Donald Trump married his third wife, Melania, in 2005 — but that didn’t stop him from repeatedly proposing to Playboy playmate Brande Roderick and boasting to whoever cared to listen how badly he wanted to “f–k” her, a scathing report charges.
The Daily News could not independently confirm Trump’s apparent obsession over Roderick, which was reported by the Daily Beast Wednesday and based on allegations made by three former “Apprentice” employees.
The staffers — speaking on the condition of anonymity — said Trump began pursuing Roderick after inviting her as a contestant on the show’s eighth season, which aired in 2009.
“(Trump) kept proposing to her and telling her how beautiful she was. I think he was trying to be charming,” one of the Daily Beast sources said. “It was typical Donald…(and) creepy.”
Roderick, who married former Denver Broncos linebacker Glenn Cadrez in 2007, was invited back for the show’s 13th rendition — and Trump jumped right back to hounding her.
“He kept asking repeatedly again, saying he wanted her as his wife,” an ex-staffer said.
Trump’s purported obsession slipped into the public eye when “Apprentice” contestant Bret Michaels during one of the show’s so-called “boardroom” sessions described how Roderick had gotten on her knees and pleaded not to get fired.
Trump, sitting adjacent from Michaels and Roderick, was enthused by the image.
“Must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees,” Trump said with a grin, making sexual implications that would be brought up by Fox News host Megyn Kelly two years later during the first Republican primary debate.
Trump’s creepy fixation for Roderick only grew more graphic and harshly worded as the show progressed, a second staffer said.
“I would f–k her, take her now,” the staffer recalls Trump saying during production.
“He would say really gross s–t about her all the time, sometimes in the boardroom,” the staffer continued. “He would comment all the time saying how ‘incredibly beautiful’ she was, with this ‘gorgeous and perfect body.'”
The salacious allegations against the Republican nominee come as at least 14 women have accused him of sexual assault in light of the release of a 2005 hot mic recording that caught him bragging about being able to “grab (women) by the p—y” because he’s “a star.”
Neither the Trump campaign nor a representative for Roderick responded to requests for comment on the Daily Beast story Wednesday evening.
Roderick has previously defended Trump when asked about his “dropping to your knees” comment.
“I actually didn’t even remember him saying that,” she said on MSNBC last year. “He’s never been disrespectful to me. I don’t condone men being derogatory, but I think he was just — he’s on television, he’s trying to be funny I don’t think that he meant anything horrible by it.”
But the “Apprentice” sources beg to differ.
“She definitely became something of a sexual obsession to him, and everyone could see it,” one staffer said. “Again, that wasn’t shocking to anyone on the show. At that point, after many years, it was just him being Trump.”
