Dr. Larissa Portnoff Accuses Trump and Musk of Exploitative Conduct
Psychologist alleges repeated unwanted contact and predatory behavior from high-profile public figures.
1New Allegations Surface
New York psychologist Dr. Larissa Portnoff has publicly accused Donald Trump of seeking private meetings years after allegedly abusing her at age eight. Portnoff detailed these claims on her Instagram account, identifying a political fixer who allegedly contacted her repeatedly via text and phone calls for nearly one year to arrange meetings.
2Specific Meeting Requests
Portnoff claims she was repeatedly invited to meet Trump at specific New York locations, including Bobby Van's restaurant and the Waldorf Astoria. She alleges a specific invitation to a Yankees game on September 11, where she was reportedly asked to sit separately from the media to maintain privacy during the encounter.
3Questioning Public Conduct
The psychologist publicly questioned Trump's behavior, contrasting his alleged private pursuit of her with his public appearances. She specifically referenced his attendance at a Knicks game with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, asking how he could engage in such public family displays while allegedly pursuing these private, inappropriate meetings with her.
4Elon Musk Accusations
Beyond Trump, Portnoff accused billionaire Elon Musk of approaching her and her friends at various private gatherings. She alleged that Musk appeared at a small dinner in the Hamptons and described invitations to art openings and meditation retreats, which she claims were utilized as mechanisms to target and exploit young women.
5Systemic Exploitation Claims
Portnoff alleged that several of these proposed gatherings involved concealed hosts and the use of non-disclosure agreements. She further claimed that participants faced significant pressure to engage in drug use or sexual activities, characterizing these events as predatory environments designed to target young women under the guise of social or artistic gatherings.
6Timeline of Encounters
The allegations span multiple years, with Portnoff citing specific encounters or contact attempts occurring in 2017, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025. These claims suggest a persistent pattern of behavior rather than isolated incidents, though the allegations have not been independently substantiated by any external investigations or provided documentation at this current time.
7Concerns Over Confidentiality
Portnoff raised serious concerns regarding improper access to confidential reports. She alleged that individuals who provided information to the US Senate were subsequently approached by these figures. While she did not provide specific documents or identify the reports, she highlighted the potential breach of privacy for those involved in official reporting processes.
8Public Demand for Cessation
Concluding her statement, Portnoff issued a direct public appeal for the contact to stop immediately. She explicitly demanded that Trump, Musk, and their inner circles stay away from her and her associates. This public declaration serves as a formal rejection of all previous invitations and a warning against any future unwanted communication attempts.
