October 13: Miss
USA Contestant Details Unwanted Encounters With Trump
As a flood of new allegations against Donald Trump emerged Wednesday, one of the
women who says he approached her inappropriately told NBC News about two
encounters similar to the behavior Trump boasted about in a now-notorious 2005
hot-microphone video.
Temple Taggart McDowell, who represented Utah as a 21-year-old in the 1997 Miss
USA pageant in Shreveport, La., said Wednesday night that she was introduced to
Trump during a rehearsal by her father, who was a fan of Trump's.
"It was at that time that he turned to me and embraced me and gave me a kiss on
the lips," McDowell said.
Later, McDowell said, Trump offered to help her get contracts with elite
modeling agencies, and during a visit to Trump Tower in Manhattan at Trump's
invitation, he again embraced and kissed her on the lips, this time in front of
two pageant chaperones and a receptionist.
The New York encounter made one of the chaperones so "uncomfortable" that she
advised McDowell not to go into any rooms with Trump alone, McDowell said. The
other chaperone accompanied her into Trump's office, she said.
Trump, who was married to Marla Maples at the time of the alleged encounters,
strongly disputed McDowell's claim Wednesday night, telling NBC News that he
couldn't remember her.
"I don't even know who she is," said Trump, who owned the pageant from 1996 to
2015. "She claims this took place in a public area. I never kissed her. I
emphatically deny this ridiculous claim."
After the Times article appeared in May, "I went into hiding, and I denied every
interview request," McDowell said. "I just told people: 'I'm a mom. This is my
life. I just really want my life to go back to normal.'"
But then came last week's disclosure of the 11-year-old "Access Hollywood"
behind-the-scenes video, in which Trump can be heard lewdly discussing how
he could approach women he found desirable.
The lesson she now passes on to her children is this: "If anybody ever makes you
feel uncomfortable or if anybody ever does anything to you that isn't right, you
do what you feel is right.
"You have the right to say no. You have the right to get out of there. You have
the right to leave, and you have the right to make them feel uncomfortable if
they're making you feel uncomfortable," she said.
