Beatrice Keul, the Swiss woman who claims that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her, was the guest of RTS’s “7:30 p.m.” on Thursday evening. This former model and ex-candidate for Miss Switzerland reiterated her accusations, which she revealed this week in the British “Daily Mail”: “He kissed me on the lips and on the neck. He tried to lift my dress. He grabbed and touched my body wherever he could.”
The scene, according to the testimony of the Zurich resident, now 53 years old, took place in 1993 in New York, on the sidelines of the American Dream Pageant beauty contest. She was then 22 years old.
According to her, Donald Trump literally jumped on her in a hotel room. “I didn’t have time to turn around, he was already on me. He touched me everywhere and kissed me. At that moment, I thought I was going to die,” she said. And added that she thinks she was very lucky to be able to repel the American, in particular thanks to his large size and his firmness.
Facing Philippe Revaz, she explained that at the time she had also encountered Jeffrey Epstein, the now deceased sexual predator. He allegedly tried to convince her to join Donald Trump at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. An offer that she considered “very suspicious” and refused. “I felt like Heidi thrust into Predator Land,” she commented.
But why these accusations today, more than 30 years after the alleged facts, just a few days before the election that will send Kamala Harris or Donald Trump to the White House? A coincidence, repeated the Swiss, who swears to be linked neither to the Democrats nor to the Republicans. She says she found an old box that contained all the documents and souvenirs related to this trip to New York.
The fifty-year-old also revealed on RTS that she did not intend to pursue Donald Trump or engage in a legal war. But she wants to tell her truth on paper. “I don’t think I’m going to try anything, but my revenge will be my book,” she announced.
The Republican presidential candidate’s camp refuted his accusations, saying they were false.
It should be noted that even if some American media reported Beatrice Keul’s accusations, this testimony did not really make headlines in the United States. Perhaps because Donald Trump has already faced nearly thirty accusations of sexual assault – including one conviction – but strangely, that does not seem to have much influence on voters.
