Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford (born
Stephanie A. Gregory; 17 March 1979), known professionally as Stormy
Daniels, is an American pornographic film actress, director and former
stripper. She has won many industry awards and is a member of the
NightMoves Hall of Fame, AVN Hall of Fame and XRCO Hall of Fame. In
2009, a recruitment effort led her to consider challenging incumbent
David Vitter in the 2010 Senate election in her native Louisiana.
Daniels became involved in a legal dispute with U.S. president Donald
Trump in 2018. Trump's attorney Michael Cohen paid $130,000 in hush
money to silence her about an affair she says she had with Trump in
2006. Trump has denied the affair and accused her of lying. Trump faced
34 State of New York felony charges of falsifying business records with
the intent to commit or conceal other crimes relating to these payments.
His trial on these charges began on April 15, 2024 and he was convicted
of these charges on May 30, 2024
She chose her stage name to reflect her love of Mötley Crüe whose
bassist Nikki Sixx named his son Storm.
