Trump accused of ‘groping’ 6ft mannequin Stacey Williams after Epstein ‘launched them’
Bombshell allegations have been made against Donald Trump including “groping” and being “really, really good friends with” Jeffrey Epstein.
His accuser is Stacey Williams, who claims the US presidential candidate touched her sexually in the 90s following an introduction from Epstein. She claims Trump and Epstein “spent a lot of time together” and engaged in a “twisted game” with her. The Trump administration has denied Williams’ accusations levelled against their candidate, calling them “unequivocally false”. But who is Williams and where did she come from?
Born in Dallas, Pennsylvania in 1968, Williams made a huge splash as she became a mainstay of the legendary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues from 1992 to 1998.
She was also in the 40th anniversary issue in 2004.

William’s modelling career kicked off in the 80s where she quickly became a popular figure in the industry and working with top tier fashion brands and photographers, probably thanks to her height of 6ft.
Working alongside the likes of Tyra Banks, Christie Brinkley, Heidi Klum and Rebecca Romijn, Williams’ work with Sports Illustrated helped establish her as one of the most prominent swimsuit models of her time.
In 2013 she returned to Sport Illustrated for a celebration of its 50 Greatest Swimsuit models, where she ranked 19th.

Outside of modelling, Williams has also featured in a number of minor films including The Dogwalker, Gangster World, and a brief role in Jerry Maguire. Beyond her high-profile modelling work, Williams has managed to maintain a relatively private life.
On her IMDB profile, Williams is said to be married to Evan Strauss with whom she has a child. The couple purchased a mansion in Los Angeles at the turn of the millennium.

Williams claims her encounter with Trump came in 1992 when she met him at a party, after being introduced to the future president by Epstein, whom she had dated.
Williams claims Epstein, who was found guilty of sex crimes and took his own life in prison in 2019, made a spontaneous visit to Trump with her at his New York office. She claimed that’s when Trump pulled her close and started to grope her.
According to Williams, Trump placed his hands “all over” her breasts, waist and buttocks, which caused her to freeze on the spot. She claimed she also noticed both men seemed to be exchanging smiles. After the alleged incident, Williams claims she and Epstein left Trump Tower, and that she began to feel Epstein growing angry at her.
On Monday Williams spoke about her alleged experience in a Zoom call, organised by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Williams claimed: “Jeffrey and I left and he didn’t look at me or speak to me and I felt this seething rage around me, and when we got down to the sidewalk, he looked at me and just berated me, and said: ‘Why did you let him do that?’.”
“He made me feel so disgusting and I remember being so utterly confused,” she said. Williams said how the alleged incident looked to be part of a “twisted game”.
She told The Guardian: “I felt shame and disgust and as we went our separate ways, I felt this sensation of revisiting it, while the hands were all over me. And I had this horrible pit in my stomach that it was somehow orchestrated. I felt like a piece of meat.”
