A former beauty pageant contestant who competed in the Miss USA pageant, which was then owned by Donald Trump, has said that the Republican presidential nominee used to walk in on the contestants while they were changing and that they were forced to greet him naked.
“Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis,” former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon told a local daily.
“He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked,” she added.
Dixon said she and her fellow contestants were put in an awkward position when “the owner come waltzing in when we were naked or half naked in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention,” according to cbslocal.com.
In an audio recording re-released last week, Trump was heard saying on “The Howard Stern Show” that he used to walk backstage when contestants were getting dressed.
"I'll go backstage before a show and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else," he was heard saying.
"And you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it," he added.
Trump said that as the owner of the pageant he got away with things like that.
"Is everyone OK? You know they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that," he had said on the show.
In an audio clip leaked last week, recorded back in 2005, Trump was heard making lewd and sexually aggressive comments about women.
Trump made lewd remarks about an unidentified married woman he hoped to have sex with, boasting about how easy it was to attract women with his celebrity status and even talked about groping women.
"When you're a star, women let you do anything," he was recorded as saying.
