Trump's 'Access Hollywood' tape subject accuses 'Days of Our Lives' producer of harassment
The woman former President Donald Trump was talking about in his infamous "Access Hollywood" tape is suing "Days of Our Lives," claiming she was sexually harassed by a producer, reported Rolling Stone on Wednesday.
"Arianne Zucker alleges in her new complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court that former Days executive producer Albert Alarr repeatedly subjected her to unwanted sexual advances and physical touching during production – and that she was written off the show and eventually fired for reporting his alleged abuse," reported Nancy Dillon. "'Alarr would frequently grab and tightly hug plaintiff, purposely pushing her breasts onto his chest, while moaning, ‘Oh Ari!’' her complaint, obtained by Rolling Stone, reads. 'Alarr would put his hand on plaintiff’s waist, with his thumbs placed just above her vagina, and move her around, all the while smirking and grinning in a sexual manner, making plaintiff extremely uncomfortable.'"
According to the complaint, higher-ups at the show, including boss Ken Cordray, who is also named in the suit, failed to act when she took her complaints about the situation to them.

Zucker is also known for being the woman that Trump discussed when he infamously told Billy Bush on "Access Hollywood" in 2005 that he can assault women whenever he likes because he's a star.
“I better use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump said, after Bush pointed her out in an image as the person who would escort him to the set. “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab ‘em by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Trump recently came out of a defamation suit by writer E. Jean Carroll, who alleges he raped her, owing $83.3 million in damages.
