male producer by herself and was always aware of the situation.

“I would always have a girlfriend walk me to the door so the producer could see that somebody was with me, and then she would wait outside,” she added. “I always did that bit of something. You always have to protect yourself, always . . . It’s better to be defensive in case (sexual assault) happens than to think you’re going into a situation, that it’s not going to happen, and then it does and you don’t know how to respond.”

Trump has also been accused by several women of sexual harassment. Alt said he never hit on her.

Alt says she feels for all the victims of sexual assault who have told their stories in the last couple of weeks and that she, too, has been in horrible situations. She recalled that men would “lean across and grab and kiss me.”

The former wife of retired New York Rangers defenseman remembers thinking, “OK, what signal did I put out (that) they think they could do that? I would abruptly stand up and say, ‘It’s time to go,’ and head for the door.”

Alt, who had a health and fitness show on Fox News, is currently shilling a new line of wedge shoes called Cat Perkins. Comedian says he was often a ghost or a hobo for Halloween — but he remembers one particular­ly awful year. “I was 3 and my mom got me a pig costume. I was so humiliated and it scarred me,” he laughs. The standup comic and father of five (inset) has all of his kids’ costumes ready, but he noted, “There’s lastminute changing. It’s like planning a wedding.”
