“How could a story go from Ivana accusing Trump of rape to her directly saying it didn’t happen?”
Her original accusation was during their divorce proceedings. People lie routinely during those. He said/She said.
Now that the divorce settlement is long since finalized, there is no more profit potential in such an allegation. But Donald still has lots of money she might sweet talk out of him, as mother of their children. If by some wild chance, she had a streak of gold digger in her.
They were married for 14 years and had three kids, so she may have softened up now that the heat of the divorce/custody battle is long over (1992). They must have some good memories together. He seems to have been good to them since the diviorce.
It sort of implies that the whole rape thing never happened.
People lie, especially during something like a divorce. Shocking, I know.
Ivana Trump in 1993
“During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me,” the Ivana Trump statement said. “On one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
