Actress in 2005 Video Talks to CNN.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening. Thanks very much for joining us. Two more women say Donald Trump made inappropriate sexual advances towards them. Their descriptions and what they say he did them echoing almost word for word what Trump was caught on tape boasting he could get away with because he's a star. That tape, of course, from 2005 came out exactly a week ago. The actress you see at the end of it, Arianne Zucker, joins us tonight. And this hour, Kristin Anderson, one of the two women who came forward today joins me for her first television interview. Also, Donald Trump's increasingly loud and take no prisoner's rebuttal is speaking tonight in Charlotte, North Carolina. We'll look at the way he's making his case and his decision for a second straight day to disparage the looks of his accusers with the implication that they're not attractive enough for him to notice. More on all of it now from CNN's Jim Acosta.</s>JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: No apologies and no admissions of guilt from Donald Trump who's still angrily denying he's ever sexually assaulted women.</s>DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I look at the television. I think it's a disgusting thing, and it's being pushed. They have no witnesses. There's nobody around. They just come out. Some are doing it for probably a little fame. Phony accusers come out less than a month before one of the most important elections in the history of our country.</s>ACOSTA: But every day, it seems Trump faces more accusations. The latest, Summer Zervos who appeared at a news conference with Attorney Gloria Allred who say she was abused by the real estate tycoon after she was featured on Trump's hit TV show, "The Apprentice."</s>SUMMER ZERVOS, TRUMP ACCUSER, EX-"APPRENTICE" CONTESTANT: He came to me and started kissing me open mouthed as he was pulling me towards him. He put me in an embrace and I tried to push him away. I pushed his chest to put space between us and I said, "Come on man, get real." He repeated my words back to me, "get real", as he began thrusting his genitals.</s>ACOSTA: Another accuser, Kristin Anderson, tells "The Washington Post", Trump reached pushed up her skirt and groped her back in the '90s.</s>KRISTIN ANDERSON, TRUMP ACCUSER: He did touch my vagina through my underwear.</s>ACOSTA: Both women say they came forward after seeing Trump bragged about grabbing women's genitals at a hot mic moment caught on camera.</s>TRUMP: You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy.</s>ACOSTA: And after other women surface to share their stories of alleged abuse as Jessica Leeds did on "</s>AC360". COOPER: Did he actually kiss you?</s>JESSICA LEEDS, TRUMP: Yes, yes.</s>COOPER: On the face? On the lips?</s>LEEDS: Wherever he could find a landing spot, yes.</s>ANDERSON: After that I was like, OK, you know, what? Let me just back these girls up, you know? That's not OK.</s>ACOSTA: Trump says Anderson's account is false.</s>TRUMP: One came out recently, where I was sitting alone in some club. I really won't sit alone that much. Honestly folks. I don't think I sit alone -- I go in with groups of people -- I was sitting alone like this. And then I went wah. It's like unbelievable.</s>ACOSTA: And he casts doubts on Leeds' story by suggesting she wasn't attractive enough for him to assault her.</s>TRUMP: Oh I was with Donald Trump in 1980. I was sitting with him on an airplane. And he went after me on the plane. Yes, I'm going to go after you. Believe me, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell you.</s>ACOSTA: Trump's running mate Mike Pence says he has faith in the man at the top of the ticket.</s>GOV. MIKE PENCE (R), VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Donald Trump has asserted that all of these recent unsubstantiated allegations are categorically false and I do believe him.</s>ACOSTA: And Pence politely pushed back on First Lady Michelle Obama, who denounced Trump's behavior.</s>MICHELLE OBAMA, FIRST LADY: I can't believe I'm saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexual assaulting women.</s>PENCE: I have a lot of respect for the first lady and the job that she's done for the American people over the last seven and a half years, but I don't understand the basis of her claim.</s>COOPER: Jim Acosta joins us now. Donald Trump, his vice presidential pick and members of his campaign promise evidence that they say refutes this allegations against him. Did they produce anything?</s>ACOSTA: Not much, Anderson. Just a statement officially from the campaign about the allegations made by Summer Zervos. We can put that up on screen. It says, quote, "I vaguely remember Ms. Zervos as one of the many contestants on "The Apprentice" over the years. To be clear, I never met hear at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade go. That is not who I am as a person and it is not how I conducted my life. In fact, Ms. Zervos continued to contact me for help, emailing my office on April 14th of this year, asking that I visit her restaurant in California." And just a few moments ago, Anderson, Donald Trump said all of these allegations coming from these accusers are 100 percent false. He went on to make these claims that he's the victim of a grand conspiracy involving the Clinton campaign and the media. Anderson, the only forces working against Donald Trump tonight were technical forces. His teleprompter broke. And so he's in and out speaking the first time we c can recall in a couple of months. Anderson, earlier this weekend he said he was unshackled. Without these teleprompters, he certainly is -- Anderson.</s>COOPER: All right. Jim Acosta -- Jim, thanks very much. Again, it is seven days since the tape came out and at least eight women have come forward. Kristin Anderson is a photographer. In the early '90s, she was a model. Her encounter with Donald Trump she says happened at a Manhattan nightclub. She says it lasted less than half a minute. The memories, she says, have lasted now half a lifetime. They came rushing back last Friday. "The Washington Post's" Karen Tumulty broke story. Ms. Anderson joins us now for her first live television interview. Kristin, thanks so much for being with us.</s>KRISTIN ANDERSON, TRUMP ACCUSER: Thanks.</s>COOPER: If you could first of all take me back to that night. What happened?</s>ANDERSON: I was sitting on the couch with my girlfriends.</s>COOPER: This is at a club.</s>ANDERSON: It was at a club. And I was talking to them. And next thing I know there is a hand up my skirt. And I basically just pushed the hand away, turned and looked, got up off the couch. And we all moved. It was very packed. There were people everywhere, as it was then. And I recognized the eyebrows right away. And I turned to my girlfriends and I was like, "Who's this dude?" And they're like, "Oh, that's Donald Trump." And I (ph) go, "Yes, that's Donald Trump, the eyebrows." And I was like, you know, "He just stuck his hand up my skirt. Ew." And we just sort of went off the rest of our night. We moved and that was that.</s>COOPER: Did he say anything to you before or after that or during it?</s>ANDERSON: No.</s>COOPER: Have you seen that you were sitting next to Donald Trump?</s>ANDERSON: I did not see that I was sitting next to him. I wasn't aware of that. I was talking to somebody here. And if you have ever been to a nightclub, that's a hot one, you know, you could be sitting next to people that you don't know. It's very easy.</s>COOPER: Do you remember what club it was?</s>ANDERSON: I'm pretty sure it was China Club, because I remember the red velvet couches.</s>COOPER: And do you know -- one of the things Donald Trump said today is that he rarely went out alone. He wouldn't have been sitting alone. Was he sitting alone? Was he sitting with other people? Do you know?</s>ANDERSON: Well, the place was very packed and very crowded. That he was alone, I doubt it. I didn't see who he was with but there were people everywhere. I mean, he could have been sitting there alone in the midst of a crowd. I don't know. That -- you know, he was sitting next to me.</s>COOPER: Did you say anything to Donald Trump when he did this?</s>ANDERSON: I didn't. I just got up and sort of made very quick eye contact and just moved.</s>COOPER: When you made eye contact did he acknowledge you at all? Or --</s>ANDERSON: No, just sort of a quick glance. It was sort of like -- nothing really. It was very nothing.</s>COOPER: Did your friends see what happened? Or did you talk to them about what happened?</s>ANDERSON: Well, right then I did. And they were all like, "Well, that's Donald Trump." And I said, "He just put his hand up my skirt." Unfortunately, I'm not in contact with those people anymore. But quite a few of my other friends who I saw recently afterwards, of course, I told all them.</s>COOPER: At the time --</s>ANDERSON: And, you know, we had a conversation about it.</s>COOPER: At the time, what did you think about it? I mean, it is -- it is a startling -- I mean that is a startling thing to have happen.</s>ANDERSON: Yes. I -- I don't know, to be honest. It was one of those things that happened really quickly. And I pushed him off and moved away. And I sort of didn't really ponder on it that long. And I didn't tell anybody. I've seen a few people, like, oh, you should have said something. Yes, say what? To who? Like --</s>COOPER: Do you feel if you had said something to the club management or security or something like that? Did you think about that at all?</s>ANDERSON: I thought about it now. Could I have said something? Maybe. But, you know, who am I going to tell? So, I go to the club manager and I'd say, Donald Trump put his hand up my skirt. They will be like, yes. And they'll go to him and say, did you do this? And he'll say no. And where do we go from there? It's kind of like where we are now. So, it's -- you know? He's saying no. And there are a ton of women saying, yes, and more will come out because if this was that nonchalant, there is no way he didn't it to many other people.</s>COOPER: At the time, did you consider it sexual assault?</s>ANDERSON: No. I didn't think of it that way, no. But assault in my mind meant something else. You know, hitting is assault. And I was very unaware with -- unaware of, you know, mental abuse, manipulation, bullying. I mean that is just straight up bullying. And maybe not exactly what happened to me but certainly what happened to some of these other girl whose didn't get up and leave very quickly.</s>COOPER: I'm wondering one week ago when the "Access Hollywood" tape came out with Donald Trump and with Billy Bush on the bus and the comments, was it -- I'm wondering what you thought or felt when you heard that, when you saw that?</s>ANDERSON: Well, a girlfriend of mine told me about it, actually. I don't really keep up with the news. And I don't really keep with politics. So, she was like, "Kristin, you have to watch this video. You can't believe it. You know, because this happened to you." And so, I watched the video. And I was like wow, that's horrifying. It's horrifying. And I really felt for the girl walking into it. Like when he comes off the bus and she walks right up and she walks right into it, had no why idea what he was just saying. And it's --</s>COOPER: I actually want to play that just for your viewers so they know specifically what you are referencing. Let's watch that.</s>DONALD TRUMP: Hello. How are you? Hi.</s>ARIANNE ZUCKER: Hi, Mr. Trump. How are you? Pleasure to meet you.</s>TRUMP: Nice seeing you. Terrific, terrific. You know Billy Bush?</s>BILLY BUSH: Hello, nice to see you. How you doing, Arianne?</s>ZUCKER: I'm doing very well, thank you. Are you ready to be a soap star?</s>TRUMP: We're ready. Let's go. Make me a soap star.</s>BUSH: How about a little hug for the Donald? He just got off the bus.</s>ZUCKER: Would you like a little hug, darling?</s>TRUMP: Absolutely. Melania said this was OK.</s>COOPER: So, it was that moment in particular.</s>ANDERSON: That moment in particular really was very nauseating to me, nauseating.</s>COOPER: Can I ask? What was it about that particular moment? Because, obviously, there were comments before but something about her walking into the situation not knowing what had happened? Is that --</s>ANDERSON: Well, I guess when the talk of what was going on in the bus was upsetting, obviously. And then I understood, like, oh this is -- you know, here is a man who thinks he can do whatever he wants and deny it and get away with it. But when she walks into it, it's like innocence walking into like the devil's den. It's scary. I felt scared for her. And probably nothing happened to her. But maybe it could have. It could have. And it happened to other women. So, it was scary to me. I felt like that little fear like ooh.</s>COOPER: We're going to talk to Ariane Zucker later on tonight. Donald Trump as you probably know has attacked many of the women who have come forward. He's implied some of the accusers want 15 minutes of fame. Some, he's attacked their looks. He's called them liars. His campaign has called your story a phony allegation. Says you are looking for free publicity. Why did you decide to come forward and tell what you say happened to you?</s>ANDERSON: Well, mostly because there are many, many women who most -- these things happened to. And not just with Donald Trump but many men, who feel that they can just take advantage of women and the women don't say anything. And I was just talking to a man not two minutes ago who said it's only 20 percent of adult women who actually report rape. That's adult women. Not, you know, young women who still, you know, haven't come into their power yet. And just being able to, you know, come out and say it and have other women come out and say it. It is OK to say it. Say it. Somebody has to say it. Otherwise, we're just being quiet and letting it happen. And also, like I said before, it's sort of a gateway. So, yes, he stuck his hand up my skirt. Was it hurt? No. Is it traumatized my whole life? No. But I let it slide. And what's the next thing that you let slide? And the next thing and the next things and when is it OK and where do you draw that line? When is that assault? Because, if you can just grab a girl, you know, grab her boobs or just throw her down and kiss her and that's not assault and that's OK? I don't -- I don't get that. I don't get that. So it would be nice to have some sort of system in place to allow these women to come forward and not be, sort of demonized or called all sorts of names. I've been called all sorts of names today. So, yes.</s>COOPER: Yes. Kristin, I want to just take a quick break. I want to if we can continue the conversation after the break. I'll just be away for a just a few minutes. We'll be right back for more with Kristin Anderson.
