Hunter Biden Unpacks Melania Trump'S Billion-Dollar Lawsuit Threat

Hunter Biden Reveals Legal Drama with Melania Trump

Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, recently opened up about a headline-grabbing legal tussle with Melania Trump. During a chat on the "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast, Hunter revealed that the former First Lady once threatened him with a lawsuit demanding a jaw-dropping $1 billion in damages. This legal drama originated from claims Hunter made during an interview in August 2025.

Hunter shared with podcast co-hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco that Melania had sent him a cease-and-desist order, warning of a billion-dollar legal threat. With a dash of humor, Hunter acknowledged his financial state, quipping, “I don’t have two nickels to rub together, let alone a billion dollars.”

“I already got sued for a billion dollars by Melania [Trump]… I don’t have two nickels to rub together, let alone a billion dollars. She sent me a cease and desist and said they were going to sue for a billion dollars.”

The Epstein Connection

The controversy flared up after Hunter suggested that Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier, introduced Melania to her husband, Donald Trump. This claim was met with fierce denial from Melania's camp, who described it as "false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory." Melania's lawyers demanded Hunter retract his statements and issue an apology, threatening over $1 billion in damages for alleged reputational harm.

Hunter, however, stood his ground, claiming his comments were based on information attributed to journalist Michael Wolff. Wolff had previously asserted Melania's acquaintance with an associate of Epstein and Trump. Though the story was later retracted by the Daily Beast, Hunter remained unfazed, dismissing the lawsuit threat as a "designed distraction."

OnlyFans Talk and Past Struggles

On a lighter note, the podcast conversation veered into a discussion about OnlyFans, with Hunter joking about starting an account using his "old stuff." Benny Blanco playfully suggested Hunter could model, praising him as "the most stylish." Lil Dicky and Benny's wife also chimed in, highlighting the success of other celebrities like Shannon Elizabeth on the platform.

Hunter's candid moments continued as he reflected on his past, including the notorious 2020 incident when his private information was leaked from a laptop. He shared his journey of sobriety since 2019, emphasizing the personal toll of the public scandal. "It was hell. I would never ever wish for the global exposure," Hunter confessed, shedding light on the challenges he faced.

Despite the controversies and challenges, Hunter's resilience and humor shine through, offering a glimpse into his life beyond the headlines.
