Summer Zervos, a one-time contestant on Donald Trump’s reality television show “The Apprentice,” has filed a law suit against the newly elected American President for denying he s*xually assaulted her.

Zervos who filed the lawsuit in New York alleged that Trump made false and defamatory statements about her in rejecting the accusation, causing her emotional and economic harm.

According to the attorney of the former reality TV show contestant, the lawsuit is focused on a stream of denials Trump aimed at her and other women accusers last October.

However, Trump’s spokeswoman Hope Hicks called the allegations “absurd.”

“More of the same from Gloria Allred,” said Hicks, referring to Zervos’ high-profile attorney. “There is no truth to this absurd story.”

Zervos is one of about a dozen women who previously accused Trump, just weeks before the Nov. 8 presidential election of making unwanted sexual advances at them.
