Former Fox & Friends host Juliet Huddy said this week that Donald Trump tried to kiss her on the lips after taking her out to lunch in Trump Tower. According to Page Six, the alleged incident took place in 2005 or 2006, which likely places it after Trump married his wife Melania in January 2005.

Huddy was a guest on WABC Radio’s Mornin’ With Bill Schulz on Thursday when she spoke about her experience with Trump.

“He took me for lunch… very public situation,” Huddy said. “He said goodbye to me in an elevator while his security guy was there, in the Trump elevator. And he went to say goodbye, and rather than kiss me on the cheek, he leaned in on the lips.”

Huddy, who accused Bill O’Reilly of sexual misconduct in 2011 and settled the case outside of court, said she didn’t feel threatened by the alleged advance, but she was shocked. “I wasn’t offended. I was kind of like, ‘Oh my god.'”

“He took me out to lunch to talk with me about potentially maybe me doing something with The Apprentice,” Huddy added. “Whatever, everything was fine. It was a weird moment. He never tried anything after that, I was never alone with him.”

After lunch, Huddy says Trump invited her and her friend, whom she was meeting after lunch, to take a tour of The Apprentice set.

Trump has been accused of making inappropriate sexual advances on women and even bragged about groping women on tape. He has since been subpoenaed due to sexual misconduct allegations, though the White House has denied any allegations of harassment or assault.

“At the time I wasn’t offended by it, I thought he was a single man and maybe he leaned in for a kiss, thinking… ‘She came out to lunch with me and maybe she was interested,'” Huddy said. But she wasn’t interested.

Years later, Trump joked about the incident in front of a studio audience when he was a guest on her show The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. According to Huddy, he turned to the audience while the cameras weren’t rolling and said, “I tried hitting on her but she blew me off.” She said he was laughing.

“Now that I’ve matured, I look at things a little bit differently,” she explained, “I still think that even if that happened I would’ve said something like, ‘Woah, woah, woah, woah,’ but at the time I was a little shocked. I thought maybe he didn’t mean to do it, maybe I leaned in wrong. But I kind of was making excuses.”
