The former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal who allegedly had an affair with Trump but had a contract which did not allow to speak up about the affair, is now free to tell her story after she reached a settlement with AMI (American Media Inc.).

"I am pleased to have reached a settlement with AMI (American Media Inc.) on my own terms, which restores to me the rights to my life story and frees me from this contract that I was misled into signing nearly two years ago. My goal from the beginning was to restore my rights and not to achieve any financial gain, and this settlement does exactly that," her statement sent to CNN said.

According to McDougal she had a 10-month affair with Trump, affair that started just a few months after Melania gave birth to Trump's son, Barron.

However, in August 2016 she signed a contract with AMI, the owner of number of media publications, which in her mind meant that the company signed the contract with her to run her exclusive story about Trump, which then never happened.

The chairman and CEO of AMI, David Pecker, is a friend of Trump.

But now, after signing a 30-page settlement, she's free from any further legal actions should she choose to tell her story. As part of the settlement, McDougal will also be posing for the cover of September 2018 issue of Men's Journal.
