A former international beauty queen has made a stunning new allegation about Ivana Trump, claiming Donald Trump’s first wife helped bring young women into Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle in much the same way as convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland and Miss Europe contestant, made the explosive claim during the final installment of a three-part interview with PunchUp, a Substack publication launched by the Daily Beast.
Keul, now 55, alleges Ivana acted as a trusted and reassuring presence at glamorous, high-end events where young women could be introduced to powerful men and later isolated.
“Ivana played a major role in this whole cosmos, bringing in women in the same way as Maxwell,” Keul told the outlet.
“Was Maxwell a madam or an enabler? However you would describe her, Ivana was the same.”
The claim has not been independently verified.
PunchUp said it has seen no evidence that Ivana knew about, participated in, or helped carry out any criminal activity connected to Epstein.
Ivana, the mother of Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump, died in 2022 at age 73. She was never charged with any crime related to Epstein.
Keul said she encountered Donald and Ivana Trump at the 1993 Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant, where she alleges she saw Ivana interacting with contestants in a way she now compares to Maxwell’s role in Epstein’s operation.
Keul has also accused Donald Trump of groping her during the event, when she was a 23-year-old banking executive and model. She further claims Trump threatened her if she spoke publicly about the alleged encounter.
Trump has denied all allegations of sexual assault and harassment, describing them as “unequivocally false.” He has also said he never met some of the women who have accused him of misconduct.
Keul has separately alleged that Epstein identified her as his intended “prey.”
Trump and Epstein were known to socialize during the 1990s and were photographed together at parties, including at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Their relationship reportedly ended sometime in the 2000s.
The White House has insisted Trump “has been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls. She is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence.
PunchUp said Maxwell’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment.
Keul’s claims add another dramatic chapter to the continuing scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s powerful social circle. However, no evidence has been publicly produced showing that Ivana Trump knew about or assisted in Epstein’s crimes.
