A half-baked bid to drum up publicity?
Unfettered by the fact that Melania Trump is currently getting the paperwork together to sue a blogger for $150 million after he called her an escort, adult tube site xHamster has confirmed it’s in possession of a videotape that allegedly features First Lady Melania Trump in what we’re imagining are several uncompromising positions.
“The decades-old video is low resolution,” the company writes on its blog, “and is shot [in] an upscale New York apartment. A man who is not Mr. Trump appears with the woman in part of the video.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Alex Hawkins, an xHamster “spokesperson,” says the resemblance to Mrs. Trump is unmistakable “as with a purported photoshoot of then Melania Knauss in the 1990s.”
We were connected to the video by a third-party who noted the resemblance and identifying details similar to those of the former Ms. Knauss. Given the rights issues, and possible ramifications for us as a company, we are being incredibly cautious. We are currently reviewing the tape, along with our legal team, and hope to have an answer as to its authenticity in the next few days. Unfortunately, we are not able to respond to individual press inquiries until we know more.
Whether or not there’s any validity to the claim remains to be seen — as does the videotape itself.

the dumb gold-digging foreign escort porn-stain is the perfect role model for uneducated inbred fake christian girls everywhere!

hey, now, would you write words like this if you knew the kid was reading it?

@1EqualityUSA – conservatives enjoy being the victims so much they probably own this site & as if stupid Melania can read english, we all know she can’t write…

OMG too funny I can’t take it!!!

No matter how much you hate Trump, slut shaming a partner is not on. It wouldn’t be cool if it was Michelle Obama, and if – as I imagine – most Queerty readers have no problem with hot dudes doing porn with each other, it’s fine even if it is true.

It is not slut shaming to publish material if the subject of the material has sold the publication rights. It’s capitalism.
Jack Meoff
I don’t believe this article is slut shaming they are just reporting on a situation that has come up in the media. I don’t even think xHampster is slut shaming either they are just drumming up headlines. Some of the comments posted here are slut shaming though.
surreal33
No, no, no, you have it all wrong. You can only slut shame “a partner” if said partner is a low-life, skank, fraud!!! Michelle Obama was an educated, refined, SCANDAL FREE, first lady. Michelle Obama earned and upheld the title first lady. In contrast, Melania Trump is a sleazy, liar, plagiarizer, and porn model.
Melania Trump has not worthy of respect!!! Also, given the fact that she worked at a “modeling agency” owned by reputed pimp Paolo Zampolli, it is not hard to believe a hardcore pornography tape of her exists. Last but certainly not least it would totally be UNACCEPTABLE if the situation were reverse and Melania Trump was a male with a sleazy porn past.

I love it! Look forward daily to see what next horror comes from this administration…

Who does your vetting and research? The lawsuit mentioned in your story that “Melania Trump is currently getting the paperwork together” has been settled. Is there another lawsuit out there?

They don’t bother researching stories, same with many other publications. That’s how false claims get spread.
As far as the above allegations, porn companies do this all the time to drum up publicity and keep their brand trending. That’s why you’ll hear about porn sites offering $1 million to Justin Bieber to appear in a porn film. They have no intentions of paying him and they know he would never consent. Its just to keep the brand trending and to help the brand get mentioned in news stories like this one.
If there really was a tape like this, they would’ve came out with it during the election and not now.

I doubt that anyone here knows for sure if Ms.Trump is the person in the video alluded to. We may wish to believe it is her – but that is not the same as knowing for sure. We are perfectly entitled to criticize the monster trump for what he says and does – his vileness is undisputed for most normal people. But this video is another thing altogether. From a political point of view I would love it if it was true – the damage would be immense. From an ethical point of view I dont care if she ever sold her body for money – that is her business. I dont expect her to involve herself in my sex life, and hypocrisy is something I don’t do. Unlike trump and his lackeys, some of us still have standards.

We don’t need to attack his wife or children, people. He has given the world enough crap on himself without going there. Lies, the desperate blaming of anyone and everyone when he fails, there is so much out there, just happening by the second. Every jaw dropping unprofessional thing that comes from this 5 year old man pretending he’s president. He’s a gift to comedians if not a danger to our country.
NateOcean
Is it OK to attack Ivanka? She’s his child, but ALSO a government employee. Which one dominates?
Jack Meoff
I think it is regrettable that the media are going after Melania as a means to get at Trump however I do take a guilty pleasure in knowing how much this will piss him off. It’s a double edged sword.
cutterq
Let’s see! wasn’t there a double standard for the clintons-chelsea was especially attacked. The only thing I dislike more then ones private life being exposed is the hypocrisy of invoking it for one person or family and not all persons or families. Each commenter should examine their criteria.
Bob LaBlah
I feel sorry for her. On inauguration day she looked terrified. My heart went out to her when the cameras showed her handing Michele Obama a gift when they got to the White House. I knew then this poor girl not only knew she was out of place but she also knew just what her husbands new “associates” were and the environment they were already creating. She always had a look of “god, what am I going to do when they find out” all the time and this might be just one of many others to come.
Melania, honey, tell them all to go have sex with themselves. That was you then. It sure as hell aint you now.
natekerchel
The question is not one of whether or not to use other trump family members to get at trump – those who put themselves in the firing line willingly are legitimate targets. That includes his wife and adult children if they support him in any way. So his wife and eldest daughter, eldest son and son in law are targets as far as I am concerned. However, the attacks must be based on fact and evidence. This story has no evidence that would make me feel convinced of its veracity. We accuse trump of lies and distortions and delusions – we must be whiter than white ourselves on these things. If it is her in the video then great news – but so far it is just a rumor. But don’t be in any doubt – she is a legitimate target.

Bring it on so the rest of the world can laugh more at the cry baby nation the US has become.
There is no way this country can win another world war with this mentality.
Russia is laughing, the Chinese are laughing, even poor countries who once feared the US are now laughing.
“booo hoo hoo, Russia chose our president”…..lol…lol do you people know how humiliating that would be if it were true.
1EqualityUSA
Putin’s up for reelection. I wonder what may happen?
natekerchel
Neonegro – the fact that you talk about not being able to win a third world war is a demonstration of the dangerous nationalistic world you and trump inhabit. Why do you want other countries to be afraid? Nothing blossoms under fear except resentment and anger. I accept that every country has a right to defend itself – that is a very different mindset to wanting to create fear. You talk like someone from the 50’s or 60’s – McCarthy springs to mind particularly.
As usual you make no salient or even adult points. Typing ‘boo hoo’ is something my 10 year old nephew would do. You seem to find it acceptable that a foreign power can, at the very least, seek to interfere in an American Presidential election. At the same time you will accuse the ‘left’ of being ‘unpatriotic’. The same 10 year old nephew could point out the flaw in your position in 30 seconds flat.
Neonegro
Reality chek for you natekerchel,
We not only seek to interfere in other countries elections, we actually do.
We have created and funded opposition parties, we have paid for and facilitated coups etc.
Maybe you should do a little research on US history and our past and present adventures.
Crying over TRUE INFORMATION obtained from the DNC is nonsense and is hypocritical.
Would you care if a foreign nation had released Trump’s tax returns or had release that sexist tape????? Of course not. So cut the BS.
Information is never a bad thing no matter the source.

You had me until the last sentence.
