Salma Hayek implied during a radio interview on Friday, that Donald Trump may have leaked a false story about her after she denied him a date, BuzzFeed reported.
“When I met that man, I had a boyfriend and he tried to become his friend to get my home telephone number,” Hayek recalled, in Spanish, of when she was first breaking out in Hollywood. “He got my number and he would call me to invite me out.”
According to Buzzfeed, Hayek suggested that Trump felt disrespected after she turned him down and that he may have fed the National Enquirer a false story about her.
“He wouldn’t say he called, but someone told the National Enquirer,” Hayek said on Friday. “Someone told the National Enquirer — I’m not going to say who because you know that whatever he wants to come out, comes out in the National Enquirer. 
It said that he wouldn’t go out with me, because I was too short.” According to the actress, Trump still tried to pursue her even after the story had been published.
“Later, he called and left me a message. ‘Can you believe this? Who would say this? I don’t want people to think this about you.’ He thought that I would try to go out with him so people wouldn’t think that’s why he wouldn’t go out with me,” she concluded of the controversial business man. During an August appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, the Hillary Clinton supporter said that Trump should borrow her copy of US History for Dummies. Hayek is normally identified as a Mexican-American actress, however, her paternal grandfather was Lebanese. The actress says she had always been raised as Lebanese by her family.
