Beatrice Keul, a former beauty queen and European model, alleges Donald Trump sexually assaulted her during a private meeting after inviting her to compete in one of his pageants. Keul says Trump warned her to keep quiet, and she also claims Jeffrey Epstein ap
Beatrice Keul says the evening she thought would be a break landed like a trap.
The former beauty queen. now 55. alleges she was invited to the United States to compete in one of Donald Trump’s pageants. the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant, following her pageant successes in Europe. She claims that after agreeing to what she described as a “private meeting” with Trump at the Plaza Hotel. the businessman “jumped on her. ” kissed her and tried to lift her dress.
Keul, who says the encounter began when Trump was 47 and she was 23, claims it was both sudden and violent. “He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could,” she alleged, telling The Daily Beast’s Substack publication, PunchUp. “It was violent, it was quick, it was intense. I was screaming for help, and nobody came. It was bad.”.
After the alleged assault, Keul says Trump shifted from force to pressure. She claims Trump threatened her to keep quiet, telling her that “otherwise, bad things would happen.”
“He threatened me. He clearly told me that I must keep quiet… otherwise, bad things can happen,” Keul alleged, adding that she took his warning as a threat to her personal safety.
Keul says she was frightened and alone in a foreign country. “Promised him that I was going to keep quiet,” she said. She also claims Trump brushed her away and later told her, calmly, “The show must go on.”
Keul further claimed, “At this moment, I realized this was not his first try.”
She says the day did not end with just one powerful figure.
Keul claims that same day, she was approached by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who introduced himself as Trump’s “best friend.” According to Keul, Epstein told her she was meant to be his “prey.”
“Straight away he told me, ‘I’m Don’s best friend’, so I trusted him,” Keul said about Epstein. “He was trying to invite me to a dance party at Mar-a-Lago in Florida and trying to convince me to come, saying, ‘I will take care of you.’”
Keul alleges Epstein offered to cover her travel and accommodation costs and painted a picture of luxury, connections, and parties at Mar-a-Lago. “He said, ‘You don’t have to worry. Flights, hotels, I’ll sort everything, just come because Don likes you. We organize lots of parties at Mar-a-Lago.’”
But she says her comfort quickly disappeared. “I became very suspicious,” she told the outlet. “I didn’t like the way he talked to me. He was very slimy. He wasn’t my type at all.”
Trump has denied all assault allegations against him.
Keul is among at least 28 women who have publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct over the years. Trump has denied the allegations against him, calling them “unequivocally false,” and he has also said he has never met some of his accusers.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson has defended the president regarding his connection to Epstein. In a statement. she said. “Just as President Trump has said. he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein. ” adding that he “has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”.
