a falling out years earlier.

Despite her reluctance to come forward initially, Williams is now more confident in speaking out, encouraged by the growing support for survivors. Her allegations, along with those of other women, continue to raise questions about Trump’s past behavior and his connections to Epstein, a man now regarded as one of the most notorious sexual predators in modern history.

These accusations, tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s twisted influence, continue to resonate as Trump faces ongoing legal battles and public scrutiny regarding his past actions.
