WATCH: 5 Craziest Moments From Stormy Daniels’ Bombshell 60 Minutes Interview
Stormy Daniels’ highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper dropped on Sunday night, and certainly lived up to expectations: the former porn star went into gruesome detail about her alleged sexual affair with the then-businessman in 2006.
Daniels, who was 27 when she met the 60-year-old Trump at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, claims she had sex with him in his hotel suite — shortly after his third wife Melania gave birth to his son Barron. She is now suing the president to get out of a nondisclosure agreement she was paid $130,000 to sign weeks before the 2016 election to keep quiet about the affair.
Here are the five craziest moments from Daniels’ interview with Cooper:
1. Stormy says Trump compared her to his daughter Ivanka after she spanked him with a magazine with his face on the cover.
Stormy claimed that Trump boasted of a magazine he was on the cover of — and that she responded by making him pull his pants down so she could spank him with the magazine. She told Cooper that after the spanking, Trump loosened up.
“He was like, ‘Wow, you are special. You remind me of my daughter.’ You know– he was like, ‘You’re smart and beautiful, and a woman to be reckoned with, and I like you. I like you,'” Daniels said.
2. Stormy says Trump dismissed her questions about his wife Melania by explaining that they didn’t sleep in the same room.
Daniels told Cooper that when she asked about Melania — Trump’s third wife who had just given birth to son Barron — Trump dismissed her concerns:
“I asked,” Stormy said. “And he brushed it aside, said, ‘Oh yeah, yeah, you know, don’t worry about that. We don’t even– we have separate rooms and stuff.'”
3. Stormy says she definitely did not want to have sex with Trump, and that they did not use a condom.
Here’s a stunning exchange between Cooper and Daniels:
Cooper: Were you physically attracted to him?
Daniels: No.
Cooper: Not at all?
Daniels: No.
Cooper: Did you want to have sex with him?
Daniels: No. But I didn’t say no. I’m not a victim.
Cooper: It was entirely consensual.
Daniels: Oh, yes, yes.
Cooper: You work in an industry where condom use is an issue. Did he use a condom?
Daniels: No.
4. Stormy Daniels says Trump made her participate in Shark Week.
Daniels said that in July 2007, one year after their first encounter, she met with Trump at his bungalow in the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he subjected her to an episode of Shark Week.
“I remember arriving, and he was watching Shark Week. He made me sit and watch an entire documentary about shark attacks,” Stormy said.
The meeting to watch Shark Week was arranged on the pretense that Trump had “a development” to share with her about an opportunity to appear on the Celebrity Apprentice.
“Well, I’d been there for, like, four hours. And so I then was like, “Well, before, you know, can we talk about what’s the development?” And he was like, ;I’m almost there. I’ll have an answer for you next week.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, cool. Well– I guess call me next week.’ And I just took my purse and left.”
According to Daniels, Trump called her the next month to say he could not get her a spot on the Apprentice. They never met again.
5. Stormy says she and her infant daughter were threatened by a man in a Las Vegas parking lot.
Five years after the alleged affair, Daniels was shopping her story to a magazine — but it was spiked after Trump lawyer Michael Cohen threatened to sue. A month later, Daniels said a man approached her in a parking lot:
“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,” she said. “And a guy walked up on me and said to me, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.” And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.” And then he was gone.”
“You took it as a direct threat?” Cooper asked.
“Absolutely,” Stormy replied. “I was rattled. I remember going into the workout class. And my hands are shaking so much, I was afraid I was gonna drop her.”
