Jeffrey Epstein Forced Model and Her Friend to Dress Like Nurses for Donald Trump

Cleo Glyde said Jeffrey Epstein paraded she and her friend to Trump Tower dressed in nurses outfits.
Glyde explained how, during one encounter with Epstein, he forced her and her friend to dress as nurses so he could bring them over to Trump Tower to parade them around the now-president.
“I had this white wraparound dress, and [Epstein] said, ‘Oh my God, you look just like a nurse,’” the model recalled.
Glyde reiterated what Epstein said to her to convince she and her friend to follow through with his plan, saying, “Why don’t we both go over to Donald’s, and you both look like nurses, and I’ll just knock on the door and we’ll go to Trump Tower and it’ll be hilarious.”

The model emphasized how it was clear that Epstein wanted to impress his friend Trump, saying, “He probably was showing off Donald to us and us to Donald.”

She noted that although the businessman-turned-president laughed at the sight of her and her friend, it wasn’t in “a way that made me uncomfortable at the time.”

Cleo Glyde Explains Why She Ended Her Friendship With Jeffrey Epstein

Cleo Glyde ended her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after an uncomfortable experience.
Glyde felt that Epstein was using her and her friend as “trophies on display” to bring to Trump. Despite the disgraceful reputation Epstein later developed in the public eye, the model said he was “way more James Bond than Darth Vader” when she knew him, adding, “He was a high-society A-lister — a sort of an enigmatic Great Gatsby figure.”
The model ended her friendship with Epstein, though, after he made an uncomfortable pass at one of her friends at his Manhattan townhouse.
“He dragged her behind the door, and they disappeared,” Glyde shared. “And she said he was just whispering all these filthy things.” She said she never contacted him after that moment.
