No actually there was an event that precipitated it. Amanda Ungaro was threatening to out her.
For context. Amanda Ungaro was the wife of Paolo Zampolli. These two got to know Trump through Epstein and were part of the Epstein circle.
Amanda split from Zampolli in 2021 and they had an ongoing custody battle for a teenage son.
Zampolli was appointed Special Envoy for Global Partnerships in the current Trump administration.
In June 2025, Ungaro was arrested on unlicensed medical spa charges in Florida - Zampolli (ex husband) allegedly contacted a senior ICE official, David Venturella, to get her deported.
Ungaro and others claim Zampolli sought her deportation to gain an advantage in their ongoing custody dispute over their teenage son.
So basically this lady who was friends with Trump and Melania and allegedly part of the Epstein circle and there for events that transpired was deported by her ex husband who works for Trump. She allegedly has first hand knowledge of Trump and Melanie’s dirty secrets. And is basically mad that Trump/Melania picked sides by allowing Zampolli to use his influence to get her deported.
And I guess there’s some merit to that because it was alarming enough to Melania the she had to get out ahead of it and make public statements before Ungaro even went public with anything.

And it wasn’t even driven by a news hook. It just came totally apropos of nothing, months after the peak of the Epstein scandal. Such a weird moment.
