Stormy Daniels Breaks Silence on Donald Trump's Conviction: 'I Still Have to Live with the Legacy'

Stormy Daniels is speaking out for the first time since Donald Trump became a convicted felon at the hands of a Manhattan jury.

In conversation with MirrorDaniels, 45, said: “I think he should be sentenced to prison and community service for the less fortunate, or as a punching bag volunteer at a women’s shelter.”

Explaining that she thinks Trump, 77, is “completely and completely out of touch with reality,” Daniels then spoke about her experience in court during the trial, saying, “You always feel like you’re the villain, even when you’re not just on to that standard.”

“Being in court was so scary with jurors looking at you, but I’m glad things came out in court that wanted to come out and be proven,” she continued. “I’ve been telling the truth all along. It’s not over for me. It will never be over for me. Trump may be guilty, but I still have a legacy to live with.”

According to Mirror, Daniels was “shocked” at how quickly the jury found Trump guilty.

When asked by the media what Trump’s punishment should be, Daniels said, “I don’t know what the punishment could be or what Trump will even understand.”

“You have to find a punishment that not only fits the crime, but is fair and just, and affects that particular person. Who knows what it is with Trump,” she explained.

In April 2023, Trump—the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in 2024—was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records for allegedly mislabeling secret money-related payments as legal fees on financial documents.

Prosecutors alleged that Trump falsified records to cover up a $130,000 payment his lawyer made to Daniels in the final days of the 2016 presidential race to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual encounter they had years earlier, which Trump has repeatedly denied.

Prosecutors further wanted to prove that by masking the nature of his “legal fees,” Trump was trying to hide a larger conspiracy with his allies to illegally swing the election in his favor.

During her trial testimony, Daniels recounted the alleged 2006 affair in great detail.

Taking the jury through her side of the story, she claimed that Trump invited her to dinner in his penthouse hotel room in Nevada during a golf tournament and that they had sex without a condom.

On May 14, Daniels’ husband, Barrett Blade, told CNN about the backlash the former adult film star has faced from Trump supporters, and said he doesn’t see the outcome of the trial as a “win-win situation” for Daniels.

“I know we would like to move on with our lives. I know she wants to stop this,” Blade said. “We just want to do what I guess normal people can do in some respects, but I don’t know if it ever will, you know, and it breaks my heart.”

Blade added that they would “probably leave” the United States if Trump is acquitted.

The indictment in Manhattan made Trump the first sitting or former US president to face criminal charges. He is now the first US president to be convicted of a felony and is expected to become the first convicted felon to run on a major presidential ticket after the Republican National Convention this summer.

Trump has been caught in three additional criminal cases that have yet to go to trial. His federal classified documents trial in Florida was scheduled to begin on May 20, but was delayed indefinitely due to multiple pretrial issues.
