Porn star Stormy Daniels has revealed she’s been getting unhinged “suicide bomber”-style death threats from MAGA supporters after former President Donald Trump was hit with criminal charges tied to the hush-money payment she received prior to the 2016 election.
In a sit-down interview that aired Thursday, the adult actor told NYPost columnist Piers Morgan on his Fox Nation USA show “Piers Morgan Uncensored” that the threats against her have increased — and become even more terrifying — given that Trump could be looking at jail time if convicted of the charges in Manhattan.
“They genuinely feel that they’re doing something right. That they are the patriots,” Daniels said of diehard Trump supporters attacking her.
“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.”
Daniels said she was used to getting some threats because of her work in the adult entertainment industry, but they surged drastically when news of her now-infamous $130,000 hush-money payment surfaced in 2018.
The porn star has claimed she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which the ex-president has vehemently denied.
“The first time around it was mostly just ‘liar,’ you know, ‘sk**k,’ ‘wh**e,’ that kind of stuff,” she said of the threats that started around 2018.
She said roughly one in 100 of the menacing messages she received at that time were death threats. Now, Daniels said, it’s one in 10.
“They are way more specific and graphic, and just, instead of some babbling person, like, ‘You’re gonna burn in hell,’ that kind of thing, they seem to be more … serious,” she said.
“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 suggested Trump’s fans have stepped up their attacks on her because the indictment “could actually hurt him” — either with a conviction or by ruining his chances of re-election in 2024.
“They’re a lot more passionate. I guess that’s a good word. Enthusiastic with their threats and they’re not hiding,” Daniels said.
Asked about the impact the threats have had on her life, the adult star said she lost her independence when the menacing remarks first gathered momentum — and she feared even going to the bathroom by herself.
“I didn’t even pee by myself for almost two years. I’m pretty independent. I’m pretty tough. I’m a writer and director and I showed horses, and did my own thing, and then suddenly I didn’t get to use the bathroom without two big armed bodyguards watching me pee for two years,” she said.
“That’s a lot, to have, to go from somebody who’s so independent to basically having an armed babysitter at all times.”
Trump became the first US president to be hit with criminal charges when a grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg voted to indict him in connection with hush-money payments made ahead of the 2016 election. He pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
