There's A Scene In The New Donald Trump Biopic That Left Audiences Shocked

Huff Post  

Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn and Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi's film "The Apprentice." Cannes Film Festival/ The Apprentice The new Donald Trump biopic, “The Apprentice,” includes what some critics and audience members are describing as a scene where a young Trump rapes his then-wife, Ivana. Some viewers who saw it at the Cannes Film Festival told Variety they considered it a depiction of “rape” or “sexual assault.” Ivana Trump accused Donald of rape in a divorce deposition in 1990. Donald Trump denied the accusation, and Ivana later said the incident left her feeling “violated” but not raped “in a literal or criminal sense.” She died in 2022. Trump’s campaign said that Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, will sue the filmmakers “to address the blatantly false assertions.” Greta Gerwig, Cannes’ jury president, said that she watches every film “with an open mind and an open heart.” “I don’t want to make any assumptions about what is, but I very much look forward to it,” she said.
