Clark Brewster, Ms Daniels’ attorney, told CNN that testifying in the historic trial had taken its toll on her, revealing that she cried herself to sleep the night before taking the stand.
“She wore a bulletproof vest every day until she got to the courthouse,” he said.
“She was paralyzed with fear – not of taking the stand or telling her story, but what might some nut might do to her. And I’m genuinely concerned about it as well.”
I seem to recall we were saying “adult film star“ or “adult film actress“ and now the verbiage has shifted. If I’m right, then maybe it’s an attempt to destigmatize?
(“Porn” should also be more accurate given the number of adult films which are not pornographic)
Haha, people choose the language that supports the narrative they're peddling.
When emphasizing how bad Trump's actions were, he cheated on his wife with a porn star. When trying to make it no big deal, he had a fling with an escort.
When trying to humanize Stormy Daniels, she's an adult film actress. When trying to tear her down, she's basically a hooker.
It stood out to me because I happened to hear one of the talking heads refer to her as a porn star - but the guy was definitely left of center and was overall bashing the twice-impeached president. So I thought oh maybe we’re trynna normalize porn star as a phrase!
Its already the norm though, I've always heard the term porn star, the others I've been only hearing since a year or two. Albeit I don't live in an english speaking country.
Also, wasn't she actually a Producer for some adult content? Can't exactly do that while being a mindless "hole & a heartbeat", which is what their narrative is...
She does a handful of shoots as a performer still. Porn isn't the only thing she produces, either. She also does ghost hunting/paranormal investigations.
