Trump Model Management

{{expand section|date=August 2024}}

In October 2014, Trump Model Management was sued by model Alexia Palmer. Palmer alleged that 80% of her wages were taken away from her as "expenses" and that she had been paid less than $4000 over a two-year period. The lawsuit was dismissed in March 2016.{{cite news|last=Cam|first=Deniz|title=Trump Model Management Lawsuit Dismissed By Federal Judge|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/denizcam/2016/03/23/federal-judge-dismisses-case-brought-by-jamaican-model-against-trumps-modeling-agency/|access-date=2017-07-25|work=Forbes|date=2016-03-23}}
