NEW YORK: In his years as a reality TV boss on The Apprentice, Donald Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he’d like to have sex with.
AP interviewed more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who described crass behaviour by Trump behind the scenes. Former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of daughter Ivanka. During one season, Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter dresses that also showed more cleavage. Several cast members said Trump had one female contestant twirl before him so he could ogle her figure.
