Trump Is Being Sued By One Of The Women Accusing Him Of Sexual Assault

A former contestant on ‘The Apprentice‘ who accused President-elect Donald Trump of sexual assault has filed a defamation lawsuit against him.

Summer Zervos, 41, alleges that Trump forced himself on her in 2007 during a meeting to discuss job opportunities at a Beverly Hills hotel, when he “began thrusting his genitals” as she fended off his advances.

The lawsuit alleges that:

“Ms Zervos was ambushed by Mr Trump on more than one occasion. Mr Trump suddenly, and without her consent, kissed her on the mouth repeatedly; he touched her breast; and he pressed his genitals up against her. Ms Zervos never consented to any of this disgusting touching. Instead, she repeatedly expressed that he should stop his in appropriate sexual behaviour, including by shoving him away from her forcefully, and telling him to “get real”. Mr Trump did not care, he kept touching her anyway.”

Zervos is one of several women who came forward to accuse Trump of sexual assault following the release of the infamous Access Hollywood tape.

At a news conference today – where she was joined by her lawyer, Gloria Allred – Zervos says that she was left with no option but to sue.

“Since Mr Trump has not issued a retraction, as I requested, he has therefore left me with no alternative but to sue him in order to vindicate my reputation,” she said.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump is a “liar and misogynist” who lied “to the country and to the world” about his behaviour and used “his national and international bully pulpit to make false factual statements to denigrate and verbally attack Ms Zervos and the other women who publicly reported his sexual assaults in October 2016.”

Trump has dismissed the multiple claims of sexual harassment against him as “false and ridiculous”, calling his accusers “sick” for making “phoney” claims.

He has vowed to sue his accusers for their allegations, but to date has not filed a lawsuit against any of the women.
