I thought I started a thread to debunk bad memes but can't find it so I'll do it here:

Quote:So what really happened?


Machado did act in a racy 2005 reality show broadcast on Spain’s Antena 3 TV network, scenes from which have gone viral on YouTube. The show, titled “Farm of the Famous,” is said to have shown Machado having sex with a former Mr. Spain, Fernando Acaso. 



Although neither Machado nor Acaso appeared nude in the show, Machado later admitted in various interviews that she had sex with the Spanish actor during filming.

The accusation that she was an accomplice to an attempted murder stems from her involvement with Juan Rodriguez Reggetti, now a well-known Caracas attorney.

According to media reports at the time, the controversy began after Regetti’s sister, eight months pregnant and the mother of an 11-month-old boy, committed suicide. 

Reggetti is alleged to have fired two shots at his sister’s husband, Francisco Sbert Moukso, as he was leaving a memorial service.

During the subsequent police investigation, Machado was mentioned as having driven the getaway car. She denied the accusation, saying she was filming a soap opera at the time. A judge later said there was insufficient evidence to arrest her.



The beauty queen also denied having made the threatening call to the judge, and since it came down to her word against his, the allegation went nowhere.

Alicia Machado, former Miss Universe insulted by Trump, emerges as forceful Clinton ally


Controversy has continued to dog Machado’s career in the years since, frequently putting her on the defensive. Although she has achieved a modicum of success in Venezuelan and Mexican soap operas, she has derived more fame from her off-camera activities, which are always closely followed by Venezuela’s tabloid press.


Machado posed twice for Playboy magazine, mockingly dedicating an appearance to Trump. 


She is also said to have had a romance with an alleged Mexican drug trafficker, Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, who goes by the alias "El Indio" or "El Chayan." Mexican tabloids, citing prosecutors’ investigations, reported that Vazquez is the father of Machado’s daughter, who was born in Miami in 2008.


But Machado repeatedly denied the claim and later identified Mexican businessman Rafael Hernandez as the father.

She is now a U.S citizen but remains a presence in the Venezuelan media — often because of missteps on her social media accounts, including a Twitter post in which she described North and South Korea as “the two Chinas.”

tl;dr Trump took a bunch of rumors ("not good sources" in his words) and passed them off as 100% true.  Or his supporters did.  Either way.  Wrong.
