First came Donald vs. the New York Times022 Archives now it's Melania vs. People.

Amid multiple accusations of sexual misconduct from several women in different newspapers, Donald Trump threatened to sue the New York Times Thursday if the paper didn't retract its story in which two separate women alleged he groped them.

The Timeswas unfazed, shooting back a letter from its legal department that said it would welcome the chance to discuss the issue in court.

Now Melania Trump has issued a letter to Peoplevia the law firm Harder Mirell & Abrams disputing details in its story by a writer who says Trump pushed her against the wall and forced his tongue down her throat at Mar-a-Lago in 2005 while a "very-pregnant" Melania was upstairs.

Trump tweeted a photo of the letter Thursday, her first update on Twitter in several weeks.

Melania Trump's complaints don't center around the assault accusations, however. Instead she says she didn't in fact meet the writer, Natasha Stoynoff, on Fifth Avenue later that winter, and that a reported conversation between the two women didn't take place.

The lawyers demand a "prominent retraction and apology."

Here's the letter in full.

Harder Mirell & Abrams has a history of representing Hollywood celebrities, most recently Hulk Hogan in his lawsuit against Gawker.

On Thursday, People's editor-in-chief defended the decision to publish Stoynoff's article, praising the "remarkable, ethical, honest and patriotic woman" for making her story public.
