The presidential candidate said that Hillary was "duped" by the "worst Miss U," while calling the beauty queen's credibility into question because of incidents recently uncovered from her past.
In 2005, Machado was on a Big Brother-type Spanish reality show called La Granja or The Farm. While on the show, she engaged in a sexual relationship with one of her co-stars that was caught on the show's cameras and later aired on television, according to a story published in The Sun.
Machado was engaged to baseball player Bobby Abreu, who called off the engagement following the incident.
Machado has said that she's been mistreated and insulted by Trump ever since she won the Miss Universe title in 1996. Following Monday's debate, Trump went on Fox and Friends to say that Machado's weight gain while Miss Universe was a "real problem."
Clinton used Machado during the debate as an example of how Trump has treated women. Saying that Trump called Machado "Miss Piggy" when she gained some weight.
“One of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest,” Clinton said Monday. “He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina.
“Donald, she has a name,” Clinton continued. “Her name is Alicia Machado, and she has become a US citizen.
