The Stormy Daniels Controversy
The incident in question was in 2006. Stephanie Clifford, better known as Stormy Daniels, was 27 years old at the time. Trump forced Stephanie to share his bedroom with him on ‘The Apprentice’. Then Trump started harassing Stormy by calling him ‘honeybunch’ on the phone. At first, Stephanie used to take the call reluctantly, but then slowly she started avoiding the calls. Stormy realized that Trump’s was just a bogus promise. Trump’s relationship with Stormi came just a year following his marriage to Melania Trump.
In 2011, he reached an agreement with a publication to tell the world regarding his ordeal, but the publication backed out due to threats from Michael Cohen, Trump’s attorney. In 2016, Stormi informed the outside world regarding this. The revelation was with the magazine ‘In Touch Weekly’. Stormi also revealed that Trump called Stormi and apologized when she was replaced by another porn star, Jenna Jameson, on The Apprentice. Stormy also disclosed that Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, paid $130,000 to keep the information regarding his relationship from being revealed.
At this time, Trump’s image was doubly affected by the release of a video of Trump explaining that he had groped an actress during a TV show.
