Donald Trump Accused Of Walking In On Miss Teen USA Contestants While They Were Changing

Trending News: Miss Teen USA Contestants Say Trump Walked In On Them Naked

Why Is This Important?

Because Trump does love his "locker room talk."

Long Story Short

Donald Trump has been accused by several Miss Teen USA beauty queens that he walked in on contestants as young as 15 while they were changing. This comes shortly after an interview was dug up with Howard Stern where Trump bragged about walking in on Miss Universe and Miss USA contestants in the nude.

Long Story

Another day, another Trump scandal.

This morning, Buzzfeed News reported that four former Miss Teen USA contestants recall the Republican presidential candidate walking in on them while they were changing in the dressing room. Only one of the former beauty queens (princesses?) came forward with her name.

“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA said to Buzzfeed.

When he came in, Trump didn't say or do anything overtly sexual, he just said “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before,” Billado recalled.

“When he started running for president, that is one of the first things I thought about: Oh, gross, this guy walked in on us in the pageant,” said another woman, who wished to remain anonymous because she didn't want to get mixed up in a media firestorm. Girls were “just scrambling to grab stuff,” she added, “whatever garments they had.”

“At the time, you’re a teenager, you’re intimidated — it’s Donald Trump, he runs the pageant,” said another, adding that she felt like “it was his given right” to enter the dressing rooms “because he owned the pageant.”

Not exactly a far out thing to say, considering what Trump said to radio personality Howard Stern, as revealed by CNN just this Saturday.

“I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed,” Trump is recorded as saying to Howard Stern. “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. … ‘Is everyone OK?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”

No one had alleged that Trump acted the same way with Miss Teen USA until these new accusations.

However — and this is a big however — the majority of people Buzzfeed interviewed didn't recall Trump entering the room at all. Out of 51 former contestants they reached out to, thirty four declined to be interviewed or weren't reachable, four said he'd walked in on them and eleven don't remember it ever happening.

One of the former contestants who went on the record, former Miss Massachusetts Teen USA Jessica Granata, said she "can't even fathom" him walking in because the room "was very secure."

Allison Bowman, former Miss Wisconsin Teen USA, said if anyone were going to talk about this, it would be a group of teenagers. “These were teenage girls,” Bowman said. “If anything inappropriate had gone on, the gossip would have flown.”

Crystal Hughes, the former Miss Maine Teen USA, alleged that the four women who are accusing Trump of walking in on them were "probably lying because they are voting for Hillary Clinton.”

It's getting well beyond ridiculous how many scandals there are about what Trump has said in the past. At this point, people either like that he's a rude fear-mongering narcissist, or they don't. And I guess we'll find out at election time what people really think because he's not going anywhere before then.

Are these scandals good for Trump in the end because they divert attention from talking about real policies and keep his name in all the headlines?

Trump had owned the Miss Universe, Miss Teen USA and Miss USA pageants up until last year before he was dropped by NBC following his comments about Mexican "rapists" coming in to the United States.
