“I looked at him and said, ‘That’s not me. I’m not that kind of girl,’” McDougal said. “And he said, ‘Oh,’ and he said, ‘You’re really special.’”

After the encounter, McDougal got in a car to go home and began crying. She said it hurt her that Trump saw her in this way.

“It hurt me that he saw me in that light, and he obviously assumed that that’s the kind of girl I was,” McDougal said. “Maybe because I was a Playmate? I don’t know.”

Cooper then clarified that McDougal and Trump had had days of conversation before sleeping together, and McDougal said it hurt her and reiterated that she cried in the backseat of the car on her way home.

“I got home into my apartment and I cried a lot,” McDougal said. “I felt really terrible about myself.”

Trump has not made any statements confirming or denying the encounter.
