Ex-adult star who says she slept with Trump made one surprising claim about his manhood
Stormy Daniels, the former adult film actress whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, once made headlines for her blunt and unflattering remarks about an alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump. In her 2018 memoir Full Disclosure, she described the encounter, which she says occurred in 2006, in vivid terms — even comparing Trump’s anatomy to a mushroom character from Mario Kart. During a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview promoting the book, she humorously demonstrated her comparison by choosing one of several mushrooms laid out by the host, joking about the backlash she received from fans of the game and mushroom enthusiasts alike.
Daniels also recounted how the alleged encounter began, saying they met at a golf tournament and that Trump invited her to his hotel suite for dinner, though the meal never materialized. She described Trump wearing silky black pajamas, likening him to a less sexy Hugh Hefner, and added anecdotes including spanking him with a magazine featuring his own face. These details, while humorous to some, became central to a much larger legal controversy years later.
In 2024, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment arranged by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to secure her silence about the alleged affair. Daniels testified during the trial, repeating her claims about the 2006 encounter. Trump has consistently denied the allegations, and his legal team has filed an appeal, arguing the prosecution was politically motivated and that certain evidence should have been excluded under Supreme Court precedents regarding presidential immunity for official acts.
