It’s no secret Donald Trump enjoys the perks of a job — and apparently, Miss Teen USA is no exception!
According to BuzzFeed News, four women who competed in the 1997 teen beauty pageant said Trump walked into the dressing room as the contestants were changing.

Former Miss Vermont Teen USA Mariah Billado said:
“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ├óΓé¼╦£Oh my god, there’s a man in here.'”
After he allegedly entered the area where contestants — some as young as 15 years old — were changing, Billado recalled Trump said something like:
“Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”
What!? So repugnant!
Three other women, who asked to remain anonymous, also remembered the business mogul entering the dressing room — two of which said the girls rushed to cover their bodies, with one calling it “shocking” and “creepy.”
Out of the 51 contestants who competed in that pageant, BuzzFeed was able to contact 15 women — none of whom accused Trump of saying anything sexually explicit or grabbing anything during the pageant.
11 of the interviewed contestants from that year don’t recall seeing the former pageant owner enter the changing area at all.

While some said it was possible he appeared while they weren’t in the room, most claimed that due to chaperones and security there was no way he could have been there.
Neither Trump’s campaign nor the Trump Organization has commented on the allegations, but the Republican presidential nominee has made no secret about invading the dressing rooms of beauty queens in the past.
In a 2005 interview with Howard Stern, Trump had bragged about the perks of owning the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA pageants, saying:
“I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed. No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. ├óΓé¼┬ª ├óΓé¼╦£Is everyone OK?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”
We guess this is just more of Trump’s “locker room talk” that’s really bordering on “Peeping Tom”-ery…

Billado thought of Trump’s invasion as “more of a pompous ├óΓé¼╦£I own this place’ rather than a perverted thing,” though she remembers telling a then 15-year-old Ivanka Trump, who cohosted the pageant, about the incident — to which she allegedly replied:
“Yeah, he does that.”
Yuck. Does she mean he does that at pageants? Or at home too???
Clearly, he’s done a lot more since then!
What do YOU think of these allegations?
