Speaking on a Zoom call hosted by Survivors for Kamala on Monday, Stacey Williams called out former President Donald Trump for groping her back in the '90s when the two were introduced by convicted s*xual abuser Jeffrey Epstein.

Williams played the titular character's former girlfriend in the 1996 movie, Jerry Maguire. The model, known for being a regular on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuits issues, contended that the two met at a party in early 1993, hosted at Trump Tower. She recalled being invited to go by Epstein, her former lover. But when they arrived there, Trump pulled her in and groped her. She called the ordeal a “twisted game” between the two men.

Snyder in the acting industry, played ex-girlfriend #9, alongside Lucy Liu, Justina Vail Evans, Samantha Smith, Ivana Miličević, Lisa Stahl, Emily Procter, Stacey Williams, Lisa Ann Hadley, Alison Armitage, and Rebecca Rigg.

Stacey Williams claims Donald Trump sent her a postcard after the alleged incident

According to a report by The Guardian, which came out on October 23, Stacey Williams, recalling her allegedly harrowing encounter with Donald Trump, said she froze as she was “deeply confused” about what he was doing to her. However, she believes she saw Epstein and Trump exchange smiles:

"It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together."

She continued, alleging that Trump couriered a postcard to her agent, one that depicted a bird's eye view of Mar-a-Lago, one of his estates with the following words:

"Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald."

In recalling the moments after the alleged incident, Stacey revealed she felt like she had upset the late s*x offender.

"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 went on:

"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."

Stacey Williams, now 56, has been vocal about her encounter with the Republican Presidential nominee in the past on social media.

However, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for Donald Trump’s campaign, has refuted all such allegations in a statement released by the outlet. It claims that "these accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false."

The statement further alleged : "It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign.”
