Ex-Apprentice Contestant: Trump Was ‘Thrusting His Genitals’ at Me

Source: Daily Beast

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on season five of The Apprentice, came forward on Friday with new accusations of sexual assault on the part of GOP nominee Donald Trump. Speaking alongside attorney Gloria Allred, Zervos said Trump “thrusted” his “genitals” on her. She spoke about an incident in which she had lunch with Trump and he kissed her on the lips twice. “This is not what I wanted or expected,” she said, adding that she told her friend and parents about what had happened at the time. In a separate incident, Trump began kissing her “open mouth” and grabbed her breasts, Zervos alleges, adding that he later told her to “get real” and began “thrusting” his “genitals” on her.

then women would have come out back then.

Maybe we need to insist that this stuff should be reported when it happens to avoid others getting hurt and to put a stop to this type of behavior.

to attract a mate. Social conventions keep him from using it as evolution intended, however, so instead he's relegated to "thrusting his genitals."

Trump says a lot of things that convicted rapists say:

She let me do it. She didn't say no.

She's too ugly for me to have raped her. Look at her.

She was asking for it when she showed up for the interview.

The producers of the Apprentice surely knew that Trump was constantly engaging in workplace sexual assaults and harassment. And the NBC executives overseeing the production company must have had access to the daily rushes and also known that Trump was jeopardizing the company. I wonder if Gloria Allred is going after NBC?

27. Arsenio Hall on winning Apprentice with Trump as it's judge

"when you win Celebrity Apprentice and then all this kind of stuff happens ... You know what it's like? It's like being the winner of the Westminster Dog Show and finding out two years later that Michael Vick was the judge"

Actually, Hall had problems at the show:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/14/donald-trump-kept-calling-lil-jon-an-uncle-tom-celebrity-apprentice-staffers-say.html
It didn’t take long for multiple producers on the show to begin frantically attempting—in vain—to get the former real-estate mogul to stop calling Lil Jon an “Uncle Tom.” According to two sources from different departments on the production (speaking on the condition of anonymity due to strict non-disclosure agreements), one reason producers were freaked out was that comedian and talk-show host Arsenio Hall (who is also black) was a guest star on that episode, and had heard Trump refer to Lil Jon in the derogatory way.

Hall made his displeasure with the use of the term clear, and staff sprang into damage control.
“We kept trying to explain to [Trump] that that’s not a word you can use, that it’s offensive,” another Apprentice employee told The Daily Beast. “One of the executive producers had to call him up directly to [plead with] him not to say it, and Trump was like, ‘No, that’s a saying, it’s Uncle Tom.’ There are several takes in the footage of the dailies that has him trying to figure out the difference between ‘Uncle Tom’ and Uncle Sam. He just couldn’t grasp that it was offensive… When [Trump] decides he wants to do something, that’s his way.”
Another Apprentice staffer of several years who helped intervene in the “Uncle Tom mini-crisis,” as the source dubbed it, confirmed that “multiple producers had to try to instruct him” but that “somehow none of it stuck.”

“It was not like he was saying the n-word, or anything,” the staffer continued. “But I couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t just realize he was being offensive with that particular term!”

According to these staffers, the producers’ “Uncle Tom” advice was brushed off by a decidedly politically incorrect Trump for the rest of the shoot. This was, by the way, the same season of Celebrity Apprentice during which Trump told female contestant Brande Roderick that it “must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees.”

Publicists for Lil Jon and Hall did not respond to requests for comment on this story. The Daily Beast reached out to the Trump campaign for comment and within 12 minutes of receiving our inquiry, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks emailed back, “This is simply untrue.”
(In late 2012, an anonymous staffer shared a brief version of this story on the controversial gossip blog The Dirty but it was never corroborated until now.)


Stories like this are never going to end before the election.
