CYBERSPACE—Ukranian-born Victoria Zdrok has been both a Penthouse Pet (June 2002) and a Playboy Playmate (October 1994), plus she was named Pet of the Year in 2004—but those are only a few of her accomplishments. Academically, she's got doctorates in law, medicine and psychology, and she's officially qualified as a sex therapist in her home state of New Jersey.
Oh; and she's done hardcore solo and lesbian scenes in 14 XXX movies for studios such as Adam & Eve, NinnWorx, Suze Randall, Penthouse and Roman Video, plus had non-sex roles in several others, so it's fair to describe her as a "porn star."
Thus, it certainly caught our attention when The Daily Beast posted an article yesterday by Lloyd Grove and Tim Teeman, titled "Trump Denied Dating Model, Called Her a ‘Fucking Third-Rate Hooker’"—though of course, The Beast left our the "uc" in "fucking."
The article mainly concerns former Howard Stern regular Chaunce Hayden, who recently unearthed recordings of interviews he did with Zdrok as well as with likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
According to Zdrok, Trump had called a staffer at Playboy magazine, looking to get a date with Zdrok, and the pair "ended up going out four times," she told Hayden.
"She said she had gotten a call from Playboy Promotions saying Trump was 'looking for a new girl for his ad campaign for one of his casinos in Atlantic City…'" Hayden quotes Zdrok as saying. "It turns out he was never actually looking for a model. He was just trying to pick me up."
Zdrok described Trump as "really arrogant" and "really into himself."
"On a date all he does is talk about himself," she said during the interview. "He loves himself! The first thing he says to me on our date is that he's taller and better looking than what he looks like in pictures, and that people don't realize it. He said, 'People don’t realize how handsome I am!' He actually loves himself! I never met a more narcissistic person than Donald. ... You feel just like a piece of jewelry when you're with him. For him, it's all about looks, appearances, and signing autographs. He just loves it."
The article quotes Hayden extensively regarding the interview, including Zdrok telling him that she wouldn't fuck Trump because she didn't want to be "another notch on his belt."
Zdrok then accused Trump of being a racist.
"He would always talk about this one girl, a supermodel, and how he would give her the best orgasms of her life," Zdrok told Hayden. "And how she misses him so much. He told me he really likes this girl but he would never go out with her because he found out she was half-black and that would be bad for his reputation. I thought that was very racist."
For his part, when Hayden interviewed Trump himself, The Donald essentially denied everything.
"I don’t even know who the hell she is," Trump told Hayden, adding that the idea that he was thinking about using Zdrok for an advertising campaign was, "Bullshit, total bullshit. ... I use models, not Playboy people for that." He also denied taking her out, saying, "She’s not even attractive, she’s not a good-looking girl."
Trump's problems with women have recently been front-page news in The New York Times, and the candidate has made so many contradictory statements about so many topics, it's hard to believe he told the truth to Hayden. But to date, Trump has never been connected to a porn star, so perhaps that's something that will give mainstream Republicans even further pause before supporting his candidacy.
One can only hope.
