The Dark Side of Porn Part 2

I decided to have a look at the history of pornstar Stormy Daniels as I was curious how the President of the United States was able to stay in power after an alledged affair with her. I suppose Donald Trump is the most powerful man on Earth and with that comes a big ego trip. Still it does make me wonder how someone like that can stay in a morally acceptable standing with 'Joe public' after basically cheating on his wife with an adult film star.

Stormy Daniels was born Stephanie Clifford on March 17th 1979 and has curves of 39-26-36. At four years old her parents Sheila and Bill Gregory divorced and Stephanie was raised by her mother.

After graduating from Scotlandville Magnet High School in Baton Rouge back in 1997 she had aspirations of becoming a journalist. It sounds like Stephanie had a rough time growing up as she describes coming from a 'lower income household.'

Stephanie describes the neighborhood as rough and at times the family didn't have any electricity. Despite this she managed to find work answering telephones at a riding stable. Stephanie has a life long love of horses and currently owns several of the animals. Stephanie has also won multiple blue ribbons at various equestrian events.

At the age of 17 Stephanie started stripping at gentleman's clubs. Her first job was at Gold Club in Baton Rouge. During this time around September 2000 she also became a featured dancer with the Continental Theatrical Agency. While working as a featured entertainer Stephanie met adult film star Devon Michaels who was performing an all-girl scene in a pair of adult films; one for Wicked Pictures & one for Sin City. If you've ever seen Devon she's very sexy with a body builder type physique. She does some really good work if you ever get the chance to watch her. Devon invited Stephanie to accompany her and she ended up starring along side her in the Sin City picture 'American Girls: Part 2.'

Through doing this she met with Brad Armstrong who invited Stephanie to stay with him. Stephanie took her name Stormy Daniels from her love of the band Motley Crue. Their bassist Nikki Sixx named his daughter 'Storm.'

The second part of her name actually comes from a Jack Daniels advertisement to which Stormy liked the tag line; 'Southern Favorite.'

Stormy did her first boy/girl scene in July 2002 for the Wicked Pictures film, Heat. The following September she signed an exclusive contract with Wicked. This seemed to pay off as in 2004 she won the 'Best New Starlet Award' from Adult Video News. Funnily enough Storm made a $500 bet with another performer that blonde bombshell Jesse Jane would win. Wicked obviously saw Stormy's talent as she has directed for them since 2004.

Stormy has been married multiple times throughout her life and back in 2019 actually came out as 'bi-sexual.'

Stormy was married to Pat Myne between the years 2003 and 2005 taking his surname 'Clifford.' She then got married to fellow performer 'Mike Mo' (real name Michael Mosny) between the years 2007 and 2009. Unfortunately it looks like the relationship turned sour back in July 2009 when Mike Mo had Stormy arrested on a domestic violence charge. It doesn't seem to have put Stormy off though as she married Glendon Crain back in 2010. Stormy actually had a daughter to Crain but sadly he filed for divorce as well back in July 2018.

While Stormy is known for her various adult movies and adult business awards, what really marked her career was her alledged affair with now President Donald Trump. Reading the details of the case it really is a political mess and emphasises the corrupt personalities in the government. Back in 2016 leading up to the presidential election in America, Trump's lawyer paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 in 'silence money' to not speak about or deny an affair the pair had back in 2006. Michael Cohen denied the existence of an affair between his client and Stormy Daniels but did admit to using his personal funds to pay $130,000 to a Miss Stephanie Clifford. This was obviously a tactic to dissociate Trump with the transaction, who doesn't seemed to have suffered publically from the affair. The situation seems to get even dirtier after this as in March 2018 Stormy filed a lawsuit against the president Donald Trump stating that the non-disclosure agreement she had previously signed was invalid as Donald himself had not signed it. It appears the pair were involved in some dirty business; one out to protect his position of power while the other looking to make some cash. Stormy alledged also that Trump's attorney had tried to intimidate and scare her into not talking. Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen tried to counter the claims intiating an 'ex parte arbitration process' which commenced an order that barred Daniels from disclosing 'confidential information' relating to the agreement. Stormy's lawyers dismissed this as bogus as the order itself was suppose to be confidential. On March 25th 2018 Stormy was interviewed by 60 Minutes on American TV disclosing she had sex with Donald once and that she'd been threatened infront of her infant daughter as a result. It appears she felt threatened to sign the non-disclosure agreement. The following April after Michal Cohen's office had been raided by the FBI; Stormy filed a lawsuit against the president because he called her statements fraudulent on social media site Twitter. Unfortunately for her the suit was dismissed on the grounds of the 'First Amendment.'

The following August, Trump's lawyer reached a type of 'plea deal' wih prosecutors stating that he paid off Stormy Daniels at the direction of the candidate and for the purpose of influencing the election. Cohen offered to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement if Stormy refunded the $130,000 she was paid. In the meantime Trump's lawyers have stated that they will neither enforce the non-disclosure agreement nor contest Stormy's claim that it is invalid.

It's some really dirty business involved with this situation as it didn't just stop in the court room or in the media either.

In July of that year police had Stormy Daniels arrested in Columbus , Ohio on the charge of 'fondling' patrons in a strip club. She was arrested with two other strippers who didn't have their mugshots taken like Stormy. Apparently the trio were in violation of Ohio Strip Club laws. Luckily Stormy's lawyer had the charges dismissed 12 hours later as the law did not apply to out of town performers. She later received $450,000 in compensation as five police officier were guilty of conduct violations. There is some dirty, seedy business involved in this affair between a President and a pornstar. Both irresponsible but with egos that can't be suppressed or intimidated. One has to question why we put such arrogant figures as our head of government. Will we continue to make the same mistakes of electing such an official or is sex and scandal just part of our culture now?
