The second presidential debate was perhaps the one of the most bizarre and confusing of its kind. With both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both addressing some of the stains on their past, more recently the leaked video of Trump discussing his beliefs regarding sexual assault against women while wearing a hot mic. While many […]
When a video of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault was leaked in October 2016, the celebrity world aired their feelings across social media. We have compiled a list of the reactions. Have a look below! 1. Emmy Rossum Donald Trump thinks ‘when you’re a star’ you ‘can do anything’ to women? Well you can’t make me vote for you, you misogynistic entitled pig. 2. John Legend You don’t have to have daughters or granddaughters to find Trump’s comments repugnant. It’s an odd, unnecessary qualifier. 3. Patton Oswalt Holy sh*t. Trump might have just been defeated by a Bush. Never would’ve picked Billy, but I’ll take it. 4. Lisa Rinna Trump and Bush. Talking about Nancy O’dell and then Arianne Zucker who are both friends of mine. Vulgar and Disgusting. 5. Star Jones Honestly, if Trump ever mentions his ‘regard’ for women again…if I’m @HillaryClinton…I’d just say: ‘roll tape.’ 6. Seth MacFarlane Just read an article that quotes Trump saying ‘grab them by the pu**y’, and now I really wanna know what that word is they’re hiding. View Slideshow
Donald Trump has finally done it. He has finally issued a true, lengthy apology for something. Mostly, that is. Immediately after apologizing, he went ahead and dismissed the issue for which he was apologizing. Let’s take a look, shall we? Donald Trump Apologizes for Words About Women Trump released the above video on Friday night, hours after another video threatened to legitimately sink his campaign once and for all. It was posted online by The Washington Post and it was filmed in 2005. In this video, Trump is riding an Access Hollywood bus with then-anchor Billy Bush, on the way to the set of Days of Our Lives. Unaware his microphone was on and that he was being taped at the time, Trump bragged about how he recently tried to sleep with a married woman (later identified by the press as Nancy O’Dell). “I moved on her very heavily,” Trump tells Bush of O’Dell, explaining in gross detail: “In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’ “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t–s and everything. She’s totally changed her look.” That wasn’t all Trump said, however. At any point, he says he he can just “grab [women] by the pussy. You can do anything,” adding that he’ll have to pop some Tic-Tacs before speaking to soap opera actresses in case he simply starts kissing them. “I don’t even wait,” he tells Bush, presumably implying that he doesn’t wait for permission to kiss these women and saying: “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” Soon after the tape went public, Trump said the following: “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.” Perhaps realizing (after receiving even more backlash) that this was the lamest non-apology apology ever, Trump tried again in the video above. “I never said I’m a perfect person nor pretended to be someone that I’m not,” he begins in it. “I’ve said and done things I regret and the words released today on the more than decade-old video are one of them. “Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.” For Donald Trump, this is a pretty giant Mea Culpa. View Slideshow: Celebrities React: Donald Trump, Billy Bush Conversation Leaked But then he says that his words and actions in the scandalous footage aren’t actually a big deal. “This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today,” he says, going on to compare himself to his opponent and her husband: “Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground. I’ve said some foolish things, but there’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. “Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. Trump also urged voters to keep their focus on the “important issues we are facing today.” In conclusion: “I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down. See you at the debate on Sunday.” (NOTE: Yes, Trump somehow said he’ll be a better man… and that voters should focus on important, nationwide issues… while also saying he’ll bring up Bill Clinton’s affairs often in the next few days.) Bush, meanwhile, issued his own apology on Friday. It reads: “Obviously I’m embarrassed and ashamed. It’s no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago – I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I’m very sorry.” You can go ahead and watch the tape from 2005 below. You can decide whether Trump is the sort of man you want holding the most powerful and respected office in the world.

The married woman Donald Trump spoke of trying to f–k in a lewd 2005 video released yesterday has been identified as Nancy O’Dell. A woman who, it turns out, Trump tried to get fired two years later when she got pregnant and was co-hosting his Miss USA pageant. In a Friday-night segment on Access Hollywood, the program addressed Trump’s campaign scandal involving former host Billy Bush. The Republican presidential candidate was on the entertainment program as he prepared to film a cameo on the soap Days of Our Lives . Behind the scenes, Bush and Trump can be heard on a “hot” mic they didn’t know was recording them as they made very lewd comments. “There were seven other people on the bus with Mr. Trump and Billy Bush at the time,” host Natalie Morales said of the incident. A camera crew, Trump’s security guard and publicist were there, she said, and Nancy O’Dell is the unnamed woman Trump was referring to. The now-infamous recording in question appears below: Donald Trump & Billy Bush: Lewd Comments Caught on Video The Washington Post posted the tape yesterday. On it, the thrice-married, then 59-year-old Trump boasts of trying to f–k a married woman who he “moved on like a b-tch” only to be rebuffed. Bush and others laughed heartily as the real estate mogul described taking O’Dell furniture shopping and trying in vain to get in her pants. Ultimately, despite how hard he “tried to f–k her,” he just “couldn’t get there,” Trump laments. Hey, you win some, you lose some, right? Trump also boasted that when you’re a “star,” you can grope women (“grab them by the p-ssy” even), consequence-free. They let you! The fallout from this was so bad, even by Trump standards, that his presidential campaign – already on life support – did the unthinkable: Donald Trump Apologizes for Words About Women Last night, Trump apologized for the comments ! Granted, Billy Bush’s apology was more prompt and sincere, and Trump still qualified his by saying it’s not that big of a deal in the end. He also threw in the quasi-defense that Bill Clinton is an even bigger pig anyway, which is both dubious and not really relevant here. Still, a mea culpa from Donald at all is notable. It remains to be seen if he can weather the storm in time to pull off an election upset of Hillary Clinton, but this story is far from over. In fact, it continues to snowball by the hour. O’Dell, who Trump later said changed her look and opted for “the big phony ti-s and everything,” crossed paths with him two years later. In a surprising revelation (or maybe not surprising), he apparently took issue with her in a professional context because of her appearance. The TV personality was named the host of the 2007 Miss USA pageant by NBC, despite the concerns of Trump, who owned the event. The businessman tried, but ultimately failed at having her removed from her contracted post because he was dismayed by her baby bump. According to insiders, Trump didn’t want a pregnant woman hosting the show, but because of O’Dell’s contract with NBC, failed to oust her. O’Dell, 50, gave birth to her daughter Ashby that year; Nancy and second husband Keith Zubchevich have been married since 2005. Prior to that marriage, the current Entertainment Tonight co-host was married to her first husband, Dr. Richard O’Dell, from 1994-2004. It’s unclear when Trump’s advances took place.

“While a wide range of Donald Trump’s interests have been on display this primary cycle (terrorism, military spending, immigration reform),” Vanity Fair noted last January, “we’ve heard less about another particular fascination of his: women and weight.” That is now open to debate. … read more
Hey, are you tired of hearing about Tori Spelling and the state of her uterus yet? Well, buck up, buttercup, because we’re in this thing for the long haul. It was just this week that Tori and her husband, Dean McDermott, announced that they’re expecting their fifth baby , so we’re going to be hearing about this baby for the next several months, at least. Settle in. It’s going to get obnoxious in here. It’s not that we don’t wish Tori and her family the best, obviously, it’s just that sometimes Tori and Dean make it hard to like them. Take, for instance, Dean’s now-infamous affair . The thing happened three years ago, and in the interview they gave this week about the pregnancy, they’re still going on about how great it was that Dean cheated on Tori and how much it helped their marriage, like none of us understand how ridiculous that sounds. “We made the conscious decision,” Tori explained, “based on our love for each other to tough it out and work through it. It was one of the worst times in our lives, but it was also one of the best times.” “One of the best times,” honestly? Because, and this brings us to our next point, Tori and Dean did a little reality show after the news of Dean’s affair broke , and it was absolutely atrocious. It was an entire show of Tori and Dean screaming and crying and fighting, and they also had the bright idea to feature their young children on the show. Throw in all the reports of Tori’s crippling debt and her insistence on spending money at every turn — as well as her insistence on having baby after baby while she’s so strapped for cash — and it should be easy to see why we’re not her biggest fans. And hey, you know who else isn’t all that fond of Tori? Dean’s ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace. If you’ll remember, Dean cheated on Mary Jo with Tori back in 2005 and ultimately left her for Tori, so Mary Jo’s always had reason to dislike her. Earlier this year, the ladies were finally able to make up, but now, it seems like things aren’t going so well. According to a new report from Radar, Tori and Dean never told Mary Jo about the pregnancy. She “had no idea Tori was pregnant again,” a source claims, and she found out when the rest of us did. And that, apparently, greatly upset Mary Jo. She’s also upset about the family’s financial situation: the source adds that she “is disgusted by them and their wild spending.” “Disgusted” sounds like a strong word, but if someone that close to Tori and Dean feels that strongly, then maybe they should reconsider their choices. Every last one of them.
Another day, another reminder that Donald Trump is the most absurd and vile presidential candidate in 240 years of American sovereignty. This one comes to us in the form of shocking new footage obtained by the Washington Post which captures an incredibly lewd conversation between Trump and Access Hollywood host Billy Bush that took place on the set of Days of Our Lives in 2005. Donald Trump & Billy Bush: Lewd Comments Caught on Video Trump was touring the set in preparation for a cameo on the famous soap – a situation that raises a slew of questions by itself – but we promise that’ll be the last thing on your mind after you watch this footage: If you’re not in the mood to kick off your weekend by vomiting in your mouth, here are some highlights which may be easier to digest in written form. Mind you, these are all direct quotes spoken by one of the two major-party candidates for President of the United States: “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married.” “I did try and f–k her. She was married.” “Just kiss. I don’t even wait,” he added, noting that “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.” “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” The footage was shot just months after Trump married his third and current wife, Melania Knauss. Of course, new revelations about the Donald’s long history of objectifying women seem to surface literally every day now. (Just yesterday we learned of allegations that Trump tried to sleep with Robin Givens while she was married to Mike Tyson.) Still, this footage is shocking even by Trump standards. In keeping with his M.O., Trump didn’t wait to consult with his team, and instead issued a response on his own via Twitter: “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago,” Trump tweeted. “Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.” Not surprisingly, many on social media have expressed the opinion that Trump’s comments go far beyond the boundaries of “locker room talk.” After all, the real estate mogul appears to be boasting about an act of sexual assault. And by refusing to apologize and attempting to deflect blame onto his opponent’s husband, Trump may have dug himself an even deeper hole. The timing couldn’t be worse for the Trump campaign which is already ailing following a hellish two weeks. Most notably, the revelation that Trump lost nearly $1 billion in 1995 and may have gone 18 years without paying any federal income tax has not helped his cause. Prior to that, Trump turned in what’s been described as a disastrous performance in his first debate with Hillary Clinton , and he made his situation worse the next morning. That day, and throughout the ensuing week, he continued to engage in a bizarre attack against Venezuelan actress Alicia Machado . Will any of this affect Trump’s standing in the polls? View Slideshow: 20 Times Donald Trump Proved He Hates Women Bizarrely, probably not, as his supporters seem to have decisively made up their minds long ago. On the flip side, he currently trails in the polls, albeit narrowly, and likely needs to expand that base in order to actually win the presidency. To wit, you can bet that Clinton campaign will happily use this damaging footage as ammo during the candidates’ second debate this Sunday night.
C’mon, you didn’t really think you’d get through a day without a new report of Donald Trump being a sexist douche bag, did you? The latest comes to us from the set of The Apprentice , a show from the time when “rich guy from the ’80s who yells a lot” was still a funny character and not a daily reminder that one of our major-party presidential candidates is an all-caps YouTube comment come to life. Understandably, Trump prefers to focus on the portion of his career during which he slapped his name on a bunch of things with big gold letters rather than the period of time when he was best known for sh-t canning people on TV. Now we may know a bit more about why that is. The Associated Press recently interviewed 20 staffers and contestants from The Apprentice and naturally, they asked about the Donald’s behavior on set . You may want to sit down for this: It turns out … he was a complete asshat! We know. You’re astonished. “We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task,” recalled one former producer, “and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, ‘You’d f–k her, wouldn’t you? I’d f–k her. C’mon, wouldn’t you?'” In fairness, Trump is hardly the first presidential candidate to let his little head do the thinking, but the JFKs and the Bill Clintons of the world have the decency to do their objectifying (mostly) behind closed doors! Of course, by Trump standards, the comments above are downright tame. So naturally things get much, much worse from there: Eight crewmembers say Trump repeatedly commented on a particular camera woman’s backside, “comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka.” If you didn’t just throw up in your mouth a little, go back and read that sentence again. According to former contestant Gene Folkes, during the filming of the show’s first season, Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter skirts and reveal more cleavage. Randal Pinkett, who won his season of the show in 2005, commented that Trum would openly discuss which women on set he’d like to sleep with, even though he had just married Melania Knauss the year prior. A producer named Katherine Walker says she was frequently made uncomfortable by comments Trump made about the other women on the show’s staff. She recalls multiple incidents in which Trump speculated about which women would “tigers in bed.” So yeah, long before he body-shamed Kim Kardashian … Before he tweeted about Alicia Machado’s non-existent sex tape … View Slideshow: 20 Times Donald Trump Proved He Hates Women Donald Trump was still a misogynistic jackass Of course, this latest revelation will cost him exactly zero votes, because as Trump himself once observed, he could gun someone down in broad daylight and not lose any support. In fact, just in the past 48 hours Trump made a truly despicable comment about veterans suffering from PTSD, and we learned there’s a good chance he hasn’t paid taxes in 18 years . So really, a little old school sexism might be a welcome distraction for his campaign.
