In reply to the discussion: Donald and Ivana Trump fight unsealing of divorce records [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(106,934 posts)37. There's the rape allegation (trigger warning: description of sexual violence)
Ivana Trumps assertion of rape came in a depositionpart of the early 90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.
The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.
...
What followed was a violent assault, according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivanas arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.
Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified It is a violent assault, Hurt writes. According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, he raped me.

Trump's camp has disputed this; if it's confirmed if really is in the divorce records, it will hurt him.

Ivana is NOT married to Trump. She has no part in his Presidential politics. Divorced him decades
