Yeah, same here. There was a video circulating before his first term (long before AI and deepfakes) where someone took apart an interview she did talking about “doing business” as a “model” and all the various ways her responses were common to the jargon of prostitution.
It wasn’t just one thing, it was many things, even one part where she put her hand up to her mouth like she knew she should not have said something the way she did because it was an obvious pointer to sex work.
If I can find it I’ll post it, but I haven’t seen it since 2015 or thereabouts.
It’s gone, or at least as far as I can tell. It would have come out roughly around the same time she sued the Daily Mail for the same kind of story and they retracted as well.
It was not the only video or story of its kind, by far, and right now they’re ALL gone. Not just this video, but almost all first term or prior Melania interviews. There are only a handful of older Melania interviews still out there at all, at least via public search, and absolutely zero that involve the word escort, which this one had in the title. The most recent ones do look entertaining, though.
The Trump administration has quietly put forth a great deal of effort toward scrubbing the public internet for anything they don’t want out there, so I’m not really surprised.
Honestly thought this was known

Please do. I want to watch.

Damn.
Not if you consume mainstream media. The oligarchs keep their employees muzzled when it comes to specific topics.
