00:00Ivanka Trump has always been one of the most talked-about Trumps, but with her father now
00:04calling the White House home again, the spotlight is turned up even more, and with the extra
00:09attention comes lots of rumors.
00:11One of the juiciest whispers about Ivanka involved her relationship with her father.
00:16Donald Trump has always seemed to favor his daughter over his other children, but this
00:20seems to be far from a wholesome father-daughter relationship.
00:23In addition to making uncomfortable comments about her attractiveness to various publications,
00:27he's even taken it a step further on numerous occasions.
00:31If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her.
00:34Stop it!
00:35Oh, it's so weird!
00:36Stop it!
00:37You know what?
00:38You are sick!
00:39Moving on!
00:40Another example is when Donald and Ivanka visited The Wendy Williams Show in 2013, and
00:43his answer to a question about what the two had in common was unsettling.
00:48Well, I was going to say sex, but I can't relate there.
00:52While Ivanka has never publicly alluded to any improper relationships, this disturbing
00:56pattern of inappropriate comments makes it pretty easy to understand why the rumor gained
01:01steam.
01:02Given Donald's relationship history, people weren't exactly holding their breaths for
01:05Ivanka's marriage to Jared Kushner to be peaceful and scandal-free.
01:09So when Radar Online claimed to have insider intel of a rift between the couple, the internet
01:14was abuzz.
01:15Per the publication, a hidden informant revealed Ivanka and Jared's marriage was getting really
01:19rough, writing,
01:21They're always fighting and can barely contain their growing animosity for each other, even
01:25when they appear in public.
01:26The source also dished that the reason for their alleged tension was Kushner trying to
01:30come between Ivanka and Daddy Dearest, writing,
01:33"[Jared recognized Donald had become radioactive, and he pushed Ivanka to abandon her father
01:38for the sake of their own reputations and the future of their children.]
01:42These rumors went into overdrive when Ivanka was spotted without her ring a couple of times.
01:46So far, it doesn't seem like there is much truth to these claims since the Trump-Kushner
01:51team is still together.
01:52Outside of her relationships, multiple sources have said for years that Ivanka was an absolute
01:56nightmare while Donald was president.
01:58One of the first of these allegations came in 2018 from journalist Bob Woodward, who
02:03claimed that Ivanka's ego had led to a loud argument with Steve Bannon, a senior White
02:07House advisor at the time.
02:08According to Woodward, it led to Bannon screaming,
02:11"[You walk around this place and act like you're in charge and you're not.
02:14You're on staff."
02:16Two years later, Melania Trump's former aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, released a book
02:21that claimed that Ivanka was so overbearing, tyrannical, and controlling that Wolkoff helped
02:25Melania start Operation Block Ivanka, a plan to restrict her control over the 2016 inaugural
02:31ceremony.
02:32Despite her alleged claims to being an integral part of Donald's inner circle, more rumors
02:37claim that Ivanka may have actually gone against her father.
02:40After an FBI raid led to the discovery of a startling number of classified documents
02:44at Mar-a-Lago, many political spectators seemed to suspect that Ivanka and Jared were the
02:49ones who tipped off the feds.
02:51This included Donald Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen.
02:54I believe Jared and Ivanka are potentially the moles."
02:58Beyond Cohen, Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, revealed a similar opinion, pointing to the
03:02hefty investment Kushner's company received six months before Trump's tenure ended, alleging,
03:07"...I think we need to look very hard at why Jared got $2 billion.
03:11We need to look very hard at why he has been so quiet for so many months now."
03:15Melania and Steve Bannon allegedly weren't the only people Ivanka had issues with.
03:19The rumors of Ivanka's beef with Kimberly Guilfoyle are even more interesting now that
03:23the former attorney and Donald Trump Jr. have officially called it quits.
03:27Ivanka allegedly saw Guilfoyle as a, quote, "...social climber."
03:30And these rumors intensified at Tiffany Trump's wedding, when Ivanka had Guilfoyle cropped
03:35out of a family photo.
03:37Now that Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle are officially done, we can't help but wonder
03:41if Ivanka's reported dislike played any role in the couple calling it quits.
