A few months ago, Summer Zervos came out with explosive allegations that when she was on television’s The Apprentice back in 2007, Donald Trump groped and kissed her against her will as well as thrusted his genitals at her in an act of petulance when she rebuffed his advances. Ms. Zervos announced today that she will be suing president-elect Trump for defamation.
Shortly before Election Day, Trump faced a barrage of sexual assault accusations from many women upon a bombshell video showing him boasting to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about grabbing women's genitals. Sumner Zervos, who appeared on season five of The Apprentice, was one of the accusers. At that time, Trump responded at a rally in Pennsylvania, "All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."
Trump never sued. But Zervos hasn't let go.
On Tuesday, she appeared alongside her attorney Gloria Allred at a press conference to announce the suit, said to be filed in New York.
Ms. Allred read from the lawsuit saying that when Donald Trump told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he had never done any of the things he bragged about in the infamous “grab her by the pussy” tape, he lied and defamed Ms. Zervos. Republicans across the board still seem “okay” with that by the way.
This is the beginning of the press conference with Gloria Allred.
