Trump Accuser Summer Zervos Files Defamation Suit Against President-Elect
NBC News ^ | January 17, 2017 | Daniella Silva

Posted on 01/17/2017 3:50:22 PM PST by Pinkbell

A woman who previously accused Donald Trump of unwanted sexual advances has filed a defamation lawsuit against the president elect — just three days before Trump's presidential inauguration.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on the "The Apprentice," said in a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles on Tuesday that she filed the lawsuit over allegedly false statements Trump made in response to her accusation.

The suit, filed Tuesday morning, claims Trump knew his statements about Zervos and his other accusers would subject them to "threats of violence, economic harm and reputational damage."

Allred said Zervos would be willing to dismiss the lawsuit without any monetary damages if Trump agreed to retract his comments about her and admit that the accusations against him were in fact true.

"Ms. Zervos is willing to dismiss her lawsuit if he will retract his false statements about her and acknowledge that what Summer said about Mr. Trump and his alleged conduct is and was the truth," she said.

Zervos claimed in an October press conference that Trump sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions during a 2007 business meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

She said Trump made unwanted sexual advances toward her on multiple occasions during the meeting, kissing her on the lips, pressing himself against her and groping her breast and body without her consent.

Trump has vehemently denied the claims. In response to Tuesday's press conference, Trump's spokeswoman Hope Hicks provided the following statement to NBC News: "More of the same from Gloria Allred. There is no truth to this absurd story."

On the campaign trail, Trump said Zervos and his other accusers were liars, according to the lawsuit, and that she and the other women were motivated to come forward by the promise of "ten minutes of fame."

As soon as I saw who the attorney is Allred I knew that this suit is bogus stunt. Trump should sue Allred and try to have her license pulled and her accounts drained.

Whatever’s all red about her, it isn’t her neck.

Rednecks have far more sense than this. And far more empathy.

If she really cared about Summer? She’d sit Summer down and say honey, tell me true, did you dream this up. Men never ask women to watch “tele-tele” unless they’re gay. We know Donald is a hunk even though we hate his politics. In a weak moment I might swoon for Donald too, but we women’s libbers have our pride, don’t we? So why don’t you find some hunk on a singles board and we’ll all be happy and I won’t have to make a fool out of myself. OK?

It is, but I really see Summer’s fantasizing behind it. (Good thing she can’t also sue FR, but on the other hand I wouldn’t look like such a hunk to her. Oh, but I would almost wish for Gloria to try. I’d bitch slap her in words from California to the East Coast, for participating in this sick game with Summer.)

Am I along in seeing this as Sara Palin Redux, part 2?

Folks, count on this - this is only the START of BS lawsuits. They think they can tie Trump up is depositions, BS court appearances and so on.

Any thing to distract from

Drain the Swamp!

This gal will be very old before her whine ever sees the inside of a court room. Doubt she could rank even a little stipend to make her go away.

Aren’t most lawsuits against a President put on hold until after he finishes his term?

Without third party witnesses at the specific times of any event, everything becomes a she-said he-said impossible to prove, or disprove event. The winner in such circumstances in the real contest here - public opinion - is always the accuser, no matter that it is not proved in court.

SOOOO. Denying an allegation against you is now worthy of a lawsuit?

So I will make millions suing Harry Reid when I say, I have it on good authority he beats his wife” and he denies it?

When Gloria Allred dies, hopefully from a horrifically painful and drawn out chronic illness, I will open one of my finer bottles.
