“What do you want? How much?”
Another woman for Trump to threaten to sue.
Adult-film star and sex educator Jessica Drake is the latest woman to accuse Donald Trump of moving on her sexually without consent. At a live Los Angeles press-conference Saturday with lawyer Gloria Allred, Drake accused the Republican presidential nominee of “uncontrollable misogyny, entitlement, and being a sexual assault apologist,” and claimed he kissed her and two other women without their consent upon meeting them in 2006. Drake also said Trump offered to pay her for sex.
According to Drake, she and the other women were invited by Trump back to his Lake Tahoe hotel suite after meeting him at a golf tournament. Once there, Trump allegedly grabbed each of them tightly and kissed them. Later, a Trump representative called and invited Drake back to the suite alone, she said, but she declined—after which Trump personally called to extend the invitation. “What do you want? How much?” Trump allegedly said before offering her $10,000, which she rejected.
Such a nice man.
I can hear it now. She is an adult film star and willingly went back to his house. So she “asked for it”. No. Neither of those things invalidate her right to choose who she kisses or has sex with. But that seems to be hard for many people (many of them otherwise liberal, tolerant people) to get their head around.
I’ve never heard anyone suggest that a man who flirts with a woman and then moves on owes the woman sex. Why not? If flirting is automatic consent, can’t women demand the same?
