NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
“Members Only: Palm Beach” reality star Rosalyn Yellin is setting the record straight about where she stands with Mar-a-Lago after “disgusting” rumors spread about its membership.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Yellin addressed allegations that Mar-a-Lago members planned to gather together to sign a letter demanding that Yellin’s membership be revoked following her appearance on the new Netflix reality series.
“It’s not true, it’s a rumour. It’s too sensational. Who knows why? People want to write bad things. But the simple fact is, I don’t talk about the private club on the show. The only time I’ve actually mentioned it, I think it’s twice. Someone once asked me, ‘How did you meet?’ he asked. [socialite] Gale Brophy?’ I mentioned this because that’s how I met him,” Yellin began.

“It came about naturally. The first time I joined, I met him at a charity event. Another time, when they asked me how much the membership fee was. But other than that, I don’t talk. I don’t talk about the people there. I don’t invade anyone’s privacy. I don’t reveal any secrets from that club. I don’t talk about anything,” he continued.

Yellin said she hosts charity events at Mar-a-Lago and that her events focus on raising money for trafficked women and children, aging foster children, cancer patients and veterans.
“So turning something positive I did into a negative is mean-spirited, disgusting, and bullying, especially because it is not right.”
Yellin concluded: “Turning something positive that I’ve done into a negative is mean-spirited, disgusting, and bullying, especially because it’s not right.”
Yellin and other “Members Only: Palm Beach” stars have feuded with the president over the years since becoming members of the glitzy Trump-owned club.
After Halloween, Yellin shared a photo with President Trump on Instagram and noted that she celebrated the holiday at Mar-a-Lago.
He told Fox News Digital it was “a great honor” to see Trump.
“He’s the President of the United States. It’s a tremendous honor. I can say of any president that it would be a great honor for me to be in the same room with them. That’s it,” Yellin said.
Yellin’s co-star Taja Abitbol’s connection to Donald Trump began decades before she moved to Palm Beach.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Abitbol said that he and his son Barron Trump went to the same school in New York, and that he and Trump are from the same neighborhood in Queens.
“Yes, always. I mean, I know Donald Trump from New York. My son went to school with Barron in New York when we were still living there. They both went to Columbia Grammar Preparatory School. And I actually went to the same school as him in Queens when we were growing up. We both went to Kew-Forrest, but obviously he was there years before me, but we went to the same private school in Forest Hills, Queens, and my son went to the same school as him.” Abitbol said:

Taja’s partner, former New York Yankee David Cone, has played golf with Trump “many times” over the years.
“You know, he’s a huge Yankee fan. I saw him at Yankee Stadium this summer,” Abitbol said.
Abitbol’s leading lady, Hilary Musser, told Fox News Digital that seeing President Trump at Mar-a-Lago was “not difficult.”

“Well, I guess you already know the answer to that. It’s not hard. I mean, especially back in the day, when, you know, he was a lot more free to roam around, and he was always super friendly,” Musser said.
Musser said she was out one night for her birthday with her “husband number four” and Trump came by to say hello.
“And we have a photo[ture]Musser stated that this was before Trump entered politics.

“He’s super friendly, very nice guy. I was also a member of the country club and played on the golf team, so he would see me there often. Yeah, he was a great guy personally in real life. You know, without any politics, he was never anything but nice to me,” Musser said.
Musser, a Mar-a-Lago member, last saw the president on New Year’s Eve, when he was with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The reality star told Fox News Digital that she’s spent the last 20 New Year’s Eve nights at Mar-a-Lago and that it’s always a “fun party.”
Musser became a member of Mar-a-Lago in 2005. He told Fox News Digital that he’s been able to run into celebrities every day since joining 20 years ago.

“You can meet any number of celebrities on any given day. And that list of celebrities is growing. I mean, now you have Sly Stallone. Mark Wahlberg lives in Delray. He came to Palm Beach to do some events. I used to see Rod Stewart all the time. I mean, it’s like living in Beverly Hills, you go to a restaurant and you see celebrities, and the best thing to do is not let it surprise you.”
“And that’s what everyone here does. Whether they’re politicians or celebrities, people treat them here the same way they treat them in Beverly Hills. A wave, a nod, a little enthusiasm, but arrogant,” Musser said.
Musser told Fox News Digital that you have to have common sense to move forward in Palm Beach.

“If you’re a talker, no one wants to invite you. If you’re going to brag about having been to their house. You’ve got to be discreet. And you know, I sure have common sense, too. I mean, I’m not going to say the name of whose house I went to because I’ll never be invited again. So that’s never going to happen. And I don’t need to leave out their names because who cares? It doesn’t matter.” he said.

“And it’s not my goal to go to every nice house on Palm Beach Island. It’s an organic thing for me to be invited to my friend’s house. I’m honored, and I invite them back. Oh, that’s another thing. You better party yourself, or you won’t be invited again. You can’t do a one-way thing. There’s got to be two ways. But I think that’s true all over the world, right? Nobody wants to hang around. “Nobody wants people who come to other people’s parties and never throw a party,” Musser said.

Abitbol said no one lives like Palm Beach residents.
“Honestly, it’s like nothing else, it’s like no one lives like we do. And that’s the whole beauty of it. This is really Fantasy Island. It’s paradise. There’s a lot of stuff going on from the beginning of the season to the end of the season,” he said.

“I guess no one lives like we do. It’s like the best way to live. I mean, I’ve lived in other places. I’ve lived in New York, in Manhattan, in the city, in the Hamptons. Just no one experiences it. First of all, the sun shines every day, so how can you not be happy when the sun shines every day? It’s like Los Angeles, but even more. And you see the palm trees and the ocean. Just like everything is better there. The weather in Palm Beach,” Abitbol said.
“Members Only: Palm Beach” follows a group of women living in the most “private parts” of a Florida beach town. The cast includes Musser, Abitbol, Yellin, Ro-mina Ustayev and Maria Cozamanis.
“Members Only: Palm Beach” is a new Netflix reality series premiering on December 29, 2025.
