‘I Was F**king Terrified!’ Stormy Daniels Says She Took Trump Money So Trump ‘Could Not Have Me Killed’
Porn Star Stormy Daniels said in a new documentary that she took hush money from then-candidate Donald Trump to create a paper trail so “he could n0t have me killed.”
Stormy Daniels — the stage name of the former Stephanie Clifford — is back in the news because of the imminent trial in the case that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought involving alleged hush money payments to Daniels, which resulted in a several-dozen-count indictment of Trump.
But on Monday, Peacock dropped the new documentary Stormy, a feature-length film that includes new interviews and footage telling the story of Daniels’s journey into history.
In one particularly gripping portion of the doc, Daniels describes being “fucking terrified” when she was approached about taking the payment after the Access Hollywood tape came out:
STORMY DANIELS: My friend was like, you might actually have a problem. I don’t want to scare you, but based on the things you’ve told me. Now. You’re the whole Republican Party’s problem. And they like to make their problems go away.
NEWS ANCHOR: A recording of Donald Trump made more than a decade ago has surfaced. It is lewd, it is vulgar. And we caution you you won’t want young children to hear it.
DONALD TRUMP: I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just don’t kissing them. It’s like a magnet. I don’t even know where and when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
BILLY BUSH: Whatever you want.
DONALD TRUMP: Grab ’em by the pussy.
…
STORMY DANIELS: I was very relieved when Gina started reaching out and offering me the chance to keep it quiet. I was fucking terrified!
I mean, people have been suspiciously killed for political reasons.
It was really about two things: trying to keep the story from coming out so that it would not hurt my husband and my daughter, and I wouldn’t lose my life, and that there would be a paper trail and money trail linking me to Donald Trump so that he could not have me killed.
All I had to do was sign this piece of paper and collect $130,000.
