Stormy Daniels claims in new documentary that she hated attention that exposed Donald Trump ‘affair’ and bought and mocked the prison sentence of her corrupt lawyer Michael Avenatti
Stormy Daniels claims she hated the attention she received after exposing her affair with Donald Trump in a trailer for her new documentary – in which she also mocks her former lawyer Michael Avenatti.
The Peacock documentary, titled Stormy, shows the former porn star going about her life after the world learned of her alleged affair with the now Republican presidential candidate.
In the trailer, released Thursday, the 44-year-old describes herself as a mother, an adult film star and an “idiot who can’t keep her mouth shut.” She adds that she is a registered Republican, but jokes that she “goes both ways.”
Stormy claims she was “terrified” of the media frenzy she faced after a story broke in 2018 that Michael Cohen allegedly paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about her affair with Trump.
“Every time I stood up, I was kicked down even harder, and I hit rock bottom,” she said through tears. “You’ve never seen my name that didn’t have a porn star in front of it. Because we are not considered human.”

Avenatti is serving 14 years in prison after being convicted of evading taxes and stealing millions of dollars from customers.
After news broke of the alleged affair and the hush-hush payment in 2018, Stormy filed a lawsuit against Trump in March of that year, claiming the non-disclosure agreement she signed was invalid.
A tweet Trump wrote about her accusations then prompted her to file a defamation lawsuit a month later.
She lost her defamation suit and had to pay nearly $300,000 in legal fees to Trump.
The adult film star subsequently lost an appeal and will now face Trump again in the “hush money” criminal trial on March 18.
The charges – the first criminal charges against the former president – relate to refunds made through an LLC to his former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen.
Trump has said the payments were legitimate expenses and not illegally disguised.
Stormy has said she plans to testify in court during the trial.

Stormy has said she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.
She said he invited her to dinner and they ate in his hotel suite, where he showed her a copy of a golf magazine with his photo on the cover.
“And I was like, ‘Someone should take that magazine and beat you up with it,’” Daniels told the CBS program 60 Minutes in 2018.
“So he turned around and pulled his pants down a little bit – you know, he had underwear on and stuff – and I just gave him a couple of whacks,” Daniels said.
She said that at one point she excused herself to go to the bathroom and when she returned, Trump was “sitting on the edge of the bed.”

‘I realized exactly what I had gotten myself into. And I was like, ‘Ugh, here we go,'” Stormy said.
“And I just felt like maybe… I expected it because I made the bad decision to go into someone’s room alone.” She said the two had consensual sex.
Stormy said Trump called her the following year and she met him again at his request in July 2007 at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles to discuss her possible appearance on Celebrity Apprentice.
She said he wanted to have sex again at the hotel, but she refused, and that Trump called her a month later to tell her he had been unable to book her on the show.
On October 28, 2016, in the final days before the presidential election that Trump won, Daniels signed a nondisclosure agreement in which she promised not to publicly discuss her relationship with him in exchange for a $130,000 payment, according to documents filed in Los Angeles. Angeles Federal Court.
The pact was signed by Keith Davidson, her lawyer at the time, and Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer at the time.
