Former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff broke her silence to reassert her claim against Donald Trump in 2005, saying "we cannot be silent anymore," in the latest issue of the magazine.

"Women are talking about this, and they need to," Stoynoff told People. "We cannot be silent anymore. I didn't tell my story for politics, I told it for women."

Stoynoff came forward last week, one of several women to bring accusations against Trump, claiming that the GOP nominee stuck his tongue down her throat at his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago in 2005 while she was there penning a feature on the one-year anniversary between him and current wife, Melania.

Stoynoff has said Melania was out of the room when the incident took place.

Both Trump and Melania have separately disputed the story and denied it happened, with Melania threatening to bring a lawsuit against the magazine. Calling the story "completely fabricated," Donald Trump said, "Take a look at her, I don't think so."

"I was obviously good-looking enough for him at the time to force-kiss me and insist that we were going to have an affair," Stoynoff told People.
