Mentally ill Alicia Machado is back in the spotlight lying about her former boss Donald Trump after Hillary Clinton mentioned her at the first presidential debate in an apparent act of collusion with Cosmopolitan and The New York Times.
Alicia Machado is a former Miss Universe and Venezuelan actress, who was accused of driving a getaway vehicle for a murderer and threatening to kill a judge in her native Venezuela.
There’s also video of her cheating on her fiance in 2005 up on PornHub (Link here – WARNING: NSFW!).
A real role model!
Machado has appeared in a Hillary Clinton video smearing Trump, her former boss, in Spanish.
Despite living in the United States for 20 years, Machado still barely speaks English. She decided to become a U.S. citizen only this year in order to vote against Donald Trump.
The Hillary Clinton video claims that Donald Trump “threatened to take her crown away.”
Machado also claims in the video that Donald Trump caused her years of “pain” and “eating disorders” by calling her fat.
Oh, really? Let’s rewind to the 1990s and see if that’s really true.
Rumors also surfaced that she might be forced to give up her Miss Universe crown.
But Trump, as co-owner of rights to the pageant, said he would never let that happen. “We had a choice of: termination or do this,” he said. “We wanted to do this.”
The “Fat Miss Universe” scandal could have been a breach of contract. Machado gained upwards of 40 pounds according to Trump himself. CNN reported she put on nearly 60 pounds.
Donald Trump had a choice to take away her crown as a beauty pageant winner, but chose not to.
He even defended her against reporters:
“A lot of you folks have weight problems. I hate to tell you,” Trump told the rowdy pool of reporters.
And as for Trump causing her years of eating disorders? Why don’t we ask The Washington Post in 1997:
She’s skinny again, though not quite as skinny as when she won her title. But back then, when she was declared the most beautiful woman in the world, she was just beginning her fight back from what she describes as the beauty-pageant plague.
“I was anorexic and bulimic, but almost all of us are,” Machado says without so much as a blink. “When I was preparing for Miss Universe, it was an obsession for me to not gain weight. By the time I won, I was actually recovering. But the year leading to it, I didn’t eat at all. And whatever I ate, I threw up. I weighed 116 pounds when I won. I was skeletal.”
The three weeks of events leading to the Universe pageant were torture, she says, because of all the meals she had to dodge. “There were lunches and dinners and just food and more food. I had to pretend to have headaches and menstrual cramps and anything I could think of to not come down from my hotel room.”
Media lie: BUSTED. Sounds like Alicia Machado had eating problems long before she won Miss Universe.
In fact, judging by the WaPo report above, Machado did not suffer from her “eating disorders” too much. She talked about them “without so much as a blink” and said “all” the Miss Universe contestants were anorexic and bulimic.
Sounds like Alicia Machado knew exactly what she was getting into, and did her best to win the title in order to further her later career as an actress in Venezuela — in fact, she pretty much admits the whole thing:
She’s raring to move on to an acting career, hoping to start out by doing Mexican telenovelas, like Thalia, the queen of the novelas. In fact, she’s been told she bears a resemblance to Thalia, and this pleases her.
The only thing in her way is finishing the commitment she bought into when she took that satin-sashed victory walk down a Las Vegas runway last May.

Alicia Machado repeated the same false claims today in The New York Times:
For 20 years, Alicia Machado has lived with the agony of what Donald J. Trump did to her after she won the Miss Universe title: shame her, over and over, for gaining weight.
(…)
“I was sick — anorexia and bulimia for five years,” she said in an interview with The New York Times in May. “I was 18. My personality wasn’t created yet. I was just a girl.”
Mr. Trump has acknowledged pressuring her to lose weight, saying it was her job as Miss Universe to remain in peak physical shape. On Tuesday morning, he made no apologies for that.
“She gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem,” he told Fox News.
(…)
Now, Ms. Machado is an avid supporter of Mrs. Clinton. She appeared in an ad criticizing Mr. Trump. Since her setback in 1996, her career has blossomed. She is now a well-known actress in Latin America.
But the scar, she says, still remains.
“Over the past 20 years,” Ms. Machado said, “I’ve gone to a lot of psychologists to combat this.”
Riiight. Remember: “without so much as a blink.”
Hillary Clinton was already in contact with Alicia Machado this May, congratulating her on getting U.S. citizenship:
@HillaryClinton thank you so much! and please stay with us with Latinas mothers! God bless you ! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇻🇪 @mamis_solas

And while Hillary Clinton was giving Machado the spotlight during the debate, left-wing feminist magazine Cosmopolitan‘s reporters were simultaneously profiling Machado, complete with an American flag photoshoot.
Great coincidences in campaign reporting: The Guardian & Cosmo sent reporters just before debate to profile Machado, then pubbed today.

The word for this is “collusion.” How much has Alicia Machado taken from the Clinton Foundation for her work smearing her former boss? How about Cosmopolitan?
And what has Machado been doing in the last 20 years since she put on dozens of pounds right after winning the world’s #1 beauty pageant (likely in breach of contract)?
Has she been hiding from the spotlight in shame because Donald Trump called her fat, as the Hillary Clinton video might have us believe?
Nope: since 1997, she’s had a long career as a Venezuelan soap opera and reality TV actress, even posing nude for Playboy in 2006 (Google it yourself).
Does someone with crippling anxiety about their body spend 20 years on television and pose nude for Playboy? We don’t think so.
It gets worse.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported in 1998 that Machado was seen driving the getaway vehicle for her boyfriend who had just shot his brother-in-law in the head.
Shortly thereafter, The Guardian reported that Machado had threatened to kill the judge who ordered her boyfriend’s arrest.
The exact quote was: “I am going to make it my business to ruin your career as a judge and then I am going to kill you. I don’t have much money but I am a personal friend of President Caldera.”
(Both articles are available with a quick news archive search using Nexis, though the Daily Mail is reporting it too.)
In 2005 Machado’s then-engagement was broken off after she cheated on her fiance with a fellow member of the reality show she was on — the affair was caught on video.
Alicia Machado doesn’t sound like a victim. She sounds more like a predator — no wonder she’s working with corrupt Hillary Clinton!
And how about Machado and Clinton’s claims that Donald Trump called Machado “Miss Housekeeping” and “Miss Piggy”?
Donald Trump was visibly furious when Clinton claimed that during the debate, and repeatedly asked her where she heard that. Trump is not one to shy away from an insult — so are Machado and Clinton lying?
An article about Machado from Singapore’s The Straits Times from 1997 notes that Trump called her an “eating machine.”
Nothing else. And was he wrong?
There are no references to any kinds of “Miss Housekeeping” or “Miss Piggy” insults. The only proof is Alicia Machado’s word.
And how much is that worth?
What we have here is a has-been former Miss Universe with a history of legal and personal problems back in the spotlight after acting as a political surrogate for the corrupt Clintons.
It also looks like we have coordination and collusion between Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, Machado, and the Clinton campaign, in order to spread lies about Donald Trump. Unsurprising.
It seems like lying crooked Hillary has found a perfect surrogate in lying crooked Alicia Machado. Birds of a feather flock together.
Don’t be fooled by their lies.
