In a new documentary, adult film star Stormy Daniels expressed regret over her encounter with then-celebrity Donald Trump, suggesting that if she had resisted his advances, she might have prevented others from experiencing his alleged sexual misconduct.
The documentary, titled “Stormy,” delves into Daniels’ experiences and includes interviews and footage detailing her interactions with Trump. In one segment, Daniels reflects on her consensual but unenthusiastic encounter with Trump. She draws attention to the Access Hollywood tape, where Trump boasted about grabbing women without their consent.
Daniels makes a distinction between women who actively consent to such behavior and those who do not explicitly stop it. She admits feeling partially responsible for not halting Trump’s advances, acknowledging that his unchecked behavior may have emboldened him to continue mistreating women.
Reflecting on the incident, Daniels expresses self-blame, stating that she hasn’t forgiven herself for not intervening in the moment. She believes that by confronting Trump, she might have prevented him from targeting other women in the future.
Despite the challenges she faced, Daniels remains haunted by the idea that her inaction may have contributed to subsequent incidents involving Trump and other women.
People say, you know, you can’t abuse a porn star. That is not true.
What Trump said about grabbing women by the pussy. He wasn’t wrong! Women will let you grab them by the pussy because they– especially if you’re famous. Whatever his direct quote was. He shouldn’t have said it. He should never done it. But he’s not wrong.
And I don’t know if they “let you,” but they don’t tell you not to. And that’s what happened to me.
Trump obviously openly admitted and bragged about that sort of behavior. And if somebody gets away with something, they get more brazen, they get more bold, they get more aggressive.
To this day, I blame myself. And I have not forgiven myself because I didn’t shut his ass down in that moment. So maybe make him pause before he tried it someone else. The hardest part about all of this is I feel like I am partially responsible for every woman that could have come after me.
