Earlier this year, porn star said she accepted hush money so Donald Trump could not have her killed

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer has revealed that the porn star wore a bullet-proof vest to Donald Trump’s hush money trial  because she feared what “some nut might do to her”.

Clark Brewster, Ms Daniels’ attorney, told CNN that testifying in the historic trial had taken its toll on her, revealing that she cried herself to sleep the night before taking the stand.

“She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse,” he said.

“She was paralyzed with fear – not of taking the stand or telling her story, but what might some nut might do to her. And I’m genuinely concerned about it as well.”

I’m sure she’s getting constant death threats from the MAGA cult.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Hey is “porn star” the best way to describe her?

I seem to recall we were saying “adult film star“ or “adult film actress“ and now the verbiage has shifted. If I’m right, then maybe it’s an attempt to destigmatize?

(“Porn” should also be more accurate given the number of adult films which are not pornographic)

Haha, people choose the language that supports the narrative they're peddling.

When emphasizing how bad Trump's actions were, he cheated on his wife with a porn star. When trying to make it no big deal, he had a fling with an escort.

When trying to humanize Stormy Daniels, she's an adult film actress. When trying to tear her down, she's basically a hooker.

It stood out to me because I happened to hear one of the talking heads refer to her as a porn star - but the guy was definitely left of center and was overall bashing the twice-impeached president. So I thought oh maybe we’re trynna normalize porn star as a phrase!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Its already the norm though, I've always heard the term porn star, the others I've been only hearing since a year or two. Albeit I don't live in an english speaking country.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I mean to me it's already normalized. He, she, we, porn star

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It is normal, isn't it? "Adult film actress" is a euphemism, I can't imagine hearing anyone I know say it.

It's interesting that when talking about films and TV we often use actor to describe both men and women, but in porn women are always actresses haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Also, wasn't she actually a Producer for some adult content? Can't exactly do that while being a mindless "hole & a heartbeat", which is what their narrative is...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She doesn't even star anymore. She's a director and producer now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

She does a handful of shoots as a performer still. Porn isn't the only thing she produces, either. She also does ghost hunting/paranormal investigations.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I still cringe when I hear someone call a sex worker a "hooker". Even sex worker seems a bit broad tbh

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 months ago (2 children)

She's a brave woman. Imagine knowing you need a bullet proof vest and still going.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

I never actually thought about this. Holy shit, that's kinda terrifying.

If they hire the Boeing hitman, she’ll be found dead of suicide or suddenly contract a disease.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Suicide by shooting herself in the head 7 times from 3 different angles.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Well if she is wearing one in this picture, then its a horrible vest that exposes all her vital organs.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's a My Vest from Mike Lindell

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

And the pillow is lumpy, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Exactly. Like the lumpy pillow is bad to sleep on, My Vest is bad at protecting against bullets.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's possible that you and she have a different definition of which parts of her chest constitute the vital organs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I got the joke

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I think the heart is generally agreed to be a vital organ.

[–] Tramort 14 points 6 months ago

It's a Four Seasons bulletproof vest; I think that model is called the Yardmaster.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It is sad but I understand. Trump cultists are willing to do anything for that man.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Trump cultists are willing to do anything for that man.

They don't do that on their own though. Trump actively directs people to use violence.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

He does. I thought he was joking with that quote about him being able to shoot someone and people would cheer but he was 100% correct. When it comes to avoiding accountability, he is in a league of his own.

The courtroom sketch with "Make America Horny Again" signs belongs in a museum post-collapse.

Russia usually helps people "fall" out of a window. She might be better off wearing one of those motorcycle air bag vests.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Check out Catch and Kill a tell all by Rowan Farrow about the mechanisms big media figures use to eliminate PR threats like Daniels.

The biggest player in the industry is an Israeli firm called Black Cube, an organization with deep ties to Israeli and US intelligence and third party terrorist organizations.

There's been a long friendly relationship between Russia and Israel wrt counter-intelligence in the Middle East, but it's more often Russia buying and ex-IDF selling.

Reject bullets

Return to (consensual) cum shots
