'Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed,' Trump said.
And Trump himself even proudly told Howard Stern that he can 'get away with' going backstage into the contestants' dressing rooms. Just a few days ago, BuzzFeed shared another story about Trump walking in on naked (adult) contestants at the 2000 Miss USA pageant. The girls who recalled the incident described it as 'creepy' and 'shocking.'īut perhaps the most disturbing part of this story is that it's actually not shocking at all anymore. One woman, who was 17 at the time of the incident, explained, 'At the time, you’re a teenager, you’re intimidated - it’s Donald Trump, he runs the pageant.' She added that she felt like it was Trump's right to enter the room, since he 'owned' the pageant. She said that Trump announced his presence by saying something to the effect of, 'Don't worry ladies, I've seen it all before.' BuzzFeed spoke to several of the participants in the 1997 pageant, and while some don't remember seeing Trump at all, others vividly recall the startling feeling of seeing a man come into a room where no men were allowed entry.
Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, told BuzzFeed that she noticed a man come into their dressing room and she put on her dress quickly to cover up.
