BREAKING: Exposé Reveals Trump's DISGUSTING Comments to Teenage Girls
In 1991, Donald Trump was 45 years old. He co-hosted the Elite Model Management “Look of the Year” competition, one of the most prestigious modeling contests in the world. Contestants ranged in age from 14 to 19.
Video from that night recently resurfaced. In it, Trump’s comments about the participants are shocking, even for him.
The contestants he was describing included 14-year-old girls.
What the Guardian Investigation Found
In March 2020, the Guardian published a major investigation into Elite Model Management’s Look of the Year competition, based on interviews with several dozen former contestants and industry insiders, as well as 12 hours of previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage.
The investigation found that the competition’s founder, John Casablancas, and other men in his orbit used the contest to engage in sexual relationships with vulnerable young models, some of whom were teenagers. The Guardian described accounts ranging from sexual harassment to rape.
The investigation is explicit that no such allegations were leveled against Trump. But it is also explicit about what he was doing there, how long he had been in those circles, and what some of the women who encountered him remember.
What the Women Who Were There Remember
Trump’s presence at Elite events was not new in 1991. He had been a fixture in those circles for years.
Patty Owen, an Elle and Cosmopolitan cover star, recalls seeing Trump at Elite parties as far back as 1982. “He would always be at the bar. That’s where he would stay and that’s where all the new models would hang out,” she says. “Whenever I saw him, I was always like: why does John have to invite him?”
Barbara Pilling, also then an Elite model, told the Guardian that Trump asked her out for dinner in the summer of 1989 at an industry party. She recalls Trump asking how old she was. “I said 17 and he said, ‘That’s just great. You’re not too old, not too young.’”
She was 17. His response, in his own words, was that her age was just great.
One former contestant at the 1991 Look of the Year competition described being told to walk for Trump and the other men present that evening. She said she knew she was not doing it as part of the competition. She was doing it for their entertainment.
What the Competition Looked Like
According to the Guardian’s reporting, girls who had traveled from around the world to compete boarded a chartered boat called the Spirit of New York. The contestants, some as young as 14, danced under disco lights. Older men joined them on the dance floor. One man on film wrapped his arms around two young models and looked into the camera: “Can you get some beautiful women around me, please?”
Trump attended multiple events connected to the competition. He was not a passive guest. He was a host and a judge.
The Guardian asked two questions that have never been fully answered. Did Trump know that Casablancas and others were sleeping with contestants? And why would a man in his 40s, whose main business was real estate development, want to host a beauty contest for teenage girls?
His Own Admission About Pageants
The Look of the Year is not the only context in which Trump’s behavior around young female contestants has been scrutinized.
In a 2005 interview, Trump admitted to walking in on partially dressed pageant contestants, saying he could “get away with it” because he owned the competition. Multiple former Miss Teen USA contestants have alleged that Trump walked into their changing room without warning. Trump’s representatives later denied this. The admission, in Trump’s own words, is on tape.
Miss Teen USA. Contestants who were, by definition, minors.
Why This Is Newsworthy Now
The video resurfaced in July 2025, at the height of public attention on the Epstein files. John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Model Management who ran the Look of the Year competition, appears in a widely circulated 1989 photograph alongside Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump has spent much of his second term trying to manage public attention around the Epstein files, at one point calling the controversy a Democratic “hoax” and lashing out at supporters who kept pushing for more transparency. The Wall Street Journal published a profile of the Trump-Epstein relationship that included details Trump vehemently denied. He threatened to sue.
It is in that context that the 1991 video went viral.
What the Record Shows
To be precise about what is documented and what is not: no criminal allegations have been made against Trump in connection with the Look of the Year competition. The Guardian’s investigation did not allege that Trump abused anyone.
What the record does show is this. Trump attended Elite Model Management events featuring teenage girls for nearly a decade before co-hosting and judging the 1991 competition. Women who were there remember him as a regular presence around new and young models. When a 17-year-old model told him her age at an industry party, his recorded response was that she was not too old and not too young. He admitted in his own words to walking in on undressed teenage beauty pageant contestants and said he could get away with it. He has spent his second term trying to suppress public access to the files of a man convicted of sex trafficking minors, a man he once called “a terrific guy” who liked women “on the younger side.”
Those are not allegations. Those are facts in the public record, that Trump himself has admitted.
The women who were in those rooms have been trying to tell this story for years. They deserve to be heard.
