Jennifer Hawkins has been dragged into the quagmire that is Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign, with a newly-resurfaced video that shows him publicly humiliating her at a corporate event in Sydney.
Trump appeared at the National Achievers Congress in October 2011, where he referenced the former Miss Universe during a keynote address, that touched on the very Trump-like topic of getting revenge on your enemies.
“Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe that,” he said to the cheering audience of presumptive achievers, some of whom paid a cool $1200 to be there and have lunch with him afterwards.
“I’ll give you an example: Jennifer Hawkins,” he continued. “Where’s Jennifer? Where’s she sitting? Get over here, Jennifer.” He proceeded to tell the audience about his plan to get even with Hawkins, because of a misunderstanding the previous day.
He said:
“I was so angry at her yesterday. Seriously, as I said, I thought that she dissed me. I thought that my Jennifer – I’m going around saying she’s my favourite Miss Universe, but I think I like the new one better, Jennifer. So I go around saying she’s the greatest … then when I came here, there was no Jennifer Hawkins to introduce me.”
Hawkins insisted that there’d been a miscommunication of some sort, but Trump took the mic back and continued:
“I was actually going to get up and tell you that Jennifer is a beautiful girl on the outside, but she’s not very bright. That wouldn’t have been true, but I would have said it anyway … Because I said, ‘You know what, it would be great. I haven’t seen Jennifer in a couple of years. She’s so great and she did so well, and she’s a big star here, and I helped her make it – I own the Miss Universe pageant. And I heard that she wouldn’t introduce me.’”
He then went on to make sexual innuendos about Hawkins, before she asked if she could take a seat.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been called out for his conduct around women, and it’s not even the first time he’s behaved disgustingly around a Miss Universe winner, mocking Alicia Machado about her weight and calling her ‘Miss Piggy’.
