Melania Rips Ivana Trump For Saying She’s The Real First Lady: ‘Self-Serving Noise’ to ‘Sell Books’
“I’m basically first Trump wife,” Ivana Trump said with a laugh on Good Morning America Monday. “I’m first lady.”
Her comments, it seems, did not go over well with the actual first lady.
In a statement issued by her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham (seen below via NBC’s Benjy Sarlin), Melania Trump blasted her husband’s first wife for her statements on GMA.
“There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex,” Grisham said. “Unfortunately only attention seeking and self-serving noise.”

It’s the kind of public spat in which Melania’s husband — President Donald Trump — routinely engages. But for Melania, this type of squabble is rare. And this type of harsh rebuke, rarer still.
Ivana Trump has made several headline-grabbing comments during her book promotion tour. In another interview, she claimed that her ex-husband offered her the ambassadorship to the Czech Republic. She also bashed his second wife, Marla Maples.
