In a new documentary, adult film star Stormy Daniels opens up about her alleged sexual encounter with then-celebrity mogul Donald Trump.
Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, is once again in the spotlight due to an impending trial involving hush money payments from Trump, which have resulted in a significant indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The documentary titled “Stormy,” released on Peacock, delves into Daniels’s journey and features fresh interviews and footage. Among the highlights is a behind-the-scenes look at her appearance on The View during a book tour, where she recounts the moment she encountered Trump in his underwear, feeling deceived and taken aback.
“I remember thinking, ‘Oh, no! How did I get myself into this?'” Daniels recalls. She expresses a sense of being misled and trapped, struggling to articulate her emotions. Despite maintaining that the encounter wasn’t rape, she reflects on feeling conflicted, like a young girl once more, taught to respect elders and conform to societal expectations.
Daniels candidly admits to feeling guilty for not putting a stop to the situation, grappling with the complexities of power dynamics and societal pressures.
People just wanted the salacious details.
When I came out of that bathroom and Trump was there in his underwear, you know. So entitled!
I remember thinking, “Oh, fuck! How did I get myself into this?”.
I felt that I had been misled and tricked and I can’t even find the words.
But I thought we had this mutual respect. You know, I’ve maintained it it wasn’t rape in any fashion, like, you know.
But I didn’t say no because I just. I was nine years old again.
And the last thing I remember was like, “I could totally take him if I want to scream or fight, but like, I’m not supposed to act like that.”.
There’s that whole dynamic because I was from the South, that he was an elder and a man, and I was taught to show respect and be a good girl.
