Actress Arianne Zucker did not mince words in expressing her disdain for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after leaked “Access Hollywood” tapes from 2005 showed him and “Today” host Billy Bush making lewd comments about her.

“They are offensive comments for women. Period,” she told NBC’s “Today” on Wednesday.

But Zucker said she was not shocked. “Not with that type of personality. Which is probably why it doesn’t mean a lot to me.”

All of the attention following the leaked video feels “very surreal,” the actress continued, adding that she hasn’t been able to turn on the television in the last few days without seeing the video everywhere.

“I want to teach my daughter that if she ever gets put in a situation like Mommy is [in] right now, that she will hold her head high,” she said.

Trump told Bush in 2005 that he could sexually harass women, namely “grab them by the p***y,” because “when you’re a star, you can do anything.”

The blowback has been severe. A number of Republicans have pulled their support for the party’s nominee. And in the last 24 hours alone, four women have accused Trump of groping them.

Zucker said she is planning to vote but won’t say for whom.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is currently polling at 49 percent to Trump’s 41 percent, according to HuffPost pollster.
