'That c*nt woman from the airplane': Accuser Jessica Leeds reveals her first entanglement with Trump

During an interview with Megyn Kelly, Jessica Leeds walked through what happened to her when she said President Donald Trump grabbed her and forcibly kissed her on an airplane.

Leeds met Trump in the 1970s while working as a saleswoman. Times were different, she explained in a New York Times interview before the election in 2016. According to her account, Trump groped and kissed her while the two sat next to each other in first class seats.

“Whether it was 15 minutes or not, it seemed like forever,” she recalled.

“They served a dinner. After the dinner was cleared he began encroaching on my side of the seat,” Leeds later told NPR’s Audie Cornish. “Mr. Trump started coming over to me and groping me and trying to embrace me. And then his hands started going up my skirt.”

“I don’t recall saying no, I don’t recall saying stop,” she said. “I don’t recall saying anything. It was like a silent pantomime. I remember at one point looking over at the guy in the seat across the aisle, and his eyes were like bugging out of his head.”

When Trump began “going up my skirt,” Leeds said she struggled and stood up and went to the back of the plane. When the flight landed she said that she waited for everyone to get off before she did because she didn’t want to risk running into him.

1. Good luck in this not being locked...

You should point out that you used the headline of the article.

[geardaddy]

2. Yep, I know.

But it's a quote from Don the Con.

[True Dough]

4. I would suggest putting quotes around the "C" word in the thread title

At least that indicates the word likely comes from another source and isn't your descriptor.

[geardaddy]

6. I did, but they don't post for some reason.

[geardaddy]

7. Fixed.

[True Dough]

10. Looks better to me.

[geardaddy]

11. Thanks!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It's the article title and a direct quote from Trump.

[still_one]

8. The OP title should have quotes

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Thread titles don't accept double quote marks.

It's an odd feature of DU's software.

[TexasTowelie]

26. It will accept double quotation marks.

The issue is that thread titles will not accept what is known as "smart punctuation". If the headline has a "straight" mark such as ' or " then it will appear in the title. However, it will ignore marks that are curved to signify either an opening or closing quotation mark or apostrophe. I frequently fix the thread titles in my OP.

While I don't use my phone to post, my understanding is that the phones default to using "smart punctuation" and that the user has to override to use the "dumb punctuation" marks instead.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. OK, thanks for that info. I will watch out for smart quotes.

[geardaddy]

13. It does now. I fixed it.

31. Good show geardaddy

5. Trump is so repulsive, he even gives creeps and douchebags a bad name.

[Shrike47]

9. That word is a quote from DJT according to Jessica Leeds. He called her that.

I do not agree with censorship of that word here under any circumstances, but that is what Trump referred to her as for not cooperating with his advances.

[IronLionZion]

14. Well that's not as bad as a side hug for a photo

it's not like Trump grabbed Ms. Leeds' waist and squeezed in front of lots of witnesses.

Ms. Leeds should resign for traumatizing Trump. He's the real victim here.

[geardaddy]

15. Yep.

[hurple]

20. Dear god...

Can you imagine the fallout if he had done something like that? He might be forced to resign or something!

[IronLionZion]

22. A lot of people have taken photos with Trump

we need one to come forward and share their trauma

[L. Coyote]

16. Trump told her, I remember you. You were that cunt woman from the airplane.

“Women who have lived through this!” she exclaimed to Kelly. “Everyone has their own story of a man touching them inappropriately. Men, multiple men, this isn’t an incident that happens once in a blue moon this happens daily to women. And for them not to say, ‘You know, that’s wrong. I don’t support that. I’m not voting for that. I don’t want that person to be leading my country.’ That was so painful.”

17. Of course he remembered her..

he tends to hold grudges. What a complete piece of crap he is.

18. One thing I'll hand to Trump

Is that he changed the language of mainstream reporting.

18 months ago, a word like pussy was most likely not used in a newspaper.

Now he's taking another word mainstream.

[lunatica]

19. Thanks for posting this, warts and all

What these scum do should never be whitewashed again. They leave women feeling ashamed and soiled. It’s degrading and humiliating and disgusting. For women to say it made them feel uncomfortable is decidedly understating how it truly makes us feel. Along with the above stated feelings there is a lot fear of being raped or blamed for the actions of these sick individuals.

21. FOX News "Liberal Press Fake News: Trump said C-Word. He really said "See You Next Tuesday" to man."

23. +1

25. Those five first words could make for a button that if everyone wore might/could bring down an...

orange shitgibbon in the White House.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Not A Single Supporter Will Believe Her

Hence, the dilemma.

[PatrickforO]

29. Well, we do have some people on here who would not recognize either sarcasm or

that this is the headline of an article, if it came up and bit them in the nose.

That said, good post, and good link. The more this gets out, the closer we'll be to holding the chief female-genitalia-grabber to account for his misogyny, and for his actual assaults against women.

30. Too bad the guy across the aisle didn't speak up.
