Career
Daniels started her career in the adult entertainment industry when she was 17 and appeared in a “guest set” at a club. She then became featured and used the moniker “Stormy Daniels,” named so because her father considered “Stormy” for her, and she named herself after Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx’s daughter.
She began her career in adult films in 2002 shooting for Sin City and Wicked Pictures. She earned an Adult Video News (AVN) Best New Starlet award in 2004 for her work at the onset of a successful career in adult. Daniels has since become a prolific film director of adult films and has received several awards and has been inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame and the XRCO Hall of Fame.
A grassroots movement to draft Daniels to run against Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter was launched in 2009. She established an exploratory committee and later became a self-declared Republican candidate in 2010. Daniels was motivated by a revelation about Republican National Committee spending at a “lesbian bondage-themed nightclub” she considered to be following her libertarian views about money and sex.
Daniels was also involved in a court case with Donald Trump in 2018 concerning a hush money payment worth $130,000 on account of a reported affair in 2006. She sued on the grounds of non-disclosure agreement nullification and this was followed by a series of court hearings and public declarations.
