Former Swiss Beauty Queen Accuses Trump of Groping Her
With less than a week before the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump is facing another serious accusation. This time, it’s a former pageant queen.
Beatrice Keul claims that Trump attempted to grab her “everywhere” when she accepted an invitation to go up to his New York suite in 1993. The 6’1 beauty queen alleged that her size saved her from his advances.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Plaza Hotel, which the former president owned at the time.
The 53-year-old, who is from Switzerland, claimed that she decided to come forward now due to discovering all of the documentation sitting in a box in her home in Zurich.
Pascal Claivaz, a Swiss writer and longtime friend of Keul, informed the Daily Mail that he found out about the incident 20 years ago and insisted that the details of her story haven’t changed.
Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for the Trump campaign, said that the accusations “are false.” She told the outlet that they are meant to serve as a distraction for Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, who has been accused of physically assaulting an ex-girlfriend, as Resist the Mainstream previously reported.
“Fake allegations like this are a disservice to women who are truly victims of assault, like the women in Doug Emhoff’s past,” said Leavitt.
Keul met Trump after she won second place in the Miss Switzerland pageant in 1992. She made it to the final round of the Miss Europe competition, which took place in Istanbul.
She received an invite for an all-expense-paid trip to New York and Atlantic City from the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant to participate in the competition.
Keul told the Daily Mail that as Trump made his rounds to meet the contestants, he showed an interest in her.
“He said, ‘Ah we finally meet, Miss Keul. How nice to meet you finally.’ He was definitely excited,’” she recounted. “He stayed a long time. We talked for so long that everybody was staring at us. A good 10 minutes if not 15. I couldn’t believe he was so fond of me.”
After a press lunch, Keul said that one of Trump’s staff members informed her that the billionaire wanted to meet with her privately. She told the outlet that she was led to one of the upper floors where Trump “jumped” on her.
“I thought Trump wanted to talk, as the other guy told me. I was confident, but I went with closed eyes,” said Keul. “When I entered, he jumped on me. I just had time to turn. I was not prepared. I tried to do what I could to get rid of him.”
“He kissed me on the lips and on the neck. He tried to lift my dress. He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could.”
Keul said that she tried to stop his advances and credited her height for saving her.
Keul’s accusations follow those made by Stacey Williams, a former model who also accused Trump of groping her in 1993. The Trump campaign also denied those allegations.
