I don’t keep up with Ivana Trump’s love life or anything, so I didn’t know that for years, she was with Rossano Rubicondi, her ex-husband. Like, they were married and then they divorced in 2009, then they got back together after the divorce but they never remarried. They just dated. And now they’re over – Ivana apparently dumped Rossano a few weeks ago. Which might be why Rossano “popped off” on the Trump family when someone from Page Six called him for a comment on his breakup:
Hell hath no fury like an Italian scorned. After splitting from Ivana Trump, her ex-hubby-turned-boyfriend Rossano Rubicondi launched into a furious rant about the first family, calling Ivana’s kids with Donald Trump “disgusting” and “stupid.”
Page Six reported last week that Ivana dumped Rubicondi — whom she divorced in 2009, only to reunite with him shortly after — because their long-distance love just wasn’t working out. And when we called him for comment, Rubicondi said he had “good respect” for the matriarch and businesswoman, but said he’d had some beef with her kids during the romance. “In regards for the rest of the family, I am not [a] big a fan of it. They have been rude to me.”
Rubicondi and Ivana married in 2008, divorced in 2009, and reunited. But, “again and again, I hear of them speaking in terms [that] I don’t appreciate it. I don’t care who is your father or mother, you do not talk to me like that,” he said. It sounds as if there was some quibbling with the kids over cash because — without elaborating on any specific incident involving money — he defensively told us: “No one touched a dollar or dime from their family . . . I don’t know [if that’s why they didn’t like me], but these people are all about money. They don’t have a heart. They are garbage.”
He added, “Don Jr. is an idiot. He’s a jerk,” and instructed us, “Put it down: ‘You are a jerk.’ Put it in capital letters! They are nobody . . . They are disgusting. We are talking about kids who are so stupid, except Ivanka. They are a piece of scum. Before they say anything about me, I will wash their mouth out with soap! They are disgrace for human being.” He also seemed to have changed his feelings about the breakup, shouting, “Shame on her!” of Ivana after news of their split hit the Italian press.
I’ve always felt like the large adult Trump children dislike Melania and the feeling is mutual, but I’ve never stopped to consider that the Trump adult-children probably didn’t get along with Ivana’s husbands, boyfriends and lovers too. I mean… this guy seems to give off gigolo vibes, but who knows. It seems like the large adult Trump children are terrible people and terrible grifters, and they recognized themselves in Rubicondi maybe? “They are disgusting. We are talking about kids who are so stupid, except Ivanka. They are a piece of scum.” I’d include Ivanka too?

I read this in an Italian accent and now I’m #teamexhusband
Yeah me too haha!
Yes! And “a piece of scum” just became my favorite insult ever.
I had a small Italian accent in my head too, and I read your hashtag as ‘team exhausted” (vs team ex husband, as you wrote) and now I’m both!
I read it another wrong way and am exhausted also 🤪
I also read it in an Italian accent. But, then, I am Italian, after all… Mamma mia, butta now, I luvva dis man! “They are a piece of scum! They are garbage!” Gigolo or not, he seems like a good judge of character…
HAHAHAHA!! YES! To all of what you’ve all said, ditto here!
This is so funny…I read it in Italian as well with a couple of spits.
He is so hot!
They are all gross. Ivana needs to wear a bra!
No she does not. She can do whatever she wants with her breasts. Damn.
She speaks the truth. Lighten up btw!
Okay, now come criticize my breasts to my face. My friend recently had a double mastectomy, would you like to tell her how to manage her body to suit your tastes too?
God forbid a woman’s breasts should not be contained to your liking, Jan.
I’m afraid I’m on team bra too – if you are going to spend a fortune on too-large bolt ons, as is the wont of all Trump women, you are going to have to hoist them up, or they will wreck the line of the expensive but tacky clothes that they also seem to prefer. I realize that they are many serious things for which to criticize each and every member of this terrible family, but it is exhausting. I prefer to zoom in on the superficial, then exit, have a drink and weep for the future.
Amen
I am stuck at weeping for the future.
What’s with the yelling going on here lately? This is a (formerly?) light-hearted snarky gossip site – do we need to go nuclear about breast cancer when the first Mrs. Trump shows up at a photo op with droopy fake boobs? She looks ridiculous.
For the politically correct record, I had breast cancer in 2011, treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Included lots of pain and fear. That’s a completely different topic than some celebrity’s fake boobs.
Ditto. I’ve had all the above as well including double mastectomy & I’m with the wear-a-bra voters. I’ll add that I don’t want to see through her lace to any of the rest of her body. Her entire look is very dated.
Thank you! The outrage is getting out of hand here. I’ve been through a lot a really crazy, dark shit in my life and I deal with it through humor and dry wit. I truly enjoy reading this blog and many of the comments because it’s feels like I’m hanging out with friends having a fun gossip session.
Team bra. We dissect what Kate and Meghan were, so why not Ivana?
Yesterday Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me replayed some old segments. One featured Christine LaGarde. The woman is very funny and down to earth which made her stinkeye at ivanka even more epic, imo. Good listen.
https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/
Wait wait don’t tell me has been a staple of my life for the longest time!!!
Me, too. I even saw them live once years ago. Peter Sagal is a Chicago treasure.
I love them. My Saturday oasis of sanity.
Hilarious! I am a Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me addict.
I see them whenever they come to Wolf Trap (this Year it’s August, tickets waiting in my iPhone wallet)
Oh and as for excluding Ivanka from the other idiot siblings…she didn’t understand what complicit meant and went on to explain she hopes she “would be complicit for good” (insert loud buzzer noise here) sorry fascist Barbie not what the word means & it doesn’t work that way . She, too, is an proven idiot
Love Wait Wait. So she was the woman in the video from G20? What a brilliant, witty, accomplished woman. And no wonder she gave Ivanka the stink eye! And I got to see WWDTM live twice as well, once in Atlanta & once in South Carolina. If they’re near you, grab some tickets & enjoy!
Ivana wrote a memoir and it could have been an interesting book, since her life has been quite unusual. But it was blah, and clearly she has been paid to shut up.
I think both Ivana and Marla were paid off and are too scared to speak the truth. Marla toyed with possibly releasing some big revelation before the election, but it has been crickets.
Yeah, tons and tons of women have been paid off.
“They are a piece of scum” hahahah I’m so tickled by this. I love it. Like, they aren’t even two pieces of scum. No. They are so awful that collectively their sorry asses only make up ONE piece of scum.
I know it’s just that English is a second language to him, but I love the way he phrased that hahaha.
Nothing but the truth here. The first 3 Trump crotch goblins hate anyone who is in their way of Daddy’s money and will. Didn’t they try and get Tiffany cut from their fathers will? And its obvs that they don’t have much to do with Barron whom they pretty much ignore when they are all out and about. TBH I don’t think there is any love lost even between them – Jr has often made snide remarks about Nag.
You are hilarious, digital unicorn! Crotch goblins! I couldn’t stop laughing.
I laughed. But really what difference does it make? I’ll get a bit more excited when someone, anyone, says or does something that leads to any sort of consequence for Trump and his wretched older kids and Jared.
We know they are scum. We want evidence of their crimes.
Bingo.
A little sidestep, but funny.

That made me chortle. Again. We have (or had?) a great show here in Australia, called The Gruen Transfer/Gruen; all about advertising. One of the panelists had that on a tee shirt about 3 years ago. It’s still fun to mock that cretin.
“ We are talking about children who are so stupid.”! That made me laugh so hard.
Side note, who loves SNL’s Eric Trump? It’s my fav impression.
I do, but I think it makes them way too loveable! They are both awful.
Ivana is shady, like they all are. I would absolutely love to see her FBI file. She’s done her part to raise the kids to work for the FBI’s Most Wanted mob thug, Semion Mogilevich. In contrast, see Marla Maples, who took the “keep quiet payoff” and escaped to California to keep Tiffany out of it.
But Tiffany wants in. Desperately.
I think so, and it’s sad.
I think Marla quietly grifts in her own way, too.
VF did an article about Marla. She actually didn’t get a huge payday in the divorce. Our future orange emperor made her sign a really strict pre-nup. Their wedding was days away and he presented her with this draconian pre-nup and said if you don’t sign its not happening. I think she thought having a baby would help but in the end the pre-nup was enforced. I think she’s kept her mouth shut all these years to save her daughter’s prospects of inheriting because he may have had to pay child support but he would not have hesitated to cut her off at 18. And now that she’s an adult the price of inheritance is absolute fealty just like her siblings.
@lolo: IIRC Marla has also said that he would strictly control her spending when they were married, she had a meagre allowance (if it could be called that) that just about covered the basic needs of baby Tiffany but Marla had to ask for money if she wanted to visit the hairdressers.
Tiffany’s slice of the inheritance is not a done deal, IIRC the 3 elder crotch goblins tried for years to get her out of his will. Trump is a man who ‘persuaded’ his father to cut his dead brothers wife and young children out of the will, leaving them destitute.
None of them need an inheritance. Each & everyone of the trump offspring is fully capable of earning a living. Actually, as a type that, maybe not. Their college degrees were handed to them. Although I do think Tiffany is working on a law degree. Whatever. They can earn a living.
Yes, Ivanka is so shady…and Complicit.

Nagini should really look at Mummy’s face before she considers doing anything more to her own.
While I’m sure they are all trying to come up with some snappy, withering comeback, the Trumps must all be a little bit more worried about Epstein today than Mummy’s ex.
Can hardly wait for the documents reveal. And love that they busted in his door.
The images of that beautiful door are truly glorious. Why do I suspect that Accosta is checking his home insurance policy to see if it covers damages from FBI No Knock searches?
Haha, Lightpurple! 🔥 She’ll probably end up with the same hair/wig style, too.
Acosta, Trump and Prince Andrew better be wearing their Depends today…
Stand by for lots of leaks about Meghan.
Gigolo Loverboy complains about a mafia-like family. You couldn’t make this up.
I have mixed feelings but his judgement of the mafia-like family seems to be correct, large and by all.
I think anyone who can stand being around the trumps or trump-adjacent is pretty obviously scum themselves.
This guy screams gigalo. I’m pretty sure he is gross too. He is right about Trump’s kids but if he wasn’t saying negative things about the Trump kids, we’d all be side-eyeing this dude.
Wow..she has so much filler in her face her eyes have disappeared. You can only see the makeup. Dang.
Melania has the same problem and Nagini is going down the same path.
Need to share this.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Vive la France!

Love!!!!
Wow just wow. Ivana took the plastic surgery a couple steps too far. She is like a warning for plastic surgery overuse.
Wow so Ivanka is not an idiot? Who knew?
That’s what I want clarification on! Why is she NOT an idiot? Did she give him some favors?
My best part was PUT IT DOWN IN CAPITAL LETTERS😂😂. That was extra petty.
IKR?!? To actually SAY that in his accent, while gesturing with his hands…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ever been around rich people? A lot of rich people (well, if Trump and Jared’s debts are to be discounted for the moment) watch every penny and are afraid of freeloaders or potential threats to their dynasty. Their mother marrying some guy would be enough to make that guy a huge threat. On the other hand, this guy does seem a shady type. Those hipster and tech rich – Joshua Kusher and Elon Musk to Jack Dorsey and Bill Gates – might donate a whole heap and avoid looking like they’re obsessed with money and status but they have busy, active teams safeguarding their fortunes, paddling like crazy under the calm water.
I stand to inherit some money when my father dies and I have been fearful of freeloading men my entire dating life. The moment the men I date find out that their life will change eventually, they become obsessed with it. I need to find a man with money of his own who doesn’t care about my inheritance. Still looking. There are A LOT of men out there who want a free ride.
OMG, looking up her birthday I discovered that she and I and Mitch McConnell all share the same birthday. I, however, am five years older than Ivana, but I can tell you she’s been wearing her hair *the exact same way* for 50 years. Might be time to try something new.
hahaha who is this guy? i love him and his brutal honesty! i appreciate people who just call it like they see it!!
He probably is a gigalo and can’t STAND her family and doesn’t have to fake it anymore
