Ungaro had already made headlines weeks earlier due to reports surrounding Paolo Zampolli, a businessman and former modeling agent who allegedly played a role in connecting Melania Trump with Donald Trump. According to those reports, Zampolli was also involved in Ungaro’s life, having been her former partner and the father of her child. Their relationship reportedly ended in a bitter custody dispute, during which Ungaro claimed she was deported from the United States with assistance tied to political connections.
Further adding to the controversy are Ungaro’s claims about her past. She alleges that she was brought to the United States at the age of 17 by Jean-Luc Brunel, a modeling agent who has been publicly linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Ungaro suggests that these connections placed her within a troubling network tied to exploitation, though these claims remain part of her personal account and have not been independently verified in full detail.
