<p>Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, remembers&nbsp;Trump saying&nbsp;something along the lines of,&nbsp;&quot;don&#39;t worry, ladies, I&#39;ve seen it all before&quot;.</p>

<p>Three other contestants from the same pageant, who wished to remain anonymous, also spoke of Trump entering the dressing room. Two of them rushed to put their clothes on, and called his entry&nbsp;&quot;shocking&quot; and &quot;creepy&quot;.</p>

<p>Eleven contestants from the same pageant&nbsp;said they could not recall Trump in the dressing room and that&nbsp;they doubt he could have been there.</p>

<p>This report comes on the heels of another BuzzFeed report that quoted a contestant in an adult pageant saying&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;entered her&nbsp;dressing room &quot;when we were all naked&quot;.

<p>BuzzFeed reached out to 49 of the 51 contestants&nbsp;and managed to get in touch with 15, none of whom accused Trump of saying anything sexually inappropriate or of making physical contact in the dressing room.</p>

<p>But Mr Trump&#39;s treatment of women has come under intense&nbsp;scrutiny since the release of a 2005 tape wherein&nbsp;Trump bragged about grabbing women &quot;by the pu**y&quot;, and admitted he &quot;did try and f*ck&quot; a married woman, at a time while he himself was newly married. He dismissed the tape of him describing his actions&nbsp;as &quot;locker room talk&quot; during the presidential debate, and also before it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump owned three major American beauty pageants, from 1996 until last year. He has publicly bragged about being able to enter women&#39;s changerooms&nbsp;in 1995, when he spoke to the famous radio personality&nbsp;Howard Stern:</p>

<p>BuzzFeed&#39;s report about Miss Teen USA is the first to&nbsp;involve him walking into dressing rooms with&nbsp;females inside&nbsp;as young as&nbsp;14&nbsp;years of age, up to 19.</p>

<p>CBS has spoken to a few other contestants from other pageants whose charges are similar to the BuzzFeed report.</p>

Teen beauty contestants say Donald Trump walked into their dressing room while changing

<p>In the first US presidential debate of 2016 Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump&#39;s attitude&nbsp;towards women, citing the case of&nbsp;the former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado, of Venezuela. Machado was crowned&nbsp;in 1996, the year&nbsp;Trump bought Miss Universe Inc. She was 18 years old at the time.</p>

<p>Clinton has since published this video about how Trump treated&nbsp;Machado on her&nbsp;Twitter feed and&nbsp;has&nbsp;featured it prominently on her website:</p>

<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U8ZM58O_gBo" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>In it, Machado says that when she&nbsp;put&nbsp;on weight after winning Miss Universe, Trump&nbsp;threatened to take her crown away, and called her &quot;Miss Piggy&quot;, and, because she is Latina, &quot;Miss Housekeeping&quot;.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;He was overwhelming, I was very scared of him. He&#39;d yell at me all the time. He&#39;d tell me &#39;you look ugly&#39;, or &#39;you look fat.&#39;&quot;</p>

<p>The worst humiliation came one day when, without warning,&nbsp;he called reporters to watch and record&nbsp;her working out in a gym.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;I wouldn&#39;t eat, and I would still see myself as fat, because a powerful man had said so.&quot; Machado says she was sick for years after, with eating disorders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Around the&nbsp;time<a href="http://www.thewrap.com/miss-universe-alicia-machado-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-ad/"> this was happening</a>&nbsp;Trump spoke of it&nbsp;on the Howard Stern show, and he&nbsp;called her an &quot;eating machine&quot;. He also&nbsp;told Newsweek: &quot;We&#39;ve tried diet, spa, a trainer, incentives. Forget it, the way she&#39;s going, she&#39;d eat the whole gymanium.&quot;</p>

<p>This supports Clinton&#39;s claim that the Republican presidential candidate has an&nbsp;unhealthy&nbsp;attitude about women. In another recent Clinton ad, young girls are depicted looking at themselves in the mirror set against&nbsp;clips of Trump speaking&nbsp;about how he judges&nbsp;women&#39;s appearance. The question is raised,&nbsp;&quot;Is this the president we want for our daughters?&quot;.</p>
