Taking advantage of her new-found fame after rumors emerged that she had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006, porn star Stormy Daniels said in a statement on Tuesday that the alleged affair never happened.
Keith Davidson, a lawyer for Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, confirmed the statement was authentic but didn’t offer any further details, according to a report in The Associated Press. Right after the president’s State of the Union address, Clifford appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and acted coy about the rumors. She dodged most of his questions about the alleged affair with Trump by either remaining silent or cracking jokes.
Kimmel began the interview by displaying a copy of the signed statement and comparing her signature on it to other examples. They didn’t match, he said, asking if she had signed it. “I don’t know, did I?” she replied with a sly smile. “That doesn’t look like my signature, does it?” The ABC host asked if that was an admission that the statement was written and released without her approval, which elicited a coy look and a giggle from Clifford.
Clifford has been making the talk show circuit lately as she promotes strip club appearances with a risque play on Trump’s “Make America Great Again,” campaign slogan. Throughout the rest of the interview, Clifford dodged questions about whether she had signed a non-disclosure agreement; if an In Touch magazine interview about the so-called affair was accurate (she said it wasn’t), and if the magazine’s full transcript of her comments was accurate. When Kimmel started to read details of her alleged encounters with Trump, Clifford interrupted, quipping, “I thought this was a talk show, not a horror movie. Because this is a whole different pay scale.”
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, brokered a $130,000 payment to Clifford to keep her from publicly discussing the alleged affair, but Cohen has denied there was any affair. In her statement Tuesday, Clifford said she wasn’t denying the affair because she was paid “hush money,” but rather “because it never happened.” Kimmel’s show opened with him and Clifford seated in armchairs and watching Trump’s State of the Union address. “Enough of this. Stormy, show me on the puppet what he did to you,” Kimmel said to her, holding up a doll dressed in a shirt and briefs and with a mop of Trump-like hair. Clifford produced a blond female doll with duct tape across its mouth, and gave a small nod as she looked at the camera.
