Stormy Daniels revealed in an interview that she’s receiving death threats from MAGA supporters after former President Donald Trump was issued criminal charges concerning the hush money he gave her before the 2016 election.

The adult film star told Piers Morgan during a segment on his Fox Nation show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” that the death threats against her have increased and are becoming scarier, as the New York Post reported. “They genuinely feel that they’re doing something right. That they are the patriots. Now they’re doing it like a suicide bomber. They truly, in the depths of their soul, they feel like they are doing the right thing,” she explained.
Although she’s received death threats, the recent ones are becoming more concerning. Daniels reportedly had an affair with Trump in 2006, and the threats started once it was revealed that she received $130,000 in hush money.
The alleged affair came to light in 2018 when the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, had arranged a $130,000 payment to Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about the affair. Daniels later sued Trump, arguing that the hush agreement was invalid because Trump never signed it.

The legal battle between Daniels and Trump continued for several months, with Daniels making numerous media appearances and interviews to discuss the alleged affair. In March 2018, Daniels filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, claiming he had falsely accused her of lying about the affair. A federal judge later dismissed the lawsuit.
The controversy surrounding the alleged affair and the hush money payment led to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation into Trump’s finances and possible campaign finance violations. In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight charges, including campaign finance violations related to the payment to Daniels, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
“They’re not hiding. It used to be if they were going to do something, they would do it from a blocked number, or from a fake Twitter account. These people are using their actual phone numbers and their actual emails and their actual Twitter accounts, which then makes it worse because they actually have followers, right?”
Daniels later went on Twitter to thank her fans for their support after the interview, although some users accused her of spreading misinformation.
