Shedding light on the incident, Salma Hayek told Trevor Noah, “I was at an event with my boyfriend… He (Trump) put his jacket on my shoulders as I was rubbing my shoulders because it was cold. (he was) so charming, so nice, super nice. He said I’m sorry your girlfriend – I saw she was cold… He kept talking to my boyfriend, and then he befriended my boyfriend, invited him to dinner and then he was like, ‘If you guys are in New York, you can come to Atlantic City, you can stay in my hotel. Give me your numbers.’”
Salman Hayek then revealed that Donald Trump never talked to her then-boyfriend again, but he did call her. She said, “He’s inviting me out, and I’m like, ‘What about my boyfriend? Am I crazy?
