The former Miss Universe — who has made multiple headlines after Hillary Clinton brought up her name during the first presidential debate — blames Donald Trump for the two eating disorders she developed because she says he teased her about the weight she gained after she won the crown.
She mocked his wife during an interview this week.
“I think I speak more English than her,” Machado said when asked about Melania during an interview with Cosmopolitan. “I don’t see anything about this girl. She’s a doll. She’s a decoration.” (RELATED: When Megyn Kelly Asked Miss Universe This Question About Donald Trump, She Had No Answer)
“That is how I see her,” she added.

Machado — who is now a U.S. citizen — said Trump’s teasing changed her life “forever.”
“I never been the same person after that experience,” she said. “Sometimes I didn’t want to go out anywhereI was all the time in the bathroom. That is horrible.”

She added that she was surprised when she saw Trump was running for president.
“This is a joke. Why is he coming back to my life, this guy?” she recalled thinking. “Oh no. No, no, no. It was like a bad dream. A really bad dream.”
