First Lady Melania Trump applauded a model Monday night on Twitter for standing up for her after a New York Times reporter caller her a "hooker."
In the tweet, Trump applauded "all women around the world" who stand up and support other women when they are put in similar situations.

American supermodel and actress Emily Ratajkowski said that on Sunday evening a male reporter from the New York Times called Trump a "hooker."
Ratajkowski called the reporter out on Twitter for his "gender specific" attacks on the first lady, writing that it was a form of "slut shaming."
