PORN STAR’S $1M TO TELL ALL ON FLING WITH TRUMP
10 offers to pay Stormy to break gag
PORN star Stormy Daniels has been offered $1million by “at least” 10 people to break her silence over her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
It means her costs would be covered if she breached a gagging deal by speaking out about the claims.
Daniels, 38, was paid £94,000 just weeks before the billionaire won the 2016 US presidential election to keep quiet over the allegations.
As part of the deal she was told she would have to pay $1million (£720,000) if she spilled the beans.
But her lawyer Michael Avenatti says Daniels – whose real name is Stephanie Clifford – has had several offers of financial help to enable her to tell her story.
Asked on US TV news network CNN whether anyone had “offered to pony up the $1million to protect her”, Mr Avenatti said: “At least 10 individuals in the last three days alone.”
But he said she was not seriously considering any of the offers.
It came after Daniels filed a civil lawsuit against the President in Los Angeles Superior Court last week, claiming the contract is null and void since Trump never signed it.
Their alleged fling began weeks after Trump’s wife Melania gave birth to their son Barron in 2006, it has been claimed. Daniels, star of over 150 adult films including Good Will Humping, is one of more than 20 women to accuse Trump of an affair or sexual misconduct. Mr Trump wants drug dealers in the US to be given the death penalty. He said it is “a discussion we have to start thinking about” but admitted: “I don’t know if this country’s ready for it.”
