Another Miss Universe Contestant Says She Was Fat-Shamed By Donald Trump

A second Miss Universe contestant has come forward to claim that she was fat-shamed by Donald Trump.

Jodie Seal, who was Miss Australia in the 1996 event, told Inside Edition that the future Republican presidential nominee called the girls “some pretty horrible names.”

“He said to me, ‘suck your stomach in, or suck your gut in,’” she recalled. “He always wanted us to be sexy.”

She also described him as “controlling.”

“He’d walk by while we were eating,” Seal said. “He put a lot of the girls down.”

Trump is currently embroiled in a controversy over one of Seal’s fellow competitors. Alicia Machado, who won the event as Miss Venezuela, said Trump called her “Miss Piggy” for gaining weight after winning, and “Miss Houskeeping” because of her Latina heritage.

And will be stuck on the defense explaining himself through the next debate unless he can come up with a fresh bombshell. He bungled up all his best attack lines in the last debate. I think there's panic in his camp.

This is how Donald Trump controls women. Why would any woman will want to support such a man as Donald Trump?
