‘The Valley’ Star Nia Booko Recalls Using Taekwondo Skills On Donald Trump’s “Creepy” Friends When They Came To Miss Universe Pageant

One of Donald Trump‘s “creepy” friends learned the hard way what happens when you mess with a beauty queen who also happens to be a fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo.

In the latest episode of Bravo’s The Valley, star Nia Booko — who won the Miss USA title in 2014 — remembers a particularly unpleasant experience she had while competing in Miss Universe, the pageant franchise that was once owned by Trump.

“I started taekwondo when I was eight years old and achieved all the way up to my fourth degree black belt,” she explains her confessional interview. “When I was competing for Miss Universe, Donald Trump brought in all his creepy, older, wealthy friends to watch us rehearse.”

According to Nia, one of the former president’s friends allegedly “grabbed” her by the waist and “pulled” her closer to him without her consent.

“I grabbed his hand and twisted it around and I was like, ‘You can never touch me again, thank you very much. I’m a black belt and if you try that again you’re gonna be hurt,'” she recalls.

Nia and her husband Danny Booko — an actor who appeared on episodes of iCarly and Hannah Montana — joined their pals Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute in the Vanderpump Rules spinoff The Valley, which follows a group of friends as they navigate the next chapter of their lives.

“I want to be Danny and Nia when I grow up,” Doute says in the show’s trailer. “They are couple goals, family goals.”

In the first episode, we meet the sleep-deprived Booko couple — who are parents to newborn twins and a toddler. As one of the most stable relationships on the show, they’ve largely refrained from the drama thus far — although, Nia did become upset with Taylor after he pantsed her husband at their friend’s birthday party.

The Valley airs on Tuesday night’s at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
