Melania Trump as Margo: The Real-Life Inspiration Behind 'The Hunting Wives' Controversial Character

EXCLUSIVE SCOOP: The Hunting Wives Star Malin Akerman Spills Tea on Melania Trump Inspiration and More!

The highly-anticipated Netflix drama, The Hunting Wives, has been making waves with its juicy plot twists and scandalous storylines. And now, star Malin Akerman is dishing out the tea like never before! In an explosive interview, Akerman revealed that the show's creative team used none other than Melania Trump as a muse for her character, Margo.

But here's the kicker: it wasn't just a passing reference. The entire storyline was inspired by Melania's own tumultuous marriage to Donald Trump, where she went from being a relatively unknown model to becoming the First Lady of the United States. Akerman spilled the beans on how the show's writers took creative liberties with Melania's story.

"Margo is a bit like Melania Trump," Akerman said in an interview with Vulture. "Someone who 'came into a marriage to this rich man as one woman,' then finds out that the expectations for her have shifted once he becomes politically ambitious." That's right, folks! Margo's character is essentially a darker, more twisted version of Melania, and we can't get enough of it!

But wait, there's more! Akerman also drew from her own experiences with high-society types to bring Margo to life. As someone who has mingled with aristocrats and the upper crust, Akerman knows exactly how those people play the game.

"It's just high society," she said with a wink. "I've seen the games that go into it. For lack of a better word, I wouldn't say 'authenticity' is how those people lead." Ouch! Looks like someone's got some secrets to spill!

The Hunting Wives has been making headlines for its explicit content and scandalous storylines. The show combines murder mystery with erotic drama, featuring full-frontal nudity, same-sex encounters, and messy, no-holds-barred passion. It's been compared to Big Little Lies and Desperate Housewives, but with far more explicit scenes.

Forbes reviewer Dana Feldman called it "the most salacious book-to-screen adaptation since Fifty Shades of Grey." And we can see why! The show's writers aren't afraid to push boundaries and take risks, resulting in a truly unforgettable viewing experience.

But what really has people talking is the scene where Margo says, "Open marriages are for liberals, Jed and I have an arrangement." It's like she's speaking straight from the horse's mouth – or should we say, the First Lady's lips!

Meanwhile, Melania Trump has been keeping a relatively low profile during her husband's second term in office. But when someone dares to cross her, watch out! Just last week, her lawyer compelled Democratic strategist James Carville and his Politics War Room podcast to delete and edit comments about her that linked her early modeling career to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump's lawyer," Carville told listeners. "He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady. We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode." Looks like someone's got some 'splainin' to do!

The Hunting Wives has been an instant streaming hit since its debut on July 21, and it's easy to see why. With its scandalous storylines, explicit content, and A-list cast, this show is must-watch TV for anyone who loves a good guilty pleasure.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready to dish out the tea with The Hunting Wives!
