Marla Maples: Why Her Marriage To Donald Trump Failed

Have you ever yelled? There's just such a peacefulness about you. Well, he and I could, because we were so different, it could get a little bit combative, as you can probably imagine. Because I came in, yes, from Georgia, family values and a strong sense of spiritual growth, always wanted to be the best I can. And he came with his positive ability to see the world, make money, get out there. And so I think you always hope in a marriage that you can bring out the best in each other. But after many years, we realized we weren't, and then you have to move on. That was probably attractive, that his bravado is attractive. And you know, girls, when we're in our 20s, we want to change the men we're with. We just think, well, that love is going to make them a little softer. And you think, well, I will learn how to speak out stronger for what I believe in, because I'm a Southern girl. I often just smile and keep going. But I have my own thoughts and my own views, and it's time now to express them. What's something that would surprise us about Donald on the dating level? Like when you met, you started dating him. Is he romantic? Is he flirty? Like what's he like? Because we just see him one way, I think. Very powerful. I just think the first moment I met him, I had a sense like I'd known him before. I think it was much deeper than just whatever you might feel. We had a sense of like, if you believe in past lives or you don't, it was as if we didn't know each other. It felt like family, oddly enough. So of course he's talking about everything he owns and has. But I saw a vulnerable man, and I like vulnerability in people. I like when you've got the ability to visualize and manifest, and he has that power. Whatever his dreams are, he has the ability to move them forward. That's very attractive. But I also saw a vulnerability, which I think makes someone much more interesting. Sorry, Donald, if I'm saying you're vulnerable at a time, but he knows how to get what he wants, and that's what's important and draws the energy of people together. I think, if anything, you probably helped him, because people want to see vulnerability in other people. It draws us to them. I got to say it about Marla. There's a misconception, right, that you are classy the way you discuss this because you are a classy woman from Southern values and the whole thing. But people probably assume that it's because Donald is still paying you in life. He's not. You are on your own. Yeah, I am. The truth is there's a lot of misconceptions about, I walked away a multimillionaire. No way. You saw me working my butt off throughout school. I was always working hard. There is a mom, but I always had to work. I'm not saying that's good or bad. I like working, but nothing really comes for free. There's been folks that think he's paying me not to speak. Absolutely not true. He's the father of my child. I do not want to ever speak negative about it. Do we agree on everything? Absolutely not. We would be married if we still agreed on everything. That's called real life. That's life. How many exes really agree? I mean, they're exes for a reason, right? For a reason. And it would be a tremendous disservice to Tiffany who doesn't benefit from that. I just want that child to be right in the middle and just be able to love both of us.
