Former ‘Apprentice’ contestant Summer Zervos was not silent about her claims Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in 2007 — this according to her friend and her attorney, Gloria Allred.
Allred held a news conference to defend her client against critics attempting to poke holes in her story. She was joined by Ann Russo – a social worker and close friend of Zervo — who said Summer told her of Trump’s aggressive sexual behavior back in 2010. Russo strongly defended Zervos … and offered an interesting explanation as to why she took so long to go public with her accusations.
As we’ve said … Trump has denied the alleged incident.
Allred also attempted to discredit Zervos’ cousin, John Barry — who claims Summer praised Trump — by trotting out text messages she says he sent to Summer … including one where he calls himself a “loser.”
