A Russian state TV channel stirred controversy by airing Melania Trump’s nude photos from a 2000 GQ shoot during a segment on Donald Trump’s 2024 election win. On 60 Minutes, hosts Yevgeny Popov and Olga Skabeyeva showed the images while discussing her possible return to the White House, with Skabeyeva struggling to hide her amusement.
Her GQ shoot resurfaced during Trump’s 2016 campign.
The broadcast ended with a montage referencing Melania’s past “my body, my choice” post. The resurfacing of her modeling past—defended by Melania as art—has reignited debate over privacy, media portrayal, and her public role as Trump reenters office.
