Former Brazilian Model Claims Melania Trump Was an 'Escort' for Jeffrey Epstein Before She Met Donald Trump
A 2019 FBI witness statement also says Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump

Internatinal Business Times, 2 June 2026
Amanda Ungaro, a former Brazilian model who sat at First Lady Melania Trump's personal table during the 2017 inauguration dinner, alleged in a now-deleted recording circulated on X this weekend that Melania was an 'escort' for convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and that Epstein, not modelling agent Paolo Zampolli, introduced her to Donald Trump.
What the Deleted Recording Says
Ungaro, who spent nearly 20 years in a relationship with Zampolli, directly addressed her ex-partner in a leaked WhatsApp voice recording that went viral on X late on Sunday before being scrubbed hours later.
"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," Ungaro said.
She added that Zampolli had privately told her for years that he was not the one who arranged the introduction. The recording was first published on X by independent journalist Anthony Andrews, who stated he shared the media file at Ungaro's direct request. Andrews later noted that Ungaro asked him to take it down, but by then copies had already spread across multiple social platforms.
An FBI Witness Told a Similar Story
Ungaro's claims don't exist in isolation. A heavily redacted FBI FD-302 proffer interview conducted in July 2019, days after Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges, contains a strikingly similar account from a separate witness.

It seems Paolo, Jean-Luc, Jeffrey and Donald understood that the really big money in modeling is made when the models are reassigned to the escort-side of the enterprise.

Yes, but her last name isn't Harris, Biden or Obama, so the corporate media looks the other way.

And he is still paying for her but now all he gets is an occasional attendance at one of his dinners or events.
