Donald Trump Movie ‘The Apprentice’ Ignites Controversy in Cannes Over Rape Scene
'The Apprentice' ignited controversy at Cannes due to a scene in which Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan) has nonconsensual sex with Ivana (Maria Bakalova).
In Ali Abbasi’s “ The Apprentice,” Trump (played by Sebastian Stan) violently throws his then-wife Ivana (Maria Bakalova) to the ground and proceeds to have nonconsensual sex with her.

In a likely bid to avoid litigation, the Trump origin story opens with a disclaimer that it is based on true events, but some of the characters’ names were changed.
