Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Makes Serious Allegations Against Trump in Viral Video

A clinical psychologist from New York has come forward with serious allegations against Donald Trump, claiming that he abused her during her childhood. Her video has attracted widespread attention online, although the accusations have not been independently verified.

Dr. Larissa Portnoff, who works as a clinical psychologist and serves as clinical director at New York Psychology Practice, published the video over the weekend. In it, she identifies herself as someone who was allegedly victimized by Trump when she was young.

Portnoff, now in her 30s, previously participated in Miss Teen USA, a beauty pageant owned by Trump between 1997 and 2015.

Allegations Dating Back to Her Childhood

During the video, Portnoff describes what she says happened to her over several years. She alleges that the abuse started when she was approximately eight years old and continued until she reached the age of 12.

She further claims that she experienced renewed unwanted attention during her teenage years. According to her account, there were also allegedly exploitative interactions involving Trump and individuals connected to him after she turned 18.

Claims of Intimidation and Attempts to Silence Her

Portnoff also raises concerns about what she describes as efforts to discourage her from speaking publicly.

She says that, over the past year, an individual she suspects was connected to political circles contacted her. She believes these interactions amounted to attempts at witness intimidation.

One incident she highlighted involved an invitation to attend a New York Yankees game on September 11. Portnoff alleges that the invitation was intended to put her in a vulnerable position and described the situation as deeply disturbing.

She additionally claims that confidential records connected to her previous reports, in which she was identified as Jane Doe, were accessed and exposed her identity.

Addressing Trump directly in the recording, she accused him of attempting to interfere with evidence and avoiding accountability.

Portnoff also says she has received threats, including threats against her life. Despite this, she insists that she intends to continue speaking publicly about her allegations.

She has reportedly brought her concerns to a Senate office and claims the matter was subsequently referred to the Attorney General. She is now calling for a formal investigation, arguing that the individuals involved may have connections to powerful circles.

At the end of her video, Portnoff appeals to anyone who might have relevant information to contact her professional office. She says that information shared with her will be handled confidentially under applicable HIPAA protections.

What Has Been Confirmed So Far?

Despite the attention surrounding the video, Portnoff’s allegations have not been independently substantiated. No publicly documented court proceedings or official investigation specifically connected to her claims have been identified.

On November 2, White House spokesperson Lauren Bis responded to questions from Snopes, rejecting the accusations outright.

The spokesperson described the allegations as false and defamatory, adding that Trump had never met or even heard of Portnoff. The response also accused Democrats of using the controversy to divert attention from their political agenda.

Trump has faced accusations of sexual misconduct from numerous women over the years. According to Axios, nearly 30 women have made allegations ranging from unwanted physical contact to sexual assault. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing and has not faced criminal charges in connection with those accusations.

However, a separate civil case resulted in a legal finding against him. In 2023, a New York jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and awarded her $5 million in damages. An appeals court upheld the verdict in December 2024. Trump continues to deny Carroll’s allegations.

Portnoff’s video also emerged shortly after House Judiciary Democrats published a report discussing claims made by former Miss Switzerland contestant Beatrice Keul.

Keul alleges that Trump raped her at New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1993. The White House dismissed the report as politically motivated.

For now, Portnoff’s accusations remain unverified, and the public has yet to see independent evidence establishing the claims she makes in her video.
