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.”

    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.

      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.
