Stormy Daniels has opened up about her reaction to the news that former President Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of felony.
Daniels, 45, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, took part in an explosive and emotional interview with Fox 101.9’s Fifi, Fev & Nick on Thursday.
Daniels revealed she was only hoping for a single guilty charge against Trump, but was overwhelmed when the judge announced he was guilty on all 34 counts related to the hush-money scandal.
‘My 13-year-old daughter was with me. I was just crying in her lap,’ she shared, her voice breaking with emotion.
Reflecting on her infamous night with Trump, Daniels didn’t hold back.

‘You say that I reminded you of your daughter that night. Is this how you want her to be treated? Do you not want to be an example to your children? Speak the truth. Do the right thing. Leave my family alone,’ she said in words directed at the former President.
The adult film star added, ‘I wished I had stayed out of that hotel room.’
Daniels was in the midst of directing a mainstream movie when she heard the news of the verdict.

The adult film star also reflected on her tumultuous journey in the public eye, saying, ‘I wished I had stayed out of that hotel room’
‘I had talent on a horse. My phone started ringing over and over, and I got like 17 text messages in a row that just said, ‘Verdict.’ I shut down my entire production just like you did your show. We all came running into the living room of the house we were shooting at and put it on.’
Daniels stated, ‘I did it for my family. I did it for my daughter. I did it for everybody, not just women. And I have been called every name in the book, but you know, one name that no one could call me, but I can call him: convicted.’
Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts over falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. He has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to appeal his ‘scam’ conviction.
Trump has used his conviction to step up his fundraising efforts but has not otherwise sought to mobilise his supporters.
Some Trump supporters have hung US flags upside down in the wake of the verdict. The inverted flag has been a symbol of distress or protest in America for over 200 years.
In an earlier interview with the Daily Mirror, Daniels called for Trump to be blocked from running for the presidency after last week’s shocking verdict calling the loophole which would allow him to be in office from a prison cell ‘crazy.’
Trump has denied ever having sexual relations with Daniels in 2006 while Melania was at home with their then-new born son, Barron.
Daniels was a key witness for the prosecution during the trial which saw Trump convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records
