Two women have come forward to share their experiences with John McEntee, a former Trump administration official and co-founder of the conservative dating app the Right Stuff. According to their accounts, McEntee made them feel extremely uncomfortable during online conversations.
One of the women, Grace Carter, was an 18-year-old freshman at North Carolina State University when she received a message from the Right Stuff’s business account on Instagram. The message was from McEntee himself, who was offering her free merchandise. Carter was interested in the free hoodie, but soon found herself in a conversation that made her feel uneasy. McEntee allegedly pushed the conversation in directions that made her uncomfortable and even invited her to visit him in LA.
Another woman reported a similar experience with McEntee, who repeatedly invited her to visit him in LA. Both women felt that McEntee’s behavior was inappropriate and made them feel uncomfortable.
McEntee, 34, has a history of controversy. He was fired from the Trump administration in 2018 after his security clearance was denied due to concerns over his online gambling winnings and mishandled taxes. He later returned to the White House in 2020 as the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office.
McEntee’s Current Ventures
McEntee is currently the face of the Right Stuff, a dating app for conservatives that launched in 2022. He is also a senior advisor to Project 2025, a roadmap for a second Trump administration that aims to roll back the rights of women and LGBTQIA+ people.
The Right Stuff has come under criticism for its lack of diversity and its promotion of conservative values. McEntee’s profile has risen online, with the Right Stuff having over 3 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million on Instagram.
Neither McEntee nor the Right Stuff responded to requests for comment.
