Teen Beauty Queens Say Donald Trump Walked in on Them Changing When They Were as Young as 15 [View all]

Former Miss Teen USA contestants say Trump walked in where contestants as young as 15 were dressing

At least four women who competed in a Miss Teen USA beauty pageant told BuzzFeed News that Donald Trump walked into their dressing room while the contestants as young as 15 were undressing.

Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, tells Buzzfeed that the now 70-year-old Republican presidential candidate caused a panic in the dressing room of the 1997 pageant when he barged in unannounced as the young women were changing.

However, she says Trump shrugged off the intrusion, saying something along the lines of: "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before."

Three other former teen beauty queens, who wished to remain anonymous, corroborated Billado's account. They recalled the girls hurrying to cover themselves, with one calling Trump's behavior "shocking" and "creepy."
