Bettina Anderson clapped back at her boyfriend, Donald Trump Jr., being labeled a “spoiled heir” and an “a–hole” in a New York Magazine profile.
The Palm Beach socialite took to her Instagram Story over the weekend to call out the anonymous “insider” who spoke to the outlet for the scathing “Age of Don Jr.” piece — in which he’s referred to as the “most despised member of the [Trump] family.”
“Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots,” Anderson fired back, per the Daily Mail.

Anderson also sarcastically added, “DEFINITELY an ‘insider’ VERY familiar with @donaldtrumpjr.”
The 38-year-old then gushed over her boyfriend as the “finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful and brilliant person” she has ever known.
Trump Jr., meanwhile, also responded to the article via his IG Story, admitting he can be an “a–hole” when necessary.

“Don’t get me wrong, I can totally be an a–hole when I need to be … if you’re adversarial to my friends, my family, my country, MAGA, etc,” the businessman, 47, wrote.
“But I think you’d be hard pressed to find a regular person who actually knows me that thinks that. There’s no wonder why these ‘sources’ are always anonymous.
“Man up, put your name to it, but we know you won’t because you’re cowards.”
President Trump’s eldest son also responded to the unflattering article.

The New York Magazine piece, published Wednesday, took aim at Trump Jr.’s romance with Anderson, claiming she used to “look down” on President Trump and his family.
“Palm Beach society is a little surprised at Anderson,” one insider said.
However, writer Nina Burleigh argued, “But everyone understands why a smart girl might hook up with a president’s son.”

In December 2024, Page Six revealed that Don Jr. and Anderson were dating after they were spotted together multiple times.
“Bettina and Don have been together for a few months, and are super cute and happy together. It’s just a natural fit — everyone is happy for them,” a source told us at the time.
The couple got together following Don Jr.’s split from ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.
