Adult film star Stormy Daniels told British TV personality Piers Morgan that her fan base was, well, men just like him during a recent interview.
The 44-year-old is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with former POTUS Donald Trump, 76, who allegedly paid Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election to deter her from coming forward about their apparent 2006 affair.
After several years of investigating Trump over the alleged payment, the Manhattan District Attorney's office submitted evidence to a New York grand jury that it says shows that the former US leader's lawyer, Michael Cohen, made a $130,000 payment to Daniels around the end of his client's 2016 presidential campaign.
When Trump reimbursed Cohen, the record for the payment stated it was for legal fees. As such, Trump was formally charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, which he pleaded not guilty to on Tuesday (April 4). He has vehemently denied any and all charges against him.
Mere hours later Daniels was ordered to pay Trump's $121,972 legal fees stemming from a 2018 defamation lawsuit she filed against him that was subsequently dismissed. She reportedly owes him a further $300,000 that she was ordered to pay Trump after the lawsuit's dismissal. Ouch.
Now, in a recent interview with Morgan on Talk TV over her involvement in Trump's hush money scandal the porn actress revealed that her fan base shifted when she came forward in 2018 to accuse Trump of threatening and bribing her to keep quiet about their 2006 tryst.
"I was dancing in strip clubs, which I had always done but it used to be [that] I'd go on stage and most of the [audience] would be white guys in suits - very much like you. And then suddenly overnight I walked out on stage and all of those guys were gone and it's gay men and trans people and women - a lot of women. Just this whole other crowd and dynamic," she said.
Daniels hasn't been shy in the past about speaking her mind. In fact, she discussed Trump's genitalia at length (if you'll pardon the pun) in her 2018 memoir Full Disclosure. Shortly before its release, The Guardian obtained an excerpt, where she described Trump's member as "smaller than average," but "not freakishly small," before comparing it to a Mario Kart character.
"He knows he has an unusual penis. It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool… I lay there, annoyed that I was getting f***ed by a guy with Yeti pubes and a d**k like the mushroom character in Mario Kart... It may have been the least impressive sex I'd ever had, but clearly, he didn't share that opinion," she wrote.
