Ivanka Trump isn't just a businesswoman, she's a mother to three children with husband Jared Kushner — Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick, and Theodore James. As Trump is certainly an incredibly busy woman tasked with balancing both motherhood and work, one would think she'd be an advocate for a mother's rights in regards to the workplace — most notably, maternity leave. But according to the former creative director of Ivanka Trump's company, that wasn't exactly her experience with Trump heiress.
On October 10, 2016, Marissa Velez Kraxberger took to Facebook to air her grievances regarding Donald Trump's newly-unveiled maternity leave policy, reportedly crafted, in part, by Ivanka Trump. "When I first interviewed with Ivanka I was 2 months pregnant [...] when I asked about maternity leave she said she would have to think about it. [She said] that at Trump, they don't offer maternity leave and that she went back to work just a week after having her first child."
Though Kraxberger went on to explain she was finally granted eight weeks of maternity leave after fighting long and hard for such, her story caused many to see Trump in a new, hypocritical light.
