8. Its Amazing How Ivanka Throws Her Own Mother Under the Bus

Ivanka says that she believes her father when her own mother was cheated on by Donald Trump. Talk about cold and opportunistic.

In her new book, Raising Trump, out Tuesday, Ivana recounts how she’s rejected all of Maples’ public apologies for the actress’ headline-making affair with Trump in the mid-1990s that ultimately broke up his first marriage to Ivana. (Trump was married to Ivana from 1977 until 1992, and to Maples — with whom he shares daughter Tiffany — from 1993 to 1999. He married his third and current wife, First Lady Melania Trump, in 2005.)

In her book, Ivana refers to Maples almost exclusively as “the showgirl” — and blasts her for “knowingly entering into a relationship with my husband, the father of three small children.”

“She actively participated in humiliating me in the media and indirectly put my kids at risk for months,” writes Ivana, who has three children with Trump: Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. “I went through hell, and then I was expected to be okay with her being around my children?”

“We all have deep scars from that period of our lives, in part due to her actions,” she adds.
