Melania Trump denies Epstein ties amid Ungaro
threats
First Lady Melania Trump issued a rare,
unscheduled White House statement denying any association with Jeffrey Epstein,
calling the allegations baseless. The remarks came just hours after Brazilian
model Amanda Ungaro, an ex-partner of Trump ally Paolo Zampolli, posted a
series of public threats and legal warnings toward Melania on X. While no
verified link between Ungaro’s posts and Melania’s decision has been
established, the timing has fueled intense speculation and renewed public
scrutiny.
Ungaro’s escalating accusations on social media
Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model and ex-partner
of Trump ally Paolo Zampolli, issued a series of increasingly aggressive posts
on X targeting Melania Trump. She alleged a two-decade acquaintance, threatened
to expose 'hidden connections,' and vowed legal action, accusing Melania and
her husband of misconduct. Ungaro’s claims, which include past ICE detention
and alleged abandonment, have not been independently verified but quickly went
viral, intensifying public intrigue.
Melania Trump’s rare and forceful denial
In an unplanned White House appearance, Melania
Trump categorically denied any friendship or association with Jeffrey Epstein
or Ghislaine Maxwell, calling circulating claims 'completely false.' She
acknowledged occasional social overlap but stressed she never visited Epstein’s
properties or flew on his plane. Emphasizing her advocacy for victims, she
urged Congress to hold hearings for survivors to testify publicly, framing the
allegations as politically motivated smears.
The close timing between Ungaro’s threats and
Melania’s denial has led to speculation that the First Lady sought to get ahead
of potential damaging claims. While no major outlet has confirmed a direct
connection, the narrative has gained traction online, merging separate
controversies involving Epstein and Ungaro’s immigration and legal troubles.
Some White House insiders reportedly questioned the need for the statement,
noting the Epstein story had largely faded from headlines.
From modeling networks to political entanglements
Ungaro’s background ties her to elite modeling
circles and political figures, including Zampolli, who introduced Melania to
Donald Trump. She has described flying on Epstein’s plane at age 17, arranged
by agent Jean-Luc Brunel, and later moving in Trump-world social circles. Her
contentious split with Zampolli, subsequent legal issues, and deportation have
intertwined personal grievances with high-profile political narratives,
amplifying the stakes of her public feud with Melania.
