Trump met Czech model Ivana Zelníčková in New York in 1976. The two married the following year and would welcome three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
The movie depicts their initial courtship, wedding, and the events that led to the breakdown of their relationship before their eventual divorce in the early ’90s.
One of the most controversial scenes in the film shows Trump violenting throwing Ivana to the ground and sexually assaulting her.
Ivana, who died in 2022, said in a 1990 divorce deposition that Trump had raped her.
However, she later disavowed the claim when it was published in Harry Hurt III’s 1993 book, “The Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.”
In 2015, she released a statement about the alleged incident, saying: “I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald,” per ABC News.
“The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised 3 children that we love and are very proud of,” she added.
