Porn star Stormy Daniels, who has alleged a 2006 affair with US President Donald Trump, gave a much anticipated interview to CBS’ 60 Minutes that aired on Sunday night. In it, she detailed the affair itself, and the threats to her family and her life that she encountered afterward. The affair has been controversial because Trump had reportedly made Daniels sign a non-disclosure agreement, paying $130,000 for her silence.

Talking to CBS anchor Anderson Cooper, she alleged that in 2011, when Trump became aware that she had given an interview to a publication about the affair, she received a threat from an unidentified man in a parking lot:

I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. You know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, gettin’ all the stuff out. And a guy walked up to me and said to me, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.” And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.” And then he was gone.  

Why Break the Agreement?

Daniels said that her decision to finally speak out was motivated by the smears on her reputation and character:

Because people are just saying whatever they want to say about me, I was perfectly fine saying nothing at all, but I’m not okay with being made out to be a liar, or people thinking that I did this for money. People are like, “Oh, you’re an opportunist. You’re taking advantage of this.” Yes, I’m getting more job offers now, but tell me one person who would turn down a job offer making more than they’ve been making, doing the same thing that they’ve always done?

The Sordid Details

In a description of the affair that is sure to set tongues wagging on the internet, Daniels describes how she caught Trump off guard, gave him a spanking with a rolled up magazine that had his face on the cover, and subsequently saw his behaviour “become more appropriate”. She spilled details of the moments that followed after he showed her the magazine with his face on the cover.
