Marlee Matlin Responds To Reports Donald Trump Mocked Her For Being Deaf

On Thursday, three sources told the Daily Beast that Trump would consistently make fun of Matlin's voice and treat her as if she were mentally disabled. But because of a non-disclosure agreement, no one could speak of the comments without facing legal retaliation. It actually sounded a lot like what he did [to] the New York Times guy.The source said this incident occurred outside the boardroom, during a break from filming.

According to The Daily Beast, Trump mimicked and demeaned the star and suggested she was mentally handicapped. [It] sounded like he got a real kick out of it. The anonymous staffer said, "It was really upsetting".

Separately, "Survivor" victor Richard Hatch, who competed against Matlin on "The Celebrity Apprentice", told People magazine that Trump made "sexual comments" to the actress. The Trump campaign did not immediately return Romper's request for comment. They said that Trump made an "insensitive" remark regarding her deafness to Matlin's face, and "She responded [to him], she stood up for herself". One recalled a time when Trump, who often took notes during scenes taking place in the show's boardroom, wrote on a piece of paper "Marlee, is she retarded??".

Jessica Leeds, the 74-year-old former traveling businesswoman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her three decades ago on a first-class flight to NY, is now the target of a high-reaching doxing campaign. He is seriously one of the most twisted, foul humans I can think of, which would be just fine if America kept him locked up in Trump Tower. Hopefully, they'll vote. Marlee Matlin has already announced what she's going to do: vote for Hillary Clinton.

"He would kind of do these mock voices", said a source who witnessed Trump doing it. "[Matlin] was a popular person on the show.

Hatch also went on to describe the sexual nature of Trump's conversations on set.
