A former Playboy model on Tuesday sued the company that owns the National Enquirer so she could break her silence about an alleged affair she claims she had with President Trump.

Karen McDougal is suing American Media Inc., which paid her $150,000 for her story about the alleged affair and then withheld it from publication, The New York Times reports.

McDougal, whose lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that she was misled by American Media Inc. and her lawyer at the time about the deal.

She also said in the lawsuit that she was warned by the media company after the spoke with The New Yorker last month that "any further disclosures would break Karen's contract" and "cause considerable monetary damages," according to the Times.

McDougal's current lawyer, Peter Stris told the newspaper in an email that American Media Inc. carried out a "multifaceted effort to silence" his client.

“The lawsuit filed today aims to restore her right to her own voice,” he said. “We intend to invalidate the so-called contract that American Media Inc. imposed on Karen so she can move forward with the private life she deserves.”

“Why are all of these stories coming out now?”

Because the Russia coup is running out of steam and it's still 7 months until the midterms.

If he had really balls, he wouldn’t have dodged the draft or paid off so many women to keep his hypocrisies secret.

It's not your problem. I agree. However, his behavior has been so common place and egregious for so long that now it's easy to bog him down in the same type of legal problems Bill Clinton had. That makes it a problem for the conservative movement even if it's now a movement untroubled by shameless behavior. And it's pure hypocrisy for many of those who say Clinton's womanizing was wrong to now say Clinton's pal Trump's is okay because he switched parties to become a Republican. Trump defended Bill Clinton throughout the Paul Jones affair. By the way, so many want to say Trump gets a pass on his bad behavior because he wasn't president yet. Well, Clinton wasn't president when he sexually harassed Paul Jones either. And by the time that was over Clinton was rightly disbarred and fined nearly a million dollars. Some Freepers may recall. Character does matter. It's not just for pastors.

It appears you see no difference between (alleged) possibly hitting on a hot chick in day to day activities as a private individual, something most single men do, or wish they did, oh, and many married men, it seems, --vs--a governor of the state dropping his trousers in front of a staff worker and asking her to kiss it.

Your anti Trump posts and comments speak for themselves, always have.

They speak volumes about you.

So what? I plan on doing exactly what the Democrats did - - - NOTHING!

If you are Good Wrestler, and up against a Bad Wrestler who whacks you over the head with a folding metal chair when the referee isn’t looking, what do you do??

Apparently, you would advocate the Good Wrestler continue to get clobbered, because hitting people with folding metal chairs is against Wrestling Rules.

I say “Screw the rules!”, the Good Wrestler should pick up a chair, and clobber him back! Might he not get as many Stars in His Crown in Heaven??? I could care less.

The allegations are not "hitting on." They run the gamut from physical assault, consensual relationships, to defamation of character. I'm pretty sure you can look it up if you wish. You can attack me all you wish. I was never on who was friends with Bill Clinton, like Trump was. I never gave Hillary Clinton money.

If President Trump didn't care about any of this, why does he campaign with Evangelicals and feign a putative interest in Christian values? Why did he pay the hush money if not of it's true?

Hedonism and narcissism are not conservative values. It's too bad that Trump has confused so many people on this matter.

You STILL trying to bring Trump down?

For that matter, you STILL on Free Republic?

I understand that turning a blind eye to Bill Clinton’s behavior was a Democrat Party approach. Conservatives howled when it went on and now many think it will work with the former Bill Clinton defender and friend, President Trump. Putting loyalty to a man over loyalty to the truth is a mistake that will do serious and long term harm to the conservative movement. Recent election results (Alabama Senate race and P-18 in Pennsylvania) show that the growth of the conservative movement has, at best, peaked. All of these gratuitous scandals do not help bring the focus back to the priorities that strengthen our country. Character matters. Morals matter. Whoever says otherwise is ignoring thousands of years of evidence and simply being an opportunist at best and a hypocrite at the worst.

I cannot bring Trump down, but he seems to be doing that. Thanks for your concern.

[Penelope Dreadful]

Then you should go and start a new party! Call it the Sunbeam Party! Here is a theme song for you:

I cannot bring Trump down,

Yeah you can. You and the rest of the liberal Democrats and globalists.

Why are you on this forum?

but he seems to be doing that.

No he isn't. Despite all of your best efforts, Russiagate has pretty much fizzled, and all you are left with is the POSSIBILITY he slept with some chicks.

Why are you on this forum?

Thanks for your concern.

My concern is, why are you on this forum?

Unless the trajectory changes and we find that Trump has been honest all along, highly unlikely considering the perjury charges to many close to him and other proven lies, we’ll need to rebuild the conservative movement that was hijacked by Trump and other fake conservatives. The foundation will not based on Trumpism. It will be based on timeless truths.

Trump bangs only hot chicks unlike Bill Clinton.

[Stepan12]

Tell me about it. Trump banged hot chicks. I shoulda voted for Hillary.

Yeppers.... Because Trump may have slept with a hot whore, I guess I should have voted for Hillary and Biden, too. Nevermind Pres. Trump moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Moving the embassy does not meet with Ann Coulter's approval, but it sure meets with mine.
