Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado Has a Sex Tape-Mostly Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Donald Trump tweeted that former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who Hillary Clinton held up as an example of Trump’s sexism during the first presidential debate, has a sex tape.
The Truth:
We couldn’t find any proof that Alicia Machado has a sex tape, but she was once filmed in an intimate encounter on a reality TV show.
The former Miss Universe’s past was dredge up after Hillary Clinton said during the first presidential debate that Donald Trump had called Machado “Miss Piggy” when she gained weight after being crowned:
CLINTON: And one of the worst things (Trump) said was about a woman in a beauty contest. He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman “Miss Piggy.” Then he called her “Miss Housekeeping,” because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.
TRUMP: Where did you find this? Where did you find this?
CLINTON: Her name is Alicia Machado.
TRUMP: Where did you find this?
CLINTON: And she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet…
TRUMP: Oh, really?
CLINTON: … she’s going to vote this November.
The day after the debate, Trump defended comments about Machado in which he called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” in an alleged reference to her Venezuelan nationality in an appearance on “Fox and Friends”:
“She was impossible … She was the winner and you know she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem. And (Clinton) found the girl and talked about her like she was Mother Teresa and it wasn’t quite that way, but that’s OK. Hillary has to do what she has to do.”
Then, in the early morning hours of September 30th, Trump went a step further by calling Machado “disgusting” and urging his followers to “check out sex tape”:
Machado did pose for Mexican Playboy twice, and she was allegedly filmed having sex with a fellow contestant on “The VIP” Spanish reality show in 2008. It should be noted, however, that the clip was broadcast on TV and wasn’t released as a “sex tape.” Various porno producers have used Machado lookalikes in videos that are billed as “Alicia Machado sex tapes”— but we couldn’t find any indication that she actually appeared in one of them. Given that, we’re calling this one “mostly fiction.”
