TRUMP: NDA ENFORCEMENT / LITIGATION INVOLVING TRUMP (NOEL CASLER)

Alleged Facts:

According to People Magazine, and the video below, comedian and former Celebrity Apprentice staffer, Noel Casler, accused Donald Trump of recreational drug use and inappropriate behavior toward young women while filming Miss Teen Universe during a stand up routine. His Twitter account is even better.

Per People:

During a stand-up set earlier this month, comedian Noel Casler, who claimed he worked on The Celebrity Apprentice for six years, recalled his time working with the president on beauty pageants in the ’90s.

He accused Trump of inspecting the contestants’ mouths with his fingers before they went on stage.

“I worked on a bunch of those beauty pageants he had in the ’90s, too. That was a good idea, Miss Teen Universe? Yeah, that’s like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show,” he said. “He would line up the girls on the side of the stage, and he would inspect them. Literally, he would stick his little freaking doll fingers in their mouth and look at their teeth.”

He also claimed he heard Trump invite the women up to his penthouse suite.

Casler continued: “I’m not kidding, this is true, he would line them up like they were pieces of meat. He’d be like, ‘You, you, and you, if you want to win I’m in the penthouse suite, come and see me.’”

Later in the set, he accused Trump of taking Adderall to help him focus while reading cue cards while filming Celebrity Apprentice. “He can’t read, so he gets really nervous,” said Casler.

Casler said that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement. “I didn’t know that he was becoming president. Now, it’s no way, dumb—, I’m telling you everything I know.”

Further, blogs have gone on to opine about the adderall comments, including this one. It’s interesting that Trump is silent despite the admission of a large NDA. Can Donald Trump not enforce it? Or do they not want to enforce NDA’s from “The Apprentice”?

The Tweets:

Non Disclosure Agreement / Non Disparage Agreement:

Casler admits to having a NDA while working at “The Apprentice”. It is unknown if this is a “Trump” oriented NDA or one drafted by the production company. It is also unknown why they aren’t seeking to enforce it or if Trump can enforce it. He’s been beaten on a wrongly named NDA before. We don’t hear about these things often because of the secrecy of arbitration.

Legal Issues:

“The Apprentice” NDA’s may not be enforceable by Donald Trump or his organizations and the producers may not want them enforced for fear of what else may come out. This is certainly some of the more outrageous facts about Donald Trump which exist in the public sector. Failure to prosecute this certainly raises questions about why he prosecutes claims of others, particularly when he has a NDA on the line.
