Stormy

If one is looking for a salacious story of a low functioning woman, that is not her. It is a documentary about her life, and when she met Donald, she was already writing and producing, and hoped to make a horror film. Trump dangled the chance to be on Celebrity Apprentice, saying he had the veto-proof right to pick one person to be on the program. It is less about what happened with him than it is how it upended her life. Taken advantage of by male lawyers, at first just insulted, then threatened and stalked, making it almost impossible for her 7 y/o daughter to have a life. When she could not get jobs in the US, she set up a tour in Canada, only to find out that the FBI crime computer had an extensive list of arrests, which never happened. But she lost entry into Canada because of that. More lawsuits, and then the threats became more as death threats of a serious nature. In the end she says she doesn't want Trump to go to prison, but she is willing to go to prison rather than pay the judgment Trump got against her for legal fees. During the height of the Me-too movement, she got a lot of support from woman, but it also took a huge toll on her.

Well made, riveting, and an important piece of contemporary history. Bravery of a perfectly imperfect normal human being, rising to a level of bravery and persistent survivalism, that sets her apart and above the fray. In today's quicksand-like morass of gutless money and ego chasing humans, the non pretentious Stephanie Clifford/Stormy Daniels, lands somewhere in between the biblical figures of Tamar, Rahab, and the woman caught inn Adultery, in terms of an unlikely, but actual, human hero, human-in-distress, human being used by others, but continuing to fight and define and redefine where she is at, what are her goals, at each changing chapter in this historical drama unfolding before our eyes. My prayers and admiration for this woman and gratitude to her and the film makers and the honesty of herself and also to her ex-husband musician-guy, who along with Ms. Daniels, show love at both sides of a romance and marriage that both blossomed and then was crushed amidst all this, and the frailty of imperfect human choices evolving through this trial by fire.

While I will admit I didn't have a lot of sympathy for her going into the movie it changed my outlook on her and the... Shall we call it short affair?. For the most part when she spoke about him promising you an appearance in a season of The Apprentice she should have known it was a lie. Trump had a long history of screwing people he made promises to way before she met him. Just a quick Google search would have found her all the subcontractors he cheated while building the Atlantic City casino's... Not to mention the hundreds thrown out of work when they went bust (who ever heard of a casino losing money SMH)... But after watching the whole movie I was sorry for what she had to give up... I can't imagine what it felt like to have to give up custody of your daughter just to keep her safe and keep her from being assaulted by camera's where ever she went. Yes this documentary, which I might add was well shot, showed she made some bad choices (early on and some later) but I applaud her strength in telling her story at all.. She was in the right, but It took bravery to go through what she did and is doing.. Stay strong lady, You're fighting the good fight.

As someone who is totally uncomfortable with what Stormy does for a living and political sex scandals from Clinton to Trump, I was amazed how impressed I was with her resilience as a woman and a mother on every level. She navigated a very difficult childhood and jumped on opportunities that came her way to survive. The unsavory porn business is one thing but that is Trumps world. Trump was friends with Epstein and seducing a 27-year-old Stormy with sex in exchange for furthering her career and reneging is despicable. Her story and strength are beyond just entertaining because it's a true story. Respect and thanks to her and the people who did such a great job on this documentary.

Stormy Daniel said she didn't want to see Trump but then met up with him in a hotel room and had an intimate thing with him on the first night. Despite claiming she didn't want to do it, blah blah blah, she basically sold her body in exchange for future jobs with a rich man.

This documentary is one sided against Trump and totally neglected that maybe Stormy was the one who wanted to extract money from a wealthy man (let alone a future president back then).

This documentary doesn't age well and now the world has moved on and last I heard, she still owes Trump money after losing her defamation lawsuit against him.
