Earlier this year, porn star said she accepted hush money so Donald Trump could not have her killed

Stormy Danielsā€™ lawyerĀ has revealed that the porn star wore a bullet-proof vest toĀ Donald Trumpā€™s hush money trialĀ  because she feared what ā€œsome nut might do to herā€.

Clark Brewster, Ms Danielsā€™ attorney, toldĀ CNNĀ that testifying in the historic trial had taken its toll on her, revealing that she cried herself to sleepĀ the night before taking the stand.

ā€œShe wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse,ā€ he said.

ā€œShe was paralyzed with fear ā€“ not of taking the stand or telling her story, but what might some nut might do to her. And Iā€™m genuinely concerned about it as well.ā€

    Haha, people choose the language that supports the narrative theyā€™re peddling.

    When emphasizing how bad Trumpā€™s actions were, he cheated on his wife with a porn star. When trying to make it no big deal, he had a fling with an escort.

    When trying to humanize Stormy Daniels, sheā€™s an adult film actress. When trying to tear her down, sheā€™s basically a hooker.

      It stood out to me because I happened to hear one of the talking heads refer to her as a porn star - but the guy was definitely left of center and was overall bashing the twice-impeached president. So I thought oh maybe weā€™re trynna normalize porn star as a phrase!

        Its already the norm though, Iā€™ve always heard the term porn star, the others Iā€™ve been only hearing since a year or two. Albeit I donā€™t live in an english speaking country.

        It is normal, isnā€™t it? ā€œAdult film actressā€ is a euphemism, I canā€™t imagine hearing anyone I know say it.

        Itā€™s interesting that when talking about films and TV we often use actor to describe both men and women, but in porn women are always actresses haha.
