Mexican-born Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek has claimed Donald Trump leaked a story about her because she refused to go on a date.
Hayek in a radio interview with ‘El Show del Mandril’ on Radio Centro 93.9 on Friday said “When I met that man (Trump), I had a boyfriend and he tried to get his friend to get my home telephone number.
“He got my number and he would call me to invite me out.
Salma reportedly felt Trump felt smarted when she snubbed his invitations and allegedly tipped off a newspaper with a misleading story about her.
“He wouldn’t say he called, but someone told the National Enquirer,” the Frida actress said.
“Someone told the National Enquirer — I’m not going to say who because you know that whatever he wants to come out, comes out in the National Enquirer. It said that he wouldn’t go out with me, because I was too short.”

After the story was published, Salma said that Trump continued to call and even left her a voicemail saying that he was shocked to read such a story.
“He thought that I would try to go out with him so people wouldn’t think that’s why he wouldn’t go out with me,” Salma said.
The 50-year-old actress, who is married to businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, previously joked that Trump could borrow her U.S. History for Dummies during an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ in August.
In July, BuzzFeed News reported that Trump bought a $120,000 luxury trip with Trump Foundation money at a 2008 charity auction that included a dinner with Hayek, but never went on the trip, with tax records showing the donation was made by his foundation, not himself.
