Back in 1990, People magazine reported that Catherine Oxenberg, a star of the legendary TV soap “Dynasty,” called rumors about her dating Donald Trump “a complete joke as far as I’m concerned.” She added: “I hardly know the man.”
Oxenberg is 62 years old now, but that hasn’t stopped Trump. On his Truth Social today, he suddenly plugged her 2018 book about her daughter getting mixed up with a sex cult.
Trump wrote, out of nowhere: “Catherine Oxenberg is a remarkable woman who has written an incredible book, “Captive: A Mother’s Crusade to Save Her Daughter from a Terrifying Cult.” To parents across this Country, and around the World, Catherine is a powerful example of unconditional Love – NEVER GIVE UP! She is a true inspiration to us all.”
Since he posted his endorsement, no one has bought a copy of the book. It’s number 144,930 on amazon’s best seller list.
But why this sudden interest in Oxenberg? It seems she contributed $50,000 to the gofundme page established for Corey Comperatore, the fire chief who was killed when Trump was shot at the Butler, PA rally.
“My heart breaks for the families of the victims and for the tragic loss of life. May God bless them and hold them close as they grieve,” Oxenberg wrote. She’s a firm right winger, all in on Trump despite her comments in 1990. It’s unclear if she made the donation because of his shooting or because she was moved by Comperatore’s story.
Oxenberg is loosely related to various royal families across Europe. She had her daughter India with convicted drug smuggler William Weitz Shaffer. India later became part of the NXIVM sex cult.
Oxenberg was married for 9 days to late great movie producer, Robert Evans. After that she had to children with Casper van Dien, a B movie actor most famous for the cult film, “Starship Troopers.” She’s currently married to private equity banker Ellis Jones, Chairman of Wasserstein & Co, the firm left behind by late financier Bruce Wasserstein. He sits on a number of boards, according to his bio, including Lazard (Freres), and Harry & David, the bagel and fruit company.
Oxenberg was no Meryl Streep, but she worked a lot in television in the 1980s starting “Dynasty.” She appeared on “The Love Boat,” and then famously made an erotic thriller called “Sexual Response,” in 1992. Her last featured role was in 2015’s “Shartopus vs. Whalewolf.”
Since 2018, she’s made money from several projects concerning the sex cult.
It’s amazing she didn’t speak at the Republican Convention.
