Adult film actress meets Kimmel on talk show
President Donald Trump’s reported paramour and adult film star Stormy Daniels appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! just hours after Trump finished his first State of the Union speech.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, kicked off the segment by watching the State of the Union address with Kimmel.
“Okay, enough of this,” Kimmel said, pulling out a puppet version of Trump. “Stormy, show me on the puppet what he did to you.”To which Daniels pulled out a puppet in her shape with tape over its eyes and looked knowingly at the camera.
“Hmm, kinky,” Kimmel said.
In his opening monologue, Kimmel referred to a 2011 In Touch interview in which Daniels had stated “that she could definitely describe Donald Trump’s junk perfectly – if she ever had to.
“And at long last, that moment has arrived. She has to.”
On the show, the porn star was questioned anew about the reports. But Daniels, reportedly bound by the non-disclosure agreement about the alleged fling, revealed little – laughing awkwardly, flashing tight-lipped smiles and deflecting Kimmel’s questions at every chance.
“I thought this was a talk show, not a horror movie,” she said as Kimmel read from the transcript of the In Touch magazine interview.
Kimmel pressed Daniels about whether she had signed an NDA regarding her alleged affair. She wouldn’t give a straight response, however.
He addressed some Trump supporters’ claims that having Daniels on the show was disrespectful, referencing Trump having three women who accused Bill Clinton of inappropriate sexual behaviour in the audience during a campaign debate with Hillary Clinton.
He asked Clifford what she thought of the move.
“Odd? No. Dirty, yes? And I know a lot about dirty and even I wouldn’t do that,” she replied.
