Move over, Stormy Daniels. There's a new alleged Trump mistress making headlines.

Fresh off his October expose on Harvey Weinstein's history of sexual misconduct, journalist Ronan Farrow has turned his attention to President Trump's personal life. Friday, the New Yorker published Farrow's interview with the former Playboy Playmate of the Year Karen McDougal allegedly began a nine-month affair with the future POTUS in June 2006. The White House has denied the allegations.

Although a contract with National investigator publisher American Media Inc. (AMI), to whom she sold exclusive rights to her story, prevents McDougal from discussing or expressly confirming the alleged affair; her handwritten diary entries obtained by Farrow refer to dinner dates intimate relationships, sexual encounters and disagreements. with his two oldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric. Barron Trump was reportedly only a few months old when the alleged relationship began, about 18 months after then-host Donald Trump The apprenticemarried Melania Trump.

There is much to uncover in Farrow's investigation, which repeats an investigation from November 4, 2016, Wall Street Journal report that AMI paid McDougal $150,000 for his story in order to bury it. The pre-election bombshell didn't stop Trump from taking the White House, but will it make waves now? And who is the former Playmate who could topple the presidency?

Born in Indiana in 1971 and raised in Michigan, McDougal, 46, is a former high school cheerleader, student-athlete and four-time Michigan state clarinet champion.

After graduating from high school – where she was nicknamed “Barbie” – in 1989, she spent two years studying elementary education at Ferris State University in Michigan. She then taught kindergarten in Detroit for two years before embarking on a modeling career.

After being spotted at a swimsuit competition, McDougal made her Playboy center debut with the December 1997 issue. Hugh Hefner named her 1998 Playmate of the Year the following May. She subsequently appeared in numerous Playboy projects, including a 2005 swimsuit calendar, a Playboy-themed shoot for Vogue Italy in 2004, and a limited edition doll made in his likeness.

McDougal also has various acting credits and television appearances under his belt, including appearances in films like Charlie's Angels And Joe Dirtguest roles for E! Savage !a role in the 2001 Roger Corman-produced gladiator film The arenaand an appearance as a contestant in WWE 2004 Search for Divas special.

McDougal has also done extensive work on fitness models and has described herself as a motorcycle enthusiast and animal lover. She told Farrow that she was a Republican who had “found God” in recent years.

According to Farrow's article, McDougal met Trump at a pool party at the Playboy Mansion in June 2006. He allegedly asked for her number, and his diary notes from the time describe a first date at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which included sexual intercourse. According to the newspaper, Trump offered McDougal money, which she refused.

Farrow's report says McDougal's relationship overlapped with Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels, who was also allegedly paid for his story. Both women were present at the same events and both reportedly had meetings with Trump at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Although she has never been married, McDougal has been linked to one famous man besides Trump: actor Bruce Willis, whom she reportedly dated in 2008.

This is about a year after she reportedly broke up with Trump, according to her friend John Crawford's comments to Farrow. In Crawford's words, McDougal ended the alleged affair in April 2007 because “she could no longer look in the mirror.” Her renewed spirituality led her to feel guilty about seeing a married man, while sexist comments allegedly made by Trump also turned her off.

From her AMI contract, McDougal insists she only took home $82,500 of the $150,000 winnings. The deal, she told Farrow, was supposed to include hosting opportunities for AMI's publications, but, aside from a few columns, these never came to fruition. In her Twitter profilehowever, she describes herself as a “Okay!/Star Magazine and columnist for Radar Online. Indeed, one of his fitness stories was published in a June 2017 issue of ALL RIGHT! featuring the first lady on the cover.

The model had her breast implants removed in January 2017 after a period of poor health. She told Farrow that she saw her renewed health and the #MeToo movement as motivation to address her relationship with Trump, despite being bound by her AMI contract.

“As I was sick and felt like I was dying and bedridden, all I could do was pray to live,” she told Farrow. “But now I pray to live right and right the wrongs I have done.”
