Adult film star Stormy Daniels, 44, has reportedly beefed up her personal security after receiving a series of death threats over her role in the expected arrest of former US President Donald Trump.
On the other hand, Daniels has also been boasting online about a surge in orders for her merchandise and signed X-rated photos.
Speaking to a news outlet, Daniels’ attorney, Clark Brewster, said they had noticed a spike in death threats and what he called “vitriolic messages” since Trump’s announcement on Saturday that he would be arrested on Tuesday, March 21, for hush money payments he made to Daniels before the 2016 election, in order to keep her quiet about their alleged affair.
Although it is still unclear if and when Trump will be arrested, as the New York grand jury is still hearing witnesses and was expected to hear from at least one more, local law enforcement and other agencies have been placed on high alert after the former president called for mass protests.
According to Attorney Brewster, Stormy Daniels has also taken extra precautions and increased her security but he didn’t want to go into detail about any specific security arrangements.
Brewster has always acknowledged that the former porn star has for years had personal security whenever she has needed it. He also confirmed to the media that he and Daniels had met with prosecutors earlier.
Since Trump announced on his social media platform Truth Social that he would be arrested on Tuesday, Daniels has received countless hate-filled messages on social media, especially on Twitter, and has responded to quite a number of the since-deleted messages.
The porn star has been called many hateful things, including a “degenerate prostitute” and an “extortionist who deserves to be in prison.”
Trump, who still denies allegations of cheating on his wife Melania with Daniels, now calls the porn star a “horse face.”
On the other hand, Daniels refers to Trump as “tiny.”
However, death threats are not the only by-product of the Trump case, as Daniels tweeted on Monday that she had been experiencing a surge in demand for her merchandise and photos. She has also been in the news lately because it has been reported that she secretly married fellow porn star Barrett Blade, 49, in December 2022.
A Manhattan grand jury has been looking into Trump’s alleged $130,000 payment to Daniels in 2016 for an affair that happened years earlier, which Trump vehemently denies.
Notably, Trump’s attorney of many years, Michael Cohen, served time in prison for giving Daniels the money.
