In a stunning new interview, former model Stacey Williams has come forward with detailed allegations that she was sexually groped by Donald Trump in his Trump Tower office in 1993—while the former president carried on a casual conversation with Jeffrey Epstein just feet away.
Williams, who was 25 at the time, told her story publicly on The Daily Beast Podcast, recounting what she described as a surreal and deeply disturbing encounter that unfolded “in plain sight,” with no attempt by Trump or Epstein to conceal the behavior.
According to Williams, the moment occurred during what was supposed to be a casual walk down Fifth Avenue with Epstein, whom she had been dating casually. Epstein, she said, suggested they stop by Trump’s office—something he reportedly did often, given his close relationship with the real estate mogul at the time.
“I knew how close they were. Donald was ever-present in Jeffrey’s conversations,” Williams said. “I didn’t think twice about it.”
But once inside Trump Tower, things took an unexpected and deeply troubling turn.
“Donald came out of his office and just started groping me,” Williams recounted. “He’s moving his hands up and down my body while smiling at Jeffrey. And Jeffrey smiled back. The two of them just kept talking like nothing was happening.”
The model said she was frozen in place—not because she didn’t know how to react, but because of how bizarre and brazen the moment was.
“Everything Donald does is hidden in its brazenness,” she explained. “He does it right out in the open, and people convince themselves it can’t be happening because it’s so wrong, and yet he’s doing it right there, so… it must not be real. But it was.”
Williams had earned a reputation in the modeling world for standing up to inappropriate behavior by photographers and agents. Her reaction that day, she says, underscores how unsettling the encounter truly was.
“For me to freeze… you know how masterful he is, in a way, to pull that off,” she said.
The story didn’t end at Trump Tower. Once back outside, Williams says Epstein turned on her in anger.
“He had a really enraged look on his face,” she recalled. “And then he just yelled at me: ‘Why did you let him do that?’”
She says the incident marked the end of her brief relationship with Epstein—who, she noted, exhibited increasingly disturbing behavior during their time together, including subtle threats and claims that he had filmed her nude without her knowledge.
Williams says the experience haunted her for years, but she didn’t fully process it until the rise of the #MeToo movement, which pushed her to “connect the dots” and come forward.
She first made the allegations public in 2024, on a campaign call organized by Survivors for Kamala, a group of women supporting then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris. At the time, the Trump campaign swiftly denied the claims, dismissing them as politically motivated.
“These accusations, made by a former Obama activist and timed just before an election, are unequivocally false,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said last October.
Now, in a more detailed public setting, Williams is laying out the full account—one that adds yet another disturbing chapter to Trump’s long and documented history of sexual misconduct allegations. According to The Guardian, more than two dozen women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct over several decades. In 2023, a jury found Trump liable for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s.

Williams, now 57, also revealed that Trump sent her a postcard later in 1993 with an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago. Scrawled in black Sharpie: “Stacey—your home away from home. Love, Donald.” Trump’s team later denied the handwriting was his.
Williams said she hopes telling her story now will empower others—and shed light on what she calls “a long pattern of predatory behavior hidden in plain sight.”
As scrutiny intensifies over Trump’s past, especially in light of renewed attention to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the ongoing fight in Congress over the release of Epstein-related documents, Williams’ story offers a chilling reminder: some of the most powerful men in America operated in a system where accountability was nearly nonexistent.
“People always say, ‘Why didn’t you say something then?’” Williams reflected. “But the question they should be asking is: Why did they feel so safe doing it?”
