Trump Flaunts Teen for Vodka Party? [View all]
This article was just referenced by the guest host on Adam Mockler's YouTube channel. Why has this received no attention?
https://www.tmz.com/2008/03/18/trump-flaunts-teen-for-vodka-party/
Donald Trump and his vodka line could be in hot water after pics surfaced of a 17-year-old girl -- naked except for body paint -- serving (and quaffing) drinks at a 944 Magazine Super Bowl party for the vodka.
In photos obtained by Nik Richie over at TheDirty.com, Chanell Elaine Hallett is seen working as a hostess -- totally nude except for a little paint. According to the website, her drivers license suggests that her 18th birthday would've fallen about a week and a half after the Super Bowl week event. (And in case you're wondering, it's common for AZ licenses to be good for 50 years.)
For their part 944 Magazine says they "had no part in hiring promotional models for the Trump Vodka lounge. Trump Vodka outsourced the models through an Arizona-based promotional modeling and marketing agency and neither party was aware of the underage hire. All precautions were taken to ensure all service staff was of legal age, and we do intend to investigate the issue further."

Trump Vodka's early success was not to last. In February 2008, the brand ran into its first major scandal during a sponsored Super Bowl party. At first, the party seemed like another hit, attracting the likes of Paris Hilton and Brody Jenner, who were regulars on the nightlife circuit back then. Then, party photos surfaced of a 17-year-old hostess working at the Trump Vodka lounge while topless. Trump's team denied hiring the woman, claiming she snuck in to gain media attention for herself.
