Ana Navarro, co-host of “The View,” has ignited a storm of controversy by posting a nude photo of Melania Trump on Instagram, drawing the ire of millions of conservatives.
Context and Reactions
Navarro's post was intended as a defense of Vice President Kamala Harris, who has faced increased online attacks since her promotion to the top of the Democratic ticket. Navarro, known for her vocal criticism of former President Donald Trump and his administration, took a drastic step in retaliation to the scrutiny Harris has faced over her dating history.
The Post That Sparked Outrage
Navarro, 52, shared a nude image of Melania Trump from a January 2000 GQ photo shoot, alongside a photo of the Trumps at a party with convicted sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In her post, Navarro wrote, “Some Republicans are out there on TV and social media making vile sexual remarks about Kamala Harris and wanting to make her dating history an issue. This country deserves a debate on real issues, affecting us all. But you want to make this an issue? Bring it on.”
Supporters' Responses
Many Trump supporters condemned Navarro's actions:
- “Shame on Ana Navarro using a GQ Photoshoot picture of Melania to make a salacious point. Melania was a model, it is what they do, pose in all sorts of photos. Ana is no republican, she is a traitor. I stopped watching the View,” said one.
- “Women tearing down other women is a form of self-hate. There is no reason outside of envy and hate should another woman open their mouths to tear down another woman,” added another.
Background and Previous Controversies
Navarro's post came on the heels of J.D. Vance's controversial comments labeling women like Harris as “childless cat ladies.” This statement was part of a broader critique Vance made about the influence of childless leaders in the Democratic Party.
Navarro's co-host, Whoopi Goldberg, also voiced her outrage at Vance's remarks, defending those who choose not to have children or cannot have them.
Navarro has a history of sharp remarks about the former first lady. She criticized Melania Trump's cyberbullying campaign in 2016, and in 2018, she questioned the sincerity of the campaign, suggesting a lack of self-awareness. During discussions about Trump's 2018 visit to the U.S.–Mexico border, Navarro commented on the complexity of the Trumps' marriage.
Melania Trump's Upcoming Memoir
Amidst the controversy, Melania Trump announced her memoir set to release in the fall. Titled simply “Melania,” the book promises to provide a powerful and inspiring story, detailing her life and accomplishments. It will be available in two editions, both currently up for pre-order on MelaniaTrump.com.

You have be completely brainless to even watch “The. View” but then again we have a lot of brainless people living among us and these are the types of entertainment they crave —-nothing substantial11 I hope Melania sues Navarro for lude defamation and character assassination !
The First Lady had a career in modeling and she was then and is now a beautiful woman. Sad that they chose to attack her, but consider the source and it’s no surprise.
those so called women on the hate show the View are just jealous that the don’t have a nice body like Melania Trump. Although I understand that Joy Baher likes to go to nudist camps.
I plain and simply cannot wait for the day all the witches of “The View” are arrested by the Marines. That is on the books. It’s taking too long!
