| Boilerpipe Text | Ivanka Trump
is finally speaking out about her fatherâs now
infamous 2005 hot-mic tape
.
The mother of three issued a one-sentence statement to
Fast Company
addressing the lewd comments that the 70-year-old Republican candidate dismissed as âlocker room talkâ during the second presidential debate.
âMy fatherâs comments were clearly inappropriate and offensive, and Iâm glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people,â Ivanka, 34, said in the statement.
Melania Trump
has also been defending her husband in past days, although she too admitted his vulgar words about women in the footage were âunacceptable and offensive.â
In an interview with CNNâs
Anderson Cooper
that aired Monday night, the wife of the GOP nominee says that then-
Access Hollywood
host Billy Bush, who
officially parted ways
with the
Today
show Monday as a result of the leaked tape, âegged onâ her husband to make âinappropriateâ comments about women in 2005.
Melania questioned whether her husband and Bush âeven knew that the mic was onâ and chalked their conversation up to âboy talk.â
âAnd he was led on â like, egged on â from the host to say dirty and bad stuff,â she said.
Though she called Bush and her husband âtwo teenage boys,â she also defended Donaldâs comments by explaining, âI know how some men talk, and thatâs how I saw it,â even jokingly sharing: âSometimes I say I have two boys at home, I have my young son and I have my husband.â
In addition to Donaldâs inappropriate language,
multiple women have come forward
with claims of the businessman sexually assaulting them.
Among the women whoâve come forward was former PEOPLE writer Natasha Stoynoff,
who said that
while interviewing Donald and then-pregnant Melania at Mar-a-Lago for a piece about their first wedding anniversary in 2005, the GOP nominee âpushedâ her up against a wall, forcing his tongue down her throat and later insisted that they would âhave an affair.â
Donald vehemently denied the allegations last week, saying during a Florida rally that they are âall 100 percent, totally and completely fabricated.â
STORY BEHIND THE STORY: PEOPLE Editor Corroborates Natasha Stoynoffâs Allegations Against Donald Trump
Melania also denied Stoynoffâs account. âThe story that came out in PEOPLE magazine, the writer she said my husband took her to the room and started kissing her, she wrote in the same story about me that she saw me on Fifth Avenue, and I said to her âNatasha, how come we donât see you anymore?â I was never friends with her, I would not recognize her,â she said during her CNN interview. âThat never happened, I was never friends with her, I saw her, she interviewed us twice, she came to the wedding, and for that story, thatâs it. I would not recognize her on the street or ask her why we donât see her anymore, so that was another thing like people come out saying lies and not true stuff.â
But PEOPLE Editor in Chief Jess Cagle says in a statement about Stoynoffâs piece, âIn this weekâs issue of PEOPLE (which hits newsstands in New York on Wednesday), we feature a story that includes at least six named sources who can corroborate Natasha Stoynoffâs account â including one woman (a friend of Natashaâs) who was actually with her when she bumped into
Melania Trump
on Fifth Ave., as outlined in her story.â |

| Readable Markdown | [Ivanka Trump](https://people.com/tag/ivanka-trump/) is finally speaking out about her fatherâs now [infamous 2005 hot-mic tape](https://people.com/politics/trump-tape-lewd-comments-women-2005/).
The mother of three issued a one-sentence statement to *[Fast Company](https://www.fastcompany.com/3064736/election-2016/ivanka-breaks-her-silence-on-the-trump-tape)* addressing the lewd comments that the 70-year-old Republican candidate dismissed as âlocker room talkâ during the second presidential debate.
âMy fatherâs comments were clearly inappropriate and offensive, and Iâm glad that he acknowledged this fact with an immediate apology to my family and the American people,â Ivanka, 34, said in the statement.
[Melania Trump](https://people.com/celebrity/melania-trumps-first-interview/) has also been defending her husband in past days, although she too admitted his vulgar words about women in the footage were âunacceptable and offensive.â
In an interview with CNNâs [Anderson Cooper](https://people.com/tag/anderson-cooper/) that aired Monday night, the wife of the GOP nominee says that then-*Access Hollywood* host Billy Bush, who [officially parted ways](https://people.com/tv/billy-bush-officially-parts-ways-today-show-after-leaked-tape/) with the *Today* show Monday as a result of the leaked tape, âegged onâ her husband to make âinappropriateâ comments about women in 2005.
Melania questioned whether her husband and Bush âeven knew that the mic was onâ and chalked their conversation up to âboy talk.â
âAnd he was led on â like, egged on â from the host to say dirty and bad stuff,â she said.
Though she called Bush and her husband âtwo teenage boys,â she also defended Donaldâs comments by explaining, âI know how some men talk, and thatâs how I saw it,â even jokingly sharing: âSometimes I say I have two boys at home, I have my young son and I have my husband.â
In addition to Donaldâs inappropriate language, [multiple women have come forward](https://people.com/politics/every-sexual-assault-accusation-against-donald-trump/) with claims of the businessman sexually assaulting them.
Among the women whoâve come forward was former PEOPLE writer Natasha Stoynoff, [who said that](https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-attacked-people-writer/) while interviewing Donald and then-pregnant Melania at Mar-a-Lago for a piece about their first wedding anniversary in 2005, the GOP nominee âpushedâ her up against a wall, forcing his tongue down her throat and later insisted that they would âhave an affair.â
Donald vehemently denied the allegations last week, saying during a Florida rally that they are âall 100 percent, totally and completely fabricated.â
**STORY BEHIND THE STORY: PEOPLE Editor Corroborates Natasha Stoynoffâs Allegations Against Donald Trump**
Melania also denied Stoynoffâs account. âThe story that came out in PEOPLE magazine, the writer she said my husband took her to the room and started kissing her, she wrote in the same story about me that she saw me on Fifth Avenue, and I said to her âNatasha, how come we donât see you anymore?â I was never friends with her, I would not recognize her,â she said during her CNN interview. âThat never happened, I was never friends with her, I saw her, she interviewed us twice, she came to the wedding, and for that story, thatâs it. I would not recognize her on the street or ask her why we donât see her anymore, so that was another thing like people come out saying lies and not true stuff.â
But PEOPLE Editor in Chief Jess Cagle says in a statement about Stoynoffâs piece, âIn this weekâs issue of PEOPLE (which hits newsstands in New York on Wednesday), we feature a story that includes at least six named sources who can corroborate Natasha Stoynoffâs account â including one woman (a friend of Natashaâs) who was actually with her when she bumped into [Melania Trump](https://people.com/tag/melania-trump/) on Fifth Ave., as outlined in her story.â |
