Adult film actress Stormy Daniels released a new statement on Tuesday just hours before she is scheduled to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” following President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
“Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago,” Daniels said in a statement.
“The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018,” she continued. “I am not denying the affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened.”
Daniels also asked people to follow her Instagram account.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Daniels received a $130,000 payment before the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence, something that both she and Trump have denied.
Kimmel has been eagerly awaiting Daniels’ appearance on his show, tweeting about it a few times over the last week:
In light of Daniels’ new statement, it looks like Kimmel will be in for a disappointing evening.
