Donald Trump is no longer a star — at least not in Hollywood.

Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a man purporting to be a construction worker. Trump's name and the TV logo once emblazoned on the star are no longer visible.


The man used a sledgehammer and a pick-ax allegedly in an attempt to pluck the star from the sidewalk. He told Deadline, which first reported the encounter, that his name is Jamie Otis and he planned to auction the star to raise money for the women who have accused Trump of having sexually assaulted them over a span of decades.

According to Deadline, Otis began hammering the star around 5:45 a.m. but left before a Los Angeles Police Department cruiser pulled up a half-hour later.

About a dozen or so women have accused the Republican presidential nominee of forcibly kissing or groping them. The allegations emerged after Trump maintained in the second presidential debate that despite his lewd rhetoric in a leaked 2005 “Access Hollywood” video he has never sexually assaulted women.

Trump has vehemently denied all the allegations and threatened to sue his accusers after the election.

Wednesday, however, isn’t the first time Trump’s star has drawn someone’s ire or attention. It was vandalized in January, when a reverse swastika was spray-painted on it, followed by a mute symbol in June. In July, a barbed-wire wall was erected around it, mocking Trump’s proposal to build a wall on the border with Mexico.

The Hollywood star was dedicated to Trump in 2007 in recognition for hosting “The Apprentice.”
