Donald Trump could earn him criminal charges — is back in the spotlight. Daniels (née Stephanie Gregory Clifford), who is also an adult film director and a former stripper, is the subject of a new documentary called “Stormy,” from director/producer Sarah Gibson and Erin Lee Carr (“Britney vs Spears”). “People think they know the facts of the case, but it’s really shocking,” Carr told the Hollywood Reporter.
Daniels became a household name in 2018 when it was reported she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 in “hush money” in 2016 to stay quiet. Trump, who is currently running for a second presidential term, denied the affair happened.“All I had to do was sign this piece of paper to keep it quiet,” she said in the doc’s trailer. “I won’t give up.
Because I’m telling the truth.”She added: “I’m out of f – – ks.”Gibson told the outlet that she thinks people will find Daniels relatable, despite her “unorthodox” career choices. “Her day-to-day life, marriage, being a mom, being the breadwinner, is something a lot of people can relate to. But then, when a bomb goes off in your life, as it did with the Trump story, she was trying to just fight her way through it and keep her career.
“She had a 20-year career before the story broke and was directing between 10 and 12 films a year. She’s a very skilled filmmaker, and people just didn’t know that. They just saw this seductress or a woman who was just out for fame and money.”The filmmaker explained that she and Daniels met in 2019.“Then, when the Michael Avenatti trial was happening, and he was representing himself in court and asking her really awful questions on the stand, it really hurt my heart.
