Stormy Daniels, the adult film star whos locked in an ongoing legal battle with President Donald Trump, is owed unclaimed residuals by SAG-AFTRA. The unions unclaimed residuals site doesnt say how much shes owed but notes that, “If the union is holding unclaimed residuals, it is because we cant locate you.”
Daniels, however, isnt that hard to locate – shes represented by newly famous attorney Michael Avanetti in her lawsuit against the president.
Most of her acting credits have been in adult films, which arent covered by SAG-AFTRA contracts, but shes also worked on several theatrical films and TV shows that are, including two films directed by Judd Apatow – The 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Several of her Knocked Up co-stars also are owed unclaimed SAG residuals, including Seth Rogen, Ken Jeong and Iris Apatow, the directors daughter. Daniels also has appeared on several TV series including The Mind of Mencia, Dirt, Party Down and The Soul Man. Her other feature film credits include Finding Bliss and the horror pic Saint Francis.
Daniels claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006 and, during the 2016 presidential campaign, accepted $130,000 in hush money from the then-GOP nominees attorney, Michael Cohen, to keep quiet about it. Trump has denied the affair but acknowledges that he reimbursed Cohen for the payoff via a “retainer” in order to put an end to her “false and extortionist accusations.”
In her lawsuit against Trump, she seeks to be released from a non-disclosure agreement she signed in exchange for the payoff. She says the agreement never was signed by Trump, who was reportedly referred to as “David Dennison” in the agreement that she signed under her real name, Stephanie Clifford.
