In her 2024 memoir Melania, Melania Trump defends her past nude modeling as “artistic and tasteful,” attributing her open attitude to her European upbringing and comparing her work to classical art that honored the female form, while questioning media scrutiny; she also addresses immigration questions raised when the photos surfaced in 2016, maintains she followed legal procedures, and discusses other controversies like defamation claims and the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid, sparking debates about privacy, artistic expression, and public perception.
