Ex-Playboy Model Gives Account Of Affair With Trump, Apologizes To Melania 

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal spoke on camera for the first time about the 10-month affair she says she had with Donald Trump shortly after the birth of his youngest son, baring the relationship’s most intimate details and tracing its arc from the moment she first met the future president to what she says was her decision to end the romance later in an intensely personal interview broadcast on national television.

McDougal spoke about a physical relationship she says began in 2006, alleging Trump offered her money the first time they were intimate and choking up as she recounted the guilt she felt for being a party to an affair.

She reflected on the connection she developed with the “sweet” man she said she fell in love with and unflinchingly recounting some of the romance’s most salacious details.

She described the guilt she felt visiting the businessman’s Trump Tower apartment where he showed her a room he said was Melania’s, where “she likes to have her alone time or to get away to read, or something like that.”

“That’s when I thought maybe they’re having issues,” she said. “I couldn’t wait to get out … Doing something wrong is bad enough but when you’re doing something wrong and you’re in the middle of someone’s home or bed or whatever, that just puts a little stab in your heart.” “What can you say except I’m sorry,” she said. “I wouldn’t want it done to me.”
