After she threatened to derail his possible presidential run in 1999, Donald Trump silenced Marla Maples by threatening to withhold $1.5 million he still owed her from their divorce settlement. It shut her up.
Buzzfeed unearthed the 17-year-old saga which began after Maples, Trumps second wife, told the London Telegraph that she would divulge what the mogul is really like if he chose to enter the race.
If he is really serious about being President and runs in the general election next year, I will not be silent, Maples said. I will feel it is my duty as an American citizen to tell the people what he is really like.
But I cant imagine that they would really elect him, would they? she added. His drug is attention. Hes so ego-driven.
Trump and his attorneys then threatened to pocket the remaining money she was owed. Trumps lawyer, Jay Goldberg, told the Daily News that Maples might have been liable for sanctions if shed spoken out about their marriage.
A Manhattan judge finally ordered that the billionaire pay Maples what she was owed.
