Some of the scandals revolved around the agency reportedly breaking immigration laws, which, in essence, defrauded the USA. In 2014, a Jamaican model, Alexia Palmer, sued TMM, claiming that she had been treated "like a slave" and received only $4,980 for 21 shoots spread across three years (via ABC News).

In addition to Alexia Palmer's payment disputes against Donald Trump and his modeling agency, other models came forward to reveal the shady business going on behind the scenes at TMM. Two Trump models interviewed by Business Insider told the publication that they were instructed to lie to immigration authorities about their professions. One of the models, who was 14 at the time, was reportedly forced to tell everyone that she was actually 15 in order to secure more modeling jobs.
