Mindy McGillivray said on Friday she plans to leave the U.S. because she is worried about her family’s safety after accusing Donald Trump earlier this week of groping her in 2003.
“We feel the backlash of the Trump supporters. It scares us. It intimidates us. We are in fear of our lives,” McGillivray told the Palm Beach Post.
The 36-year-old Florida resident said after coming forward with her story that Trump randomly grabbed her rear at a concert at the Republican nominee’s Mar-a-Lago resort, she has noticed people driving by her house and is concerned Trump supporters could come after her.
“I look out the window and there are cars just driving around the house and looking, slowing down right at the house,” she said. “I don’t live in a gated community. This is dangerous. There could be people out there who want to hurt us.”
McGillivray said she left her home after the incident and has been staying at a hotel the past three days. She is considering taking her 15-year-old and fleeing to Canada until things cool down.
Despite coming forward as one of seven women to have accused Trump of inappropriately touching them, McGillivray said she does not regret sharing her story.
