Crawford tweeted after retweeting quotes from a BuzzFeed story alleging that Trump had walked into the dressing rooms of pageant contestants as young as age 15. “But let me just say – I believe every word,” Crawford wrote. After some encouragement from her followers, she pressed on, sharing what she alleged happened when she encountered Trump years ago.
Crawford describes the pageant as an interesting experience. According to her account on Twitter, at just 17 years old, Crawford was warned about Trump.
According to Crawford, who declined Yahoo’s requests for an interview and seems to be declining all interview requests per her Twitter account, this was her only personal experience with racism.
And if she doubted the advice, it wasn’t long before she says she saw it up close and personal. “Sure enough after I was warned about him, I saw him in action&witnessed him completely snub a black contestant at Miss Universe rehearsals,” the model and cast member of BET’s F in Fabulous tweeted. “While she was practicing on stage. Literally turned his back to the stage and made a face like he was going to vomit at the sight of her.” Crawford does allow that the action could have been initiated by something else.
n an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, sources who worked closely with Trump when he owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants claim he demonstrated a bias against women of color. According to the article, one source recalled that he did not want African-Americans in the top 10 of the Miss USA pageant. This person also said: “He was very concerned one year. He did not want one woman to win because she was Puerto Rican. He said, ‘She can’t win. Don’t get me wrong she’s a beautiful girl, I just don’t want her to win.’”
That said, a source close to the pageant, who asked to remain anonymous, tells Yahoo Beauty that she has never heard any comments about racism relative to Trump. During his ownership of the Miss Universe Organization from 1996 to 2015, the source notes that the organization “moved away from crowning the typical ‘pageant Barbie’ and moved toward crowning Latina, and somewhat later, multi-ethnic or racially ambiguous contestants.”
According to the source, Crawford “loves to be the center of attention.”

“I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, ‘Mr. Trump doesn’t like black people so don’t take it the wrong way if he isn’t extremely welcoming towards you. If he is, then u just might be the ‘type’ of black he likes,’” she tweeted. It was startling advice for the new titleholder.
