Karen McDougal Career

McDougal learned ballet and tap dance as a child. Her earliest dream was to become a ballerina before she became a teacher and model. She participated in cheerleading, marching band, color guard, softball, volleyball, and was a four-year Michigan state champion clarinetist while attending River Valley High School.

McDougal worked as a pre-kindergarten teacher before winning a swimwear competition, which launched her career as a glamour, promotional, and swimsuit model. Since her appearances in Playboy, she has expanded her career into a wide range of mainstream media appearances, including other magazine modeling, television commercials, and minor acting, with varying degrees of success.

Being the first woman to appear on the cover of Men’s Fitness magazine, she has been a popular fitness model who has been featured in many magazines. She starred in the direct-to-video movie The Arena, which served as the inspiration for a doll and a fantasy art sculpture.

She costarred with Lisa Dergan in the 2001 direct-to-video picture The Arena, which was directed by Timur Bekmambetov and produced by Roger Corman. Russia was the setting for the entire production.

Family & Relationships

She is the oldest daughter of a family consisting of three older brothers, Bob, Dave, and Jeff, as well as a younger sister, Tina. McDougal was born in Merrillville, Indiana, close to Gary. Her mother, Carol, remarried when she was nine years old, and the family moved to Sawyer, Michigan, where she remained until she attended college.

In November 2016, the Wall Street Journal revealed to a friend that McDougal had an affair with a married Donald Trump between 2006 and 2007. According to different sources, the affair lasted anywhere from ten months to a year. Additionally, it said that although American Media, Inc. (AMI), the National Enquirer’s owner, paid McDougal $150,000 for the exclusive rights to her story, the story was never published.

On December 5, 2019, McDougal sued Fox News for defamation. The lawsuit alleges that network host Tucker Carlson defamed McDougal by asserting that she directly coerced Trump into paying her hush money in 2016.
