Ladies and gentlemen gather ‘round, it’s storytime! Claudia Jordan is coming forward and joining the vast majority of people, with stories of her past experiences with Donald Trump, appearing on the podcast “Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef” to spill all of the tea.
Prior to being a reality star and talk show host on Fox Soul, the Providence, RI native began her career in beauty pageants. The Out Loud with Claudia Jordan host participated in regional pageants, becoming the second African American woman to hold the title of Miss Rhode Island USA in 1997 when she won. She also competed and placed within the top 10 at the Miss USA pageant in 1997.
Jordan went on to appear in various music videos, before being a regular on game shows The Price is Right from 2001 until 2003, and on Deal or No Deal from 2005 until 2009. She expanded her resume to become a radio personality having a SIRIUS/XM show on Jamie Foxx’s “The Foxxhole” called The Claudia Jordan Show.
Her casting on Real Housewives of Atlanta would bring Jordan more notoriety, appearing as a main housewife in the show’s seventh season in 2014 and returning with a supporting role in the next season.

Prior to appearing on “Housewives”, Jordan was a cast member on Donald Trump’s reality competition show, The Celebrity Apprentice. During her interview on Behind The Velvet Rope, she details moments with Trump, including her opinions on how he views his family and people in general. “I think Tiffany is the most neglected of all the daughters,” Jordan said. “I kind of feel like he doesn’t give her as much attention. Now, a little bit more, but I feel like at the time she wasn’t getting that and I really thought she was a sweetheart and [ex-wife] Marla is very sweet.”
The model continued, “He favors Ivanka over his own wife. I like the way he loves Ivanka. He loves Ivanka. I think he’s okay with Trump Jr. And Eric is just like, whatever. The afterthought, but he’s the ugliest.”
On Trump’s preferences, she added, “So I think Trump judges people by looks, weight. He made comments to me when I was doing ‘Celebrity Apprentice’. Like, I know he values people based on those types of things. And I know that sounds like a f**ked up thing for me to say but it’s true. He does. He values people based on how thin they are, how attractive they are, if they’re rich.” She then went on to recall a time that the Commander-in-Chief made controversial remarks in attempts to discourage her from dating Black men.

“Like he called me a few times and … he would tell me that I shouldn’t waste my time with Black men, dating them, which I was at the time dating an Olympic athlete, Black man, and who is the best in the world,” she says. “And I was like, ‘Wait, why would you say that to me?’ And he said, ‘Cause they don’t have money.’ And I was like, Hmm, okay. So just throw away the whole race because they don’t have the money to you. So I told him, I said… ‘That’s not a cool thing.’”
Afterward, Jordan brought up the time when Trump attempted to kiss her. “Oh, before I got ‘Apprentice’, we were just like the year or the year leading up to the show. He was trying it a little bit, you know, he would kind of do it,” the Fox Soul host explained. “He tried to kiss me one time, twice,” he said. “And I had to remind him that he was married. That was like, You are not putting that tongue in my mouth. This is not going to happen. Absolutely not. Yeah. I mean, everyone knows he cheats on her. And so does she, that’s why her bracelets and diamonds are so big.
“I know he did like me as a person,” she continued. “I know he floated and he did try to kiss me twice, but I wasn’t gonna go along with that. And you know, he tried me a couple times, but I was still able to, like I said, curve, which a lot of women, we shouldn’t have to have the skill, but a lot of us do have that skill… We have to navigate where, okay, it wasn’t sexual assault, I’m not going to say that, but you are trying it and you are a married man. And let me remind you, you are married to Melania and I’m not her… So you can put your little orange lips on your wife and we can do business but you are gonna be over there.”
