How Days Star Arianne Zucker Found Herself In The Middle Of A Donald Trump Controversy

Back in 2005, Donald Trump and Billy Bush were to star in a cameo on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” Trump played himself and appeared in a scene where Arianne Zucker’s character Nicole made a pass at him, which he rejected. This was obviously out of character, as right before they started filming, Trump and Bush were discussing Zucker and how attractive she was, with Trump commenting, “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”

Zucker refused to comment to news outlets on the audio recordings when they were released, other than to claim that Trump and Bush were not talking about her specifically. However, she did release a tweet indirectly addressing the comments made about her and how she was responding, saying, “How we treat one another, whether behind closed doors, locker rooms or face to face, should be done with kindness, dignity, and respect.”
