Former Miss Teen USA contestants say Trump walked in where contestants as young as 15 were dressing

Teen Beauty Queens Say Donald Trump Walked in on Them Changing When They Were as Young as 15

At least four women who competed in a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant told BuzzFeed News that Donald Trump walked into their dressing room while the contestants as young as 15 were undressing.

Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, tells Buzzfeed that the now 70-year-old Republican presidential candidate caused a panic in the dressing room of the 1997 pageant when he barged in unannounced as the young women were changing.

However, she says Trump shrugged off the intrusion, saying something along the lines of: “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”

Three other former teen beauty queens, who wished to remain anonymous, corroborated Billado’s account. They recalled the girls hurrying to cover themselves, with one calling Trump’s behavior “shocking” and “creepy.”

Buzzfeed also contacted eleven other contestants from the same pageant who had no recollection of Trump entering the dressing room.

Donald Trump’s campaign has not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The new accusations echo previous comments made by the business mogul during a 2005 interview with Howard Stern, in which Trump revealed he would go backstage while Miss Universe contestants were changing.

“Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, 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,” Trump said. “You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good.”
