Marla Maples Urged Mother to Keep Teen Daughter from Donald Trump
In a troubling revelation from the 1990s, Marla Maples, the former wife of Donald Trump, reportedly urged a mother to keep her teenage daughter away from Trump. This warning occurred during a turbulent period when Trump hosted lavish parties at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Details of the Warning
According to a report from The New York Times, the incident involved 14-year-old Tina Davis, a model signed with Ford Models. Her mother, Sandra Coleman, described how Tina and several other young models were invited to a party in late 1994, where they were encouraged to “dress sexy.” Coleman noted that many of the girls were quite young, with some being almost in training bras.
Concerning Environment at Mar-a-Lago
At the Mar-a-Lago party, the models were excessively offered champagne and approached by older men. Coleman took it upon herself to introduce herself as Tina’s mother whenever someone approached her daughter. The situation escalated when Coleman encountered Marla Maples in the restroom.
- Maples warned Coleman: “Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, especially my husband.”
- Maples, now 62, has denied making this statement, suggesting she would protect young women but did not specifically comment on Trump.
Background on Trump and Maples
Marla Maples married Donald Trump in 1993, shortly after the birth of their daughter, Tiffany. Their marriage followed Trump’s public affair with Maples while he was still married to his first wife, Ivana. Epstein was notably present at their wedding.
- Trump and Maples divorced in 1999.
- In 2005, Trump married Melania Trump.
Epstein’s Influence and Friendship with Trump
Jeffrey Epstein frequently attended Trump’s parties during the 1990s, leading to a long-standing friendship between the two. Reports indicate that both men seemed to compete for the attention of young women.
The parties at Mar-a-Lago were characterized by open bars, with no checks on IDs for the guests. One former model recounted that Trump was often very engaged with the attendees, adding to the worry surrounding the nature of these gatherings.
Recent Developments
While Trump has maintained his innocence regarding any wrongdoing, the shadow of his association with Epstein looms large. Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution, died under suspicious circumstances in 2019 while in custody for sex trafficking charges.
As Congress prepares to release the Department of Justice’s investigative files on Epstein, many are left questioning the extent of Epstein’s connections with influential figures like Trump.
