Trump biopic with rape scene out before Nov election

September 01, 2024

A controversial biopic of Donald Trump that depicts the former president raping his wife and which has drawn legal threats from his attorneys will hit US theatres this October, it was reported on Aug 30.

Tiny indie studio Briarcliff Entertainment plans to release The Apprentice for US audiences less than a month before Trump takes on Vice-President Kamala Harris in the presidential election, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Representatives for Briarcliff did not immediately respond to AFP's queries.

The explosive film about Trump's younger years caused shockwaves at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Its most talked about scene shows Trump raping his first wife Ivana after she belittles him for growing fat and bald.

In real life, during divorce proceedings Ivana accused Trump of raping her but later rescinded the allegation. She died in 2022.
