Inside Editionalso spoke to a contestant in the 2014 pageant, Miss Sweden Camila Hanson, who said she had no negative experiences with Trump.

"I had a few conversations with him. A few interactions. He sort of popped up when you least expected it, during rehearsals. I thought he was a nice man," she said.

Machado's testimony was referenced by Clinton in the first presidential debate Monday night, when she said "He called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called this woman 'Miss Housekeeping,' because she was Latina. She has a name. Her name is Alicia Machado. She's a U.S. citizen now and you can bet she's going to vote this November."

Machado is actively campaigning for Clinton and was featured in an online ad after the debate.
