Today In Film: Stormy's Story




With excellent timing, a documentary featuring adult film star Stormy Daniels' account of her one night stand with the Malignant Loser in 2006 (while wife Melanoma Melania was with their infant son) and the aftermath has been released just weeks before the hush money trial begins. It's now streaming on Peacock for those that subscribe to that service. Here's more on the documentary and the context:

"The movie hits U.S. streamer Peacock just weeks before the former president goes on trial for allegedly covering up hush-money payments to her, one of a number of criminal cases the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee faces.

The documentary uses interviews and contemporary footage to tell the story of what happened when Trump's team tried to keep news of their alleged entanglement quiet as he ran for the White House, paying the porn performer $130,000.

It details the fame that ensued for Daniels, including how she attracted large crowds on a strip tour, and how the pressure of that fame and media attention affected her family life.

The film also traces the story of how lawyer Michael Avenatti initially came to her aid as her biggest public supporter, but was in fact stealing from her.

Daniels, who in the documentary tells viewers she is a registered Republican, became for a while a liberal hero for the way she took on the former president in public.

"He has never thought that women like me matter," she says in one news conference included in the film. "That ends now."

Trump is due to go on trial in the coming weeks for allegedly covering up the payment to Daniels.

Prosecutors say the property magnate illegally covered up remittances to his longtime aide Michael Cohen to reimburse him for payments made to bury stories revealing the alleged dalliance with Daniels." (our emphasis)

She's gone through a lot, starting with the nauseating and humiliating experience of sex with the Malignant Loser, who disturbingly compared Stormy to his lusted-after daughter Ivanka. The media crush, the threats from MAGAts, the turmoil in her life were all part of the situation she weathered. The Malignant Loser's accounting for his abuse and election interference begins on March 25 in a New York courtroom where a date for the trial will be set.
