A former adult film star who claimed she once had a sexual encounter with President Donald Trump didn’t hold back when describing the experience.

In her memoir, Stormy Daniels offered a blunt and highly unflattering assessment of the alleged encounter — even comparing the president’s anatomy to a surprising object.

Unflattering comparison
Stormy Daniels once sparked controversy after making blunt comments about Donald Trump’s anatomy during a television interview. The former adult film actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, made the remarks in 2018 while promoting her memoir Full Disclosure during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In the book, she described an alleged sexual encounter with Trump that she says took place in 2006 — something the president has repeatedly denied.

During the interview, Stormy Daniels elaborated on a passage from the memoir that had already gained widespread attention online.

In the book, she described the encounter in unflattering terms and compared Trump’s anatomy to a mushroom character from Mario Kart.

Host Jimmy Kimmel played along with the moment by bringing out several mushrooms and asking Daniels to choose which one most closely resembled what she had described. Daniels joked about the situation before selecting one of the smallest mushrooms on display.

She also spoke about the reaction her comments received afterward.

“Do you know how much hate mail I’ve gotten from people who love Mario Kart?” she said. “In one day, I managed to ruin half of America’s childhood and mushroom farming everywhere.”

How they met, according to Daniels
Daniels also shared how the alleged encounter began. She said the two first met at a golf tournament and that Trump later invited her to dinner in his hotel suite. According to Daniels, when he opened the door he was wearing silky black pajamas.

“I’m pretty sure I thought he was channeling Hugh Hefner — but significantly less sexy,” she said.

She claimed the dinner he had promised never actually happened.

“Like, he lied to me,” she said. “I’m very food-motivated. That’s why I stayed and held out for so long because I was told there would be snacks. I was starving!”

Convicted on 34 counts
Daniels also recounted another moment from the story in which she said she spanked Trump with a magazine that featured his own face on the cover — a scene she even briefly reenacted during the show.

Her account later became a key part of the legal case that unfolded in New York in 2024.

Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records after arranging for his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay Daniels $130,000 ahead of the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about the alleged relationship.

While testifying during the trial, Daniels repeated her claims about the 2006 meeting in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite. She told the court that Trump had been wearing silk pajamas and asked her questions before the encounter.

Trump has consistently denied that any affair took place.

Following the conviction, his legal team filed a lengthy appeal arguing that the case was politically motivated. His lawyers described it as “the most politically charged prosecution in our Nation’s history,” claiming prosecutors had improperly built felony charges during a presidential election campaign.

They also argued that some of the evidence should have been excluded because of a Supreme Court ruling stating that presidents cannot be prosecuted for actions considered “official acts.”
