Former model Beatrice Keul says speaking publicly about her alleged sexual assault by President Donald Trump has left her fearing for her safety.
The 56-year-old former Miss Switzerland runner-up claims she received an anonymous phone call threatening her and her family after House Democrats released a report detailing her rape allegation against Trump.
“It was from the U.S. and clearly directed to me and my family if I continue to spread the word in America,” Keul told Newsweek.
She said the call arrived Tuesday, just 24 hours after the House Judiciary Committee Democrats published their findings concerning Trump’s alleged conduct and his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
Keul alleges Trump raped her in November 1993 after inviting her into a private suite at the Plaza Hotel during a beauty pageant.
“I went in, I looked left and I looked right—he jumped on me, he became a wild animal, I could not recognize him anymore,” she recalled to Newsweek, going on to allege that Trump subsequently threatened her silence and that she returned home to Switzerland afraid to speak about the encounter.
28th victim of Trump assault—testifies Epstein paid beauty pageant girls to attend parties at Mar-a-Lago—that he organized "with Don." Beatrice Keul: "Trump wanted ‘private meeting’ with me. He jumped on me and kissed my lips and neck. He was lifting my dress." "He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could. I think my height (she‘s 6′1″) was the only reason I escaped." "I was in a foreign country. I was scared that I could not go home, or I couldn’t come back. I was scared of everything, and when you’re scared, you do whatever it takes to save yourself." And she literally has the receipts—she recently discovered Trump’s invitation, airline tickets, and other documentation from her trip in a box while preparing to move. A longtime friend, Swiss writer Pascal Claivaz, also confirmed that she first told him about Trump assaulting her 20 years ago—and that her story has never changed. #DemsUnited

Keul first publicly accused Trump of groping her in 2024. She has since made more serious, unverified allegations.
Her attorney is now looking into the reported threatening call, according to Keul.
Meanwhile, the White House strongly disputes her account.
“None of these allegations are true,” spokesperson Lauren Bis said.
