Stacey Williams, a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, came forward with an allegation that Donald Trump groped her while Jeffrey Epstein watched 31 years ago. Williams shared her story on a “Survivors for Kamala” Zoom call, emphasizing her desire to prevent Trump from being re-elected. Despite the Trump campaign denying the allegations, seven people confirmed her credibility and consistency. Williams described the incident where Trump groped her outside his office as Epstein calmly conversed with him and objectified her appearance. She felt a mix of confusion, shame, and embarrassment after the encounter, never discussing it with Epstein again. Williams had previously mentioned the incident to friends, with one recalling seeing a postcard from Trump with a message written on it. Williams decided to come forward with her story after being interviewed for a film about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, aiming to provide more context before its premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival. This allegation adds to several others against Trump, including the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape. Despite the timing of Williams’ claim, she emphasized her readiness to speak out against harmful behaviors like sexual assault. By sharing her story, Williams hopes to raise awareness about the lasting effects of such traumatic experiences.
