Alicia Machado was crowned Miss Universe by Donald Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in 1997. After winning the crown she gained some weight and Trump repeatedly humiliated her, publicly talking about her weight gain, even bringing reporters to watch her work out while he stood guard. She alleges he called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” and never paid her for all the commercial work she did while reigning Miss Universe. Listen to her describe her time with Donald Trump and how negatively it impacted her life long after:
“Long after, I was sick with eating disorders. I wouldn’t eat, and would still see myself as fat, because a powerful man had said so.”

And this morning, after Hillary Clinton mentioned Alicia Machado in the debate last night, the thin-skinned Donald Trump could not bring himself to be a decent human-being and let it go. No, he doubled-down, making nasty comments once again about Alicia Machado. Listen to his comments, you can even feel the Fox News hosts cringing from here:
Alicia shared this on Twitter yesterday. The Hollywood resident is proudly going to cast her vote for Hillary Clinton. Yuge! Strong strong, Alicia—don’t let the bully keep you down!
