In her first public remarks about her ex-boyfriend and billionaire Donald Trump, biracial supermodel Kara Young confirms a story in the gossipy book by journalist Maggie Haberman.
The anecdote, which has racial undertones, details a conversation between Trump and Young shortly after meeting her parents. Trump allegedly commented to Young that “you got your looks from your mother and your intelligence from your dad, the white side,” Inside Edition host, Deborah Norville paraphrased.
Young, who was constantly hounded by the press for stories with “racial overtones” about Trump during his pre-Melania days, says she has not spoken out about the former president until now and is doing so to “Inside Edition” due to the anti-Trump media frenzy surrounding Haberman’s book, “Confidence Man.”
She felt it necessary to confirm the account in order to provide context for Trump’s past behavior. As she explains it, “I understand why some people might have misinterpreted the exchange as racist but I know him and know it was not.”
“When someone says something in jest, are they kidding? You know, I don’t know,” Young said, adding that she corrected Trump. “It wasn’t like a fight or anything like that. It was just more like, ‘No, don’t say that. It’s not funny,.’”
She noted that Trump responded by saying he was just joking and “No, I don’t think that.”
The New York Times reporter’s book about Trump and his former girlfriend has been called “pure fiction” by the former president himself. But Young recounts a two-year relationship with Trump where they clicked and she praised his sense of humor and personality.
After their split, Young went on to marry a billionaire shipping magnate and congratulated Trump on his election win in 2016. But she doesn’t think he should run for office again in 2024.
Overall, Young paints a picture of a successful relationship with the New York real estate developer, but it seems that any communication between the two has ended since his presidential election victory.
