Stars were quick to join the masses by weighing in on Donald Trump's latest scandal: A leaked 2005 tape of him joking with Today show anchor Billy Bush about being famous enough to freely sexually harass women.

In the video, obtained by The Washington Post, Trump boasts that as a "star," women let him do anything he wants and brags of kissing and groping women he's attracted to.

Trump graphically describes attempts to sleep with a married woman, telling Bush, then an Access Hollywood host, "I did try and f--- her," acknowledging he was unsuccessful. "I moved on her like a b---- but I couldn't get there," Trump says.

It got coarser from there. In the video, prior to Trump greeting a woman while visiting the set of Days of Our Lives, Trump says, "I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her," adding that he immediately starts kissing "beautiful" women when he encounters them.

Trump apologizes for video bragging about groping women

Trump released the following statement: “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago," the GOP presidential nominee says. "Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

Bush apologized and said he was embarrassed, in a statement he issued late Friday via NBCUniversal.

“Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed," the statement said. "It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago — I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.”

Meanwhile, here are some reactions from Hollywood:=
