Marla Maples reportedly warned her mother to keep her teenage daughter away from Donald Trump

Marla Maples once warned the mother of a teenager to keep her daughter away from Maples’ then-husband, President Donald Trump.

At the time, Trump would sometimes bus models to parties at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, which the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein also frequently attended.

A 14-year-old model signed to Ford Models was told to “dress sexy” for a party in late 1994, according to a New York Times article detailing Trump’s relationship with Epstein.

The girl’s mother, Sandra Coleman, said her daughter Tina Davis was one of eight or nine models spotted for the party who were “very young.”

“Some of them could have been wearing training bras,” Coleman told the Times.

When they arrived at Mar-a-Lago, the girls were repeatedly offered champagne and approached by middle-aged men, Coleman said. Whenever her daughter was approached, Coleman would approach and introduce herself as Tina’s mother.

At one point, they went to the bathroom and met Maples, a former model and beauty pageant contestant who was then married to Trump.

The two women had also met earlier in the evening and Maples shook Coleman’s hands and looked into her eyes.

“Whatever you do, don’t let her be around any of these men, especially my husband,” Maples said, according to Coleman. “Protect her.”

Maples, now 62, denied making the comment, according to the Times.

“I would always protect young women in any way possible, but I’m sure I didn’t specifically say that about my daughter’s father,” she said.

Trump and Maples married in 1993, two months after the birth of their daughter, Tiffany, after having a public affair while Trump was still married to his first wife, Ivana.

Epstein attended their wedding.

The couple separated in 1997 and divorced in 1999. In 2005, Trump married first lady Melania Trump.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House and Maples for comment.

Mar-a-Lago parties were always open bar and no one checked IDs, another former model who started attending at age 17 told the Times.

The article describes how Trump and Epstein, who had been good friends for more than a decade, appeared to compete for “women,” although it was unclear whether the models Trump pursued were all over 18 at the time.

The former model who described the open bar said Trump was “always everywhere” with them. She showed the Times a photo of herself with Trump when she was a teenager, although she couldn’t remember if she was still 17 at the time.

The president has denied any wrongdoing despite his long friendship with Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to recruiting a child for prostitution after authorities uncovered evidence that he abused dozens of underage girls.

He died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

In November, Congress voted to release the Justice Department’s complete investigative files on Epstein. The release deadline is Friday.
