The first footage from Peacock’s documentary shows Daniels dealing the hounding press, MAGA death threats and one shady lawyer.
Peacock has released the first trailer for its Stormy Daniels docu, which reveals never-before-seen footage showing Daniels’ roller-coaster life amid her legal sparring with Trump.
“Every time I stood up I got kicked down even harder, and I hit rock bottom,” Daniels says in the trailer below, which includes Daniels reading death threat on her phone. “I just wanted to stand up for myself. I won’t give up because I’m telling the truth.”
The footage also includes Daniels reacting in real time to discovering her celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti was stealing from her book proceeds.
“Michael Avenatti betrayed me in every way,” she declares. “You’re in prison, bitch!”
Stormy is directed and produced by Emmy nominee Sarah Gibson (Orgasm Inc: The Story of OneTaste) and executive produced by Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears), Judd Apatow, Sara Bernstein and Meredith Kaulfers.
The film will have its world premiere at South by Southwest Fest on Friday.
Stormy tells the unvarnished truth about an unlikely American icon–this time, in her own words.”
The former adult film star became household name in 2018 when The Wall Street Journal reported that Daniels had an affair with Trump in 2006 and was paid $130,000 in “hush money” in 2016 to keep quiet about it. Trump denied the affair happened.
Trump is currently facing a 34-count Federal criminal indictment in New York charging him with falsifying business records in connection with the payoff.
The case is the first of Trump’s 4 criminal cases to go to trial, though it is also considered by legal experts to be the weakest of the cases against him.
This week, Trump locked up the Republican nomination for president to run against Joe Biden in the November election.
