Teen Beauty Queens Say Donald Trump Walked in on Them Changing When They Were as Young as 15

At least four women who competed in a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant told BuzzFeed News that Donald Trump walked into their dressing room while the contestants as young as 15 were undressing.

Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, tells Buzzfeed that the now 70-year-old Republican presidential candidate caused a panic in the dressing room of the 1997 pageant when he barged in unannounced as the young women were changing.

However, she says Trump shrugged off the intrusion, saying something along the lines of: "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before."

Three other former teen beauty queens, who wished to remain anonymous, corroborated Billado's account. They recalled the girls hurrying to cover themselves, with one calling Trump's behavior "shocking" and "creepy."

1. trump bragged about this

Link to tweet

[William Seger]

4. He'd "seen it all before" because he had already been spying on them, I assume (nt)

[2naSalit]

2. Sometime in the last year...

I watched a video about the beauty pageant world and how epstein and the Victoria's Secret business were connected and it showed video of -45 and others overlooking contestants in conference rooms, the girls were in their underwear or bikinis, it was pretty lurid.At least one of the 'models' describe how they were used and sexually abused regularly.

Sorry I can't recall the title but it was posted here in DU

[Silent Type]

3. Most voters probably remember it, but enough voters just didn't care.

[William Seger]

10. Like the pathological lying and racism

It isn't said often enough: #rump is a shitty president because he's a shitty human being.

[Takket]

5. yeah i remember the story, and the response from the media was crickets

but everyone in the country can have a pavlovian reaction to the mention of "Hillary's emails". Thanks to the media.

[MineralMan]

6. I sure do.

It should have been a major story, I think.

[William Seger]

7. Maybe it would have been a bigger story if he had been arrested

... which is what would likely have happened if some random creep did that, unless they were also very rich.

[Emile]

8. Then there's also the 13 year old who said Trump raped her.

at one of the Epstein parties in New York.

[FakeNoose]

25. Katie Johnson (not her real name) reminded Chump of his own 13-year-old daughter

... and THAT is why she was forcibly raped.

[rsdsharp]

9. He'd "seen it all before," but he just couldn't wait to see it again.

[Bob_in_VA]

11. He'd "seen it all before,"

Isn't this during the same period that Epstein was deeply involved in trafficking minors girls for sex? Of course Donnie had "seen it before"... at Epstein's parties.

[surfered]

12. Yes, we remember. A testament to his character, or lack there of.

[barbtries]

13. yes i do remember it.

i remember as well that krasnov went on Howard Stern and bragged about it.

?si=gSAgknrh1g-842TM

this is 9 years old. he's a depraved monster and it was no secret.

[question everything]

15. Indood I dee!

I also remember the one from the nineties where trump wouldn't pay employees
and threatened he would tie it up in courts for decades.
Or the one where he'll sue if you compare his father to an orangutan. N/T

[ColoringFool]

18. There are innumerable examples of Trump's duplicity. THIS TOPIC....

Is a very particular one.

[IronLionZion]

16. Yes, and enough people voted for him anyway

tons of evidence in his own words. It's a lot for a supposedly innocent person.

[ColoringFool]

17. "[L]adies." A pedo's typical "aging" of minors [See: Kelly,....

Megyn].

There is almost ZERO % CHANCE that Trump's pageants (also Miss Universe) and "modeling" company were NOT sources for Epstein's sex trafficking network.

That Trump sat young Ivanka provocatively on his lap; that he mentioned she was "date-worthy" for HIMSELF; and that he mused aloud if newborn Tiffany would have her mother Marla's bosom, speaks---no, SHOUTS---encyclopedic volumes about Trump’s sexual depravity.

When even Jeffrey Epstein calls you evil.....

[Fil1957]

19. Yep, and he braggs about it too...

[William Seger]

20. Like the pussy grabbing, he thinks he's entitled (nt)

[GopherGal]

21. Somewhere I read Ivanka's opinion on it.

She was brought in as a "co-host" of the Miss Teen USA pageant (in 1997 at the age of 15 if my Googling is accurate) and someone asked Vanky about it and her response was "he does that"

Sounds frighteningly nonchalant. I can't imagine mid-90's tweener Ivanka's friends' mothers let them come over for sleepovers if they had any idea.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

23. That's heartbreaking to me

Growing up as a daughter to that monster.

[mwmisses4289]

27. Apparently she responded somewhat uncomfortably, embarrassed by dad's bad behavior.

"Yeah, he does that". Lots of implication there, and rumors have been rife for years about their relationship being an unnatural father daughter relationship.

[GopherGal]

31. Well, you know "sex" is that they have in common

according to her utterly disgusting father


These are some of the more sympathetic thoughts I had about her before 2017 or so when she became just another Trump opportunist nepo baby.

[malaise]

22. He boasted about this

On Stern

[czarjak]

24. "I'm a great Christian."

[CBHagman]

26. I do remember the story...

...but not which outlets were covering it.

The story is yet another reminder of how much disturbing information was out there and how people (Republicans, voters, members of the media) did not treat it as proof of his unfitness for, well, much of anything in a functioning society.

[sop]

28. Everything we know about Trump now we knew about him then, before he was elected in 2016.

Corporate media largely ignored it and pretended Trump's despicable and criminal behavior really didn't matter.

[William Seger]

30. It doesn't even raise an eyebrow these days, it's just #rump being #rump (nt)

[Dave Bowman]

29. That perv is not skeevy at all. 🙁
