Washington: Actress Salma Hayek has claimed that Donald Trump asked her out repeatedly when she had a boyfriend and when she turned him down he leaked a tabloid story about her. Hayek, 50, said the Republican presidential nominee was so scorned by her rejection of him that he planted a magazine story which claimed he would never date her because she was too short, the Daily Mail reported.
According to Buzzfeed, the Oscar-nominated actress, speaking in a Spanish radio programme El Show del Mandril on Saturday, said, “When I met that man, I had a boyfriend and he tried to get his friend to get my home telephone number. He got my number and he would call me to invite me out.
“When I told him I wouldn’t go out with him even if I didn't have a boyfriend, [which he took as disrespectful], he called — well, he wouldn’t say he called, but someone told the National Enquirer,” she continued. “Someone told the National Enquirer — I’m not going to say who, because you know that whatever he wants to come out comes out in the National Enquirer. It said he wouldn’t go out with me because I was too short.” She claims Mr Trump contacted her after the story was printed to dismiss it, in an attempt to lure her into a date to prove the magazine wrong. Meanwhile, an 11th woman has come forward to claim she was the victim of Mr Trump's sexual misconduct, the Mail reported.
