CLEVELAND, Ohio – Former WWE superstar Eve Torres says Donald Trump “forcefully” grabbed her during a 2009 photo op with the company. Torres made the claim on her Instagram page Monday:
Happy Presidents Day.
I look forward to having a president who doesn’t grope or objectify women. I have taken pictures with thousands of men at military bases, at WWE events, and signings, and very few have grabbed me and pulled me in as forcefully as he did without knowing me. Of course, at the time I believed it was my job to be eye candy in a photo for this supposed billionaire, and play along. It is actually hard for me to see that photo because it reminds me of my beliefs about my worth at the time. Swipe to see what I mean. Swipe again for a brush up on Creepy Hug Defenses including the Inappropriate Photo Squeeze.
PS The pregnancy announcement is old so no I’m not pregnant again. Also, this was scary for me to post but it’s been on my mind. We haven’t forgotten about your p+$$y grabbing, Mr. President.
Torres included a photo from the alleged incident in her Instagram post. Trump is photographed with several WWE Divas, including Torres, The Bella Twins and Maria Kanellis, among others.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and his wife Linda have long been supporters of Trump and his organizations. Trump even appeared at WrestleMania 23 in 2007 and on an episode of Raw in 2009. WWE inducted Trump into its Hall of Fame in 2013.
Torres was a performer for WWE from 2007 to 2013 and has served as an ambassador ever since.
