Melania Trump’s Former Top Aide Pushing for Her Own Reality Show
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the former top aide to First Lady Melania Trump during the first term, is vying for her own reality TV show.
“Melania was one chapter of my life. It’s not my story,” Wolkoff, 55, told Page Six on Monday, June 29.
In addition to assisting the First Lady, Wolkoff has since pivoted to working as a TV producer, with shows such as Gunslingers and The Trouble With Billy under her belt.
“I know something about rebuilding life after your worst chapter, and I know no one should be defined by a single moment,” she told the outlet.
A longtime friend of Trump, 56, Wolkoff was hired as an unpaid advisor in 2017. Her role did not last long, however. In February 2018, after a $26 million payment made to her event planning company received media scrutiny, Wolkoff resigned.
She later published a tell-all memoir titled Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady in which she criticized the Trump family.
“I don’t want to be defined by politics or betrayal. I want to spend my time creating stories that remind us to look beyond the headline, believe in second chances and never lose sight of the person behind the public image,” she told Page Six.
