and Marla Maples. Their post-divorce comments on their mutual ex-husband, Donald Trump, seem quite incongruous to expected sentiment. In Ivana's case, she sought a divorce due to the public humiliation of Donald going around with Marla Maples, his future second wife. In Marla's case, Donald said "You're fired" before they celebrated their five year wedding anniversary. Yet both women have been unduly supportive and dedicated to the asshole they used to call their husband after their respective divorces.
Case One: Ivana Trump, under oath in a deposition, states that her husband, Donald Trump, in a rage literally raped her after 16 months of abstinence and the next morning as she staggered into the bedroom, he mocked her, rhetorically asking "Does it hurt?"
And yesterday, Ivana issued these statement for "clarification":
"The story is totally without merit, she said in a statement Tuesday.
Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but fondness for Donald and wish him the best of luck on his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president. http://nypost.com/2015/07/29/ivana-trump-donald-didnt-rape-me-and-hed-be-a-great-president/
"Incredible"? Appears that Ivana is letting her ex-husband write her press releases. And do you really buy this gushing of an ex-wife who was the victim of domestic abuse and public humiliation?
Case Two: Marla Maples dedicated herself to become the next Mrs. Donald Trump. She followed him to his casinos in Atlantic City. She spent Christmas in Vail, Colorado at the same time that Donald was on the other side of town with Ivana, his wife, and his kids. Marla waited in hiding as her relationship with The Donald was plastered in New York tabloids. She even gave birth to his fourth child. And he married her with a prenup that Marla didn't particularly like. Donald "fired" Marla after 4+ years of marriage, allegedly because it was a good business decision. (Five years or longer would have cost him a significant amount of money if they divorced.) So Marla was relegated to the west coast as a single mother and not even eligible to appear on "Celebrity Apprentice". All she got was a modest lump sum of $1 million dollars and child support.
This is what Marla said about her ex-husband in 2013: "I still love Donald," she said in an interview on OWN's Oprah: Where Are They Now?, which aired Sunday. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20723536,00.html
She still loves Donald??!! After the way he dumped her? Watching Melania reign over the Trump household in Trump Tower?
My guess is that Donald Trump not only has a gag order on his ex-wives but has a provision that mandates that he be allowed to issue press releases in their names that laud him and give the impression that they are all one big happy family and he isn't a prick.

The New York state Supreme Court's Appellate Division ruled 5-0 that Ivana Trump may not talk about life with her ex-husband without his permission, reversing a lower court's ruling that removed the gag order from the Trumps' May 22, 1991, divorce decree
