Porn star who alleged Trump affair: I can now tell my story

Source: AP

NEW YORK (AP) — Stormy Daniels, the pornography star whom President Donald Trump’s personal attorney acknowledged paying $130,000 just before Election Day, believes she is now free to discuss her alleged sexual encounter with Trump, her manager told The Associated Press Wednesday.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, believes that Trump attorney Michael Cohen invalidated a non-disclosure agreement after two news stories were published Tuesday: One, in which Cohen told The New York Times that he made the six-figure payment with his personal funds, and another in the Daily Beast, which reported that Cohen was shopping a book proposal that would touch on Daniels’ story, said the manager, Gina Rodriguez.

“Everything is off now, and Stormy is going to tell her story,” Rodriguez said.

Daniels first detailed her account of an alleged extramarital affair with Trump in 2011, when the celebrity website The Dirty published it but then removed the material under the threat of a lawsuit, according to the site’s founder, Nik Richie.

If he foolishly tries to sue her, it will all come out. And this is the guy that is supposed to be running our country? Stupid, stupid man.

Many more will be coming out exposing him too. This is just the tip of the ice burg, and with Porter too. A lot more info will show they've all known about him all along, and were pissed at the FBI because they wouldn't give him his clearance, and for others too. Backfiring badly on them in the WH. People like trump don't do this once, they're serial predators looking all the time for there next easy mark. Mueller probably already knows about many others too.

I believe she is a player based on her past actions, her replies to recent questions about the affair and that soulless look in her eyes. Gives me a chill even now.

She will have no problem turning coats against Trump and his GOP backers if she can make more money doing some other agenda like talks, books and movies.

PS Today I dropped movie package from TV plan I am MUCH more interested in news at the top of the hour and its just going to get more exciting.

there's another possibility we should be aware of. What if someone made Stormy an offer she couldn't refuse and she comes out with a big nothingburger?

Seems like they come out with lurid nothingburgers to distract from more important stories. I wonder what other bad news is percolating in the background?

Clinton was on the verge of Impeachment due to a consensual private sexual relationship with Lewinsky, but Trump gets a pass for paying hush money to a porn star. Can you imagine what would happen to a Democratic President if he did half of what Trump is accused of? The double standard is astounding. A Democrat with three marriages, multiple affairs, abuse allegations, etc, would not even get out of the gate. Instead, we have this Republican Clown and his hypocritical supporters. Amazing, and not in a good way.

....she is cashing in on her fame by doing well publicized personal appearances at strip clubs. What do you want to bet that a Trumpeter crashes the front door of one of these places with his pickup truck and starts shooting? These whack jobs have shot up pizza parlors for far less.

I read her Wikipedia entry, and I think she is a more honest businessperson than Trump. At least when people buy her videos they get what they pay for.
