Karen McDougal's message to Melania Trump: 'I'm sorry'

However, McDougal reiterated she never accepted money for sex, only for her expenses to meet Trump. Surely if Melania was watching this interview, she was filled with joy and relief and everything felt okay, because she said those beautifully heartfelt words of apology to the woman whose marriage she has taken part in destroying beyond recognition. "It must have been so sad".

McDougal said she met Trump in 2006 at a Playboy Mansion party celebrating the taping of an "Apprentice" episode. I think she said, about 15 months or so, and she has diaries in which she marked the days that she spent or saw him or the evenings that she spent with Donald Trump. Karen told Anderson they had a "real relationship", adding, "He always told me he loved me".

McDougal initially sold her story about the alleged Trump affair to tabloid newspaper The National Enquirer for AU$194,000 in August 2016.

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has opened up about her affair with United States president Donald Trump and said that it was guilt that ultimately led her to end the relationship. "I'm not that kind of girl, '" she recounted. I'm not that kind of girl.' To which he responded, 'You're really special'.

In 2016 the model is said to have signed a non-disclosure agreement, barring her from discussing her alleged affair, however, she is now suing the President in an attempt to free herself from the legal agreement.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the contract drawn up by publisher American Media Inc. did not require the story to be published, and compelled McDougal to remain silent. She told Cooper she had multiple sexual encounters with Trump in a relationship that lasted more than a year. I'm not out to make money on this.

'I couldn't wait to get out of the apartment, actually.

"He once told me that I was someone to be reckoned with, handsome and smart just like his daughter", she explained.

President Donald Trump's personal life continues to cloud his presidency.

Karen reveals she was likened to the President's daughter, Ivanka.

"I do remember him saying, he came in one day and he said, 'Oh there were a bunch of porn stars out there".

After they had sex, she alleged, he had offered her money.

But the company denied to CNN that its deal with McDougal silenced her. "I was just feeling so guilty", she said. I got home and I was crying a lot.

"You've seen the other stories about him, it didn't hurt him". But AMI never published anything about the alleged affair.

Karen says Trump took her in the "back entrance" to Trump Tower, telling her the employees "wouldn't say anything". "She's attractive. She's, you know, that's his daughter, and he should be proud of her".

Post the interview, we tried coming in touch with the White House but they denied any comment on the same. "I thought I was the only one".
