Porn actress Stormy Daniels (44) has postponed a much-anticipated exclusive interview with presenter Piers Morgan (58) at the last minute. The reason is “security concerns,” as Morgan announced on Twitter. “Sadly, Stormy Daniels had to reschedule our interview tonight due to security issues. I hope she’s ok,” Morgan wrote.
A report by The Times seems to confirm the reason for the cancellation. In an interview with the newspaper, Daniels said, “The number and intensity [of the verbal attacks] is the same as the first time, but this time it’s downright violent,” she says. “The first time it was ‘gold digger’, ‘slut’, ‘whore’, ‘liar’ and so on. And this time it’s ‘I’m going to kill you’. They’re a lot more violent and graphic.” For the first time she was afraid, she admitted.
In addition, according to “Deadline”, tweets promoting the interview have since been removed by Morgan and the broadcaster TalkTV. Daniels has not yet publicly commented on the postponement. In her last tweet on Friday, she thanked her followers for their support and drank champagne.
It would have been the first interview Daniels would have given after former President Donald Trump was indicted in New York over alleged hush money payments to the ex-porn actress.
“It’s a confirmation,” Daniels told The Times, sounding more cautious than triumphant, according to the newspaper. “But it’s bittersweet. He’s done so many worse things that he should have been stopped sooner. I know the madness that he’s failing a pornstar now. But it’s also poetic; that pussy groped back. ” With the last sentence she alludes to Trump’s famous sentence that as a star you can simply grab women by their genitals (“Grab ’em by the pussy”).
Trump is the first US President to be impeached for a crime. He has denied any wrongdoing. Daniels claims he had an affair with Trump, which Trump denies. In the wake of the allegations, his former attorney paid Daniels hush money ahead of the 2016 presidential election. These payments may have violated the Campaign Finance Act, which would constitute a criminal offense.
