Melania Trump Epstein Allegations: Former Model Drops Bombshell Claims on How They Met

A former Brazilian model has dropped some serious new allegations about First Lady Melania Trump that go straight against what she said in that surprising White House appearance a few months back.

Back in April, Melania called an unexpected press conference right there in the Cross Hall. She took the opportunity to shut down any talk of connections to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison years ago.

“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” she told everyone. “Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.”

She kept going, saying she had zero knowledge of the terrible things Epstein did to his victims and insisted she was never part of any of it. “I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane and never visited his private island,” Melania added. She wrapped up by calling on Congress to step up with public hearings involving the victims to finally get the whole truth out there.

President Trump came out afterward and said he had no clue his wife was planning to speak that day. He told a reporter he “didn’t know anything about” her statement in advance and insisted that she “didn’t know” Epstein at all.

Now those words are being challenged in a big way. Amanda Ungaro, who dated Paolo Zampolli for around twenty years, released a recorded conversation where she accuses him of not telling the truth about how Melania and Donald first crossed paths.

According to a story in the Daily Beast, Ungaro says it was actually Jeffrey Epstein who introduced them, and that Melania was working as an escort for him back then. In the WhatsApp audio she urges Zampolli to come clean with the public.

“Let’s tell the public you never was the one introducing Melania to Trump. It was Jeffrey Epstein, as she was escort of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s how she met Donald Trump,” she says in the recording. “And I know, because I was with you 20 years and you always told me it was not you, it was Jeffrey Epstein.”

Ungaro had shared the audio on X but the post got taken down later. She has her own history tied to Epstein’s world too. At just seventeen years old in June 2002, she flew on his famous private jet from Paris to New York with her modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel.

For years the two couples ran in the same circles and even got photographed together at different events at Mar-a-Lago.

All of this is coming out while Ungaro is in the middle of a tough custody fight with Zampolli. He currently works as Special Envoy for Global Partnerships in the Trump administration and sits on the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees.

Zampolli pushed back hard when asked about the recording. In his statement to the Daily Beast he called the claims “a disgrace” and said he was “truly concerned for her health,” adding that she “truly needs some therapy.”

These fresh accusations are stirring up the whole Epstein conversation again and bringing new attention to the old questions about how Melania and Donald Trump actually met in the first place.
