Horse Serious

Stormy Daniels alleges that supporters of Donald Trump targeted her home in Louisiana, where they purportedly shot her horse with a rubber bullet. She believes it was in retaliation for her previous claims of an affair with the former president. Revealing this horrible incident in her new documentary, “Stormy” on Peacock, Daniels recounts how these supporters sought to intimidate her following Trump’s indictment over a hush-money scheme, for which she was a central figure. Despite surviving the attack, Daniels’s horse still bears the scars from the incident.

Since the legal proceedings against Trump began, Daniels has endured a barrage of violent threats, often via social media channels, leaving her feeling unprotected by the authorities. In the documentary, she expresses her disappointment with the justice system, lamenting a lack of sufficient security measures. Recalling the frightening atmosphere during her “Make America Horny Again” tour, Daniels’s manager highlighted instances where individuals attempted to bring weapons into venues, highlighting the pervasive nature of the threats she faces.

Speaking to ABC News, Daniels emphasized the resurgence of hostility from Trump’s supporters following his indictment, likening their fervor to “suicide bombers” driven by misguided patriotism. Reflecting on her initial revelation of the affair in 2018, Daniels notes a heightened level of vitriol this time around, attributing it to perceived encouragement from certain quarters.

The impending hush-money trial, originally slated for March 25, has faced delays as Trump’s legal team seeks more time, citing the impact of the documentary’s release. Despite their efforts, the judge has indicated a preference for a shorter delay, hinting at a mid-April start date for the trial.
