After former President Donald Trump was charged with crimes related to the hush money she got from him before the 2016 election, porn star Stormy Daniels said she has been getting death threats from MAGA supporters in the style of “suicide bombers.”
Since Trump could go to jail if he is found guilty on the charges in Manhattan, the adult star told Post writer Piers Morgan on his Fox Nation USA show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” on Thursday that the threats against her have gotten worse and more frequent.
They think they are doing good things for society. Daniels said that people who back Trump strongly and attack her do so because they think they are the real Americans.
Now, they are acting like suicide bombers. They know that what they are doing is right deep down.
In 2018, Daniels’ now-famous $130,000 hush-money payment became public knowledge, and she said the threats she had been getting for years before had gotten a lot worse.
The ex-president has denied that he had an affair with the porn star in 2006.
She said that the first wave of threats, which started around 2018, were mostly variations on the words “liar,” “sk-k,” and “wh-e,” among other things.
She thought that about 1 out of every 100 violent threats she got by text at the time were direct threats of violence. Daniels says that the chances are now 1 in 10.
She said, “Instead of “You’re going to burn in hell,” they seem more… serious.” She said, “They are much more detailed and clear.”
They aren’t trying to be secretive. In the past, they only did things to hide their identities, like using a phone number that had been banned or a fake Twitter account. The fact that these are real people’s phone numbers, emails, and Twitter accounts just makes it worse, right? Real people are following them, after all.
Daniels thinks that Trump’s followers are attacking her more because the charge “could actually hurt him” if it leads to a conviction or hurts his chances of being re-elected in 2024.
They are much more enthusiastic. I think that’s a good way to put it. They make threats in a very open and bold way,” Daniels said.
When asked how the threats have changed her life, the adult star said that she has lost her freedom and is afraid to do things like go to the bathroom alone.
It took me almost two years to be able to go to the bathroom on my own. I like to think that I can take care of myself. I have a lot of guts. “I’m a writer and director, and I showed horses and did my own thing, and then all of a sudden I had to have two huge armed bodyguards stand in the stall with me while I went to the bathroom for two years,” she said.
For someone to go from being completely self-sufficient to having an armed bodyguard around the clock, that’s a lot to have.
The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, put together a grand jury that chose to indict Trump for hush-money payments he made before the 2016 election. He is the first living US president to be charged with a crime.
On Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to 34 criminal charges of making up company records.
