Melania Trump, the wife of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, on Wednesday critiqued a GQ Magazine feature on her that divulged she had a secret half-brother and detailed a legal battle involving her caviar skincare line.

“The article published in GQ today is yet another example of the dishonest media and their disingenuous reporting,” Trump wrote on Facebook. “Julia Ioffe, a journalist who is looking to make a name for herself, clearly had an agenda when going after my family.”

Trump, who granted Ioffe a phone interview, alleged there were “numerous inaccuracies” in the article. She pointed to statements about her family and “claims on personal matters,” without providing specific examples.

Ioffe reported in her profile that because Trump’s caviar-infused skincare creams hadn’t sold well, she filed a lawsuit—and won—against the products’ promoters. Trump said that statement was “completely false.”

“The company in which I was involved with did not honor the contract and did not meet their obligations and as such the courts ruled in my favor,” she wrote.
