Stormy Daniels, the famed porn actress, writer and director, is set to receive PornHub’s lifetime achievement award later this month. In an exclusive interview with Page Six about the honor, Daniels said that her alleged 2006 tryst with Donald Trump stands out as her biggest regret. When asked what she’d do differently if she could have her time again, she told them unequivocally, “Not go to that hotel room.” She fears that the scandal could lead to someone “even worse” than Trump taking the White House.
Daniels is being recognized “for her many contributions, which have helped shape the face of the adult industry as well as American history.” She has worked to promote and protect those in the industry, and has helped get two officers from the Columbus, Ohio, vice squad fired for their part in her wrongful arrest during a performance at a strip club in the city. She also took the stand in New York and refused to let her career be used against her in her trial against Michael Avenatti.
A high point of her career was her first feature film, erotic Western “Wanted,” in 2015. “It had all the pieces: it had a great story, it had great actors and actresses, it had fight scenes and period wardrobe and location because it was set in the 1880s.” Daniels will become the second recipient of PornHub’s lifetime achievement award, after Italian adult star Ciccolina received the first one in 2020.
