In her first social media post since former president Donald Trump’s arrest on Wednesday, ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal wrote cheekily, “Hope I didn’t miss anything.”
The 52-year-old actor and former Playmate posted a picture of herself on Instagram from a ski lodge in Vail, Colorado, smiling and making the peace sign.
I’ve been off exploring God’s land…” She wrote, “I hope I didn’t miss anything.”
Trump was arrested on Tuesday in Manhattan, and the implication in the joke was that she may play a significant role in the case.
Prosecutors claim in the charge that Trump used “catch and kill” methods to prevent any sex controversies from becoming public knowledge, including the one with McDougal.
Prosecutors claim that McDougal accepted $150,000 to keep quiet about a “sexual relationship” she claims she had with Trump while he was married.
In addition to the 34 charges of falsifying business records at the heart of the accusation, there are allegations that Trump paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money and a doorman $30,000 to keep quiet after he claimed to have information about the then-real estate tycoon.
McDougal is only identified as “Woman 1” in the charge, without her given name.
On Wednesday, she posted an Instagram photo of herself beaming and dressed in pink near the slopes in the picture-perfect mountain village. The majority of the comments were positive; many users wrote “YOU ROCK” or “so gorg,” indicating that they found her attractive.
McDougal claimed to the New Yorker in 2018 that she had an affair with Trump and that she had been paid to keep quiet about it.
The magazine has acquired a scribbled letter in which she describes her first encounter with the real estate tycoon, which took place in June 2006 and included a steak supper and sexual activity.
She added, “After talking for a couple of hours, we got naked and had sex.”
She claimed that when they were finished, Trump offered her money, but she declined, telling him, “I’m not that kind of girl.”
Trump has said there was no romance between them.
