Melania Trump lookalike in T.I. striptease video gets death threats, but defends her role as an opportunity to ’empower women’
The model in rapper T.I.'s latest controversial video, who plays First Lady Melania Trump, has reportedly been getting threats for featuring in the video. The Canadian model, Melanie Marden, can be seen in the video dressed as the First Lady in her infamous 'I Don't Care, Do U?' jacket before stripping in the Oval Office. Melania Trump had received widespread criticism for being insensitive as she wore the jacket while visiting migrant children in Texas, in June.
The video's preview, which was shared by T.I. on Twitter on Tuesday, had also received a lot of flak for its content, including a post from the First Lady's spokesperson Stephanie Grisham. Grisham had said that it was "disrespectful and disgusting to portray her in this way simply because of politics."
