Jessica Drake’s Secret Life: Adult Film Star Accusing Donald Trump Of Sexual Misconduct Has Quietly Dedicated Her Life To Charity

Jessica Drake is known to the world as the 11th woman to come forward and accuse Donald Trump of acting in a sexually inappropriate manner, but the adult film star has also been hiding a major part of her life from the public and even from her own fans — her vast contributions to charity.

Drake stepped forward on Saturday to accuse the Republican Party’s presidential nominee of trying to pay her for sex. Drake said she met Trump at a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, saying Trump flirted with her and later tried to get her to sleep with him — even after she had rebuffed his advances.

“He also invited me to a party; I declined,” she said (via Us Weekly). “Donald then asked me, ‘What do you want? How much?’ I told him that I couldn’t because I had to return to L.A. for work. I said that as an excuse because I didn’t want him to continue asking me, and I didn’t want to be with him. After that, I received another call from either Donald, or a male calling on his behalf, offering me $10,000. I declined again and once more gave, as an excuse, that I had to return to Los Angeles for work. I was then told Mr. Trump would allow me to use his private jet only if I accepted his private invitation.”

Drake also said Trump kissed and touched her without permission.

Jessica Drake has joined a parade of women who came forward after a 2005 video from Access Hollywood was leaked, showing Trump appearing to brag about sexually assaulting women. Trump was asked about this video at the second presidential debate, where he denied any misconduct and described the talk as “locker room banter.” That led many women to come forward saying that Trump had in fact abused them, sometimes in the exact manner he described on the video.

Some of the accusers said Trump sexually assaulted them while others, like Jessica Drake, said that he acted in an inappropriate though not necessarily illegal manner.

While she is more known for her work in the adult film industry, Jessica Drake has quietly been running charity projects on a big scale. Drake has used the fortune she has amassed in the adult film industry to kick off many charitable causes.

But Jessica Drake has not used her fame to help these charity efforts, and in fact has tried to separate her screen acting from her work with many non-profit organizations.

She did open up about the work in a 2014 interview with Vocativ, noting that her charity work has taken her all over the globe.

“I am very happy. It’s afforded me a lot of opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. The travel is a huge one. I’ve been able to see the world in a way that I would have never been able to. South Africa was a very pivotal trip for me, and I’ve been to South Africa many times now. But that first time was special. I had always worked with smaller local charity organizations, and when I started working with international organizations, it really changed the way that I looked at the world. It’s something very special to me.”

While Drake herself has kept the work quiet — reportedly trying to keep her adult film star brand separate from her charity work — it has been featured in many publications including the book The Unsexpected Story: The Real Story about the Billion Dollar Adult Entertainment Business.

Jessica Drake’s dedication to charity also draws a sharp contrast to Donald Trump’s charitable work. The real estate mogul has been accused of using his personal foundation as a way to line his own pockets, with allegations that he used the Trump Foundation to pay his personal legal fees and buy two different full-size paintings of himself.

As NBC News noted, his foundation was also used to make a contribution to Project Veritas, the controversial project led by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe. The organization has released a series of videos claiming to show Democratic insiders scheming to commit voter fraud and stir up violence at Trump’s rallies, but people featured in the video have claimed it was deceptively edited. O’Keefe first gained fame for a 2009 video claiming to show ACORN workers helping a pimp to traffic prostitutes, but later investigations cleared the group and found that O’Keefe had used deceptive editing.

While she has come forward to make her accusations against Donald Trump public, Jessica Drake remains quiet about her charity work.
