During the recent legal proceedings involving Stormy Daniels and her documentary with NBC, Trump attorney Susan Necheles delved into the financial aspects of the project. Necheles inquired about the $100,000 payment Daniels received for the documentary, to which Daniels explained that a significant portion of the funds went towards reimbursing the cameraman.
Daniels clarified that she initiated the filming process herself, indicating that the filmmakers did not need to persuade her to participate. Necheles further probed into Daniels' personal life, questioning whether she had engaged in a romantic relationship with one of the documentary producers. Despite objections from prosecutor Susan Hoffinger, Judge Juan Merchan permitted Daniels to respond.
Daniels disclosed that she was separated from her husband at the time and had indeed started dating one of the cameramen involved in the project. She mentioned that the cameraman ceased filming once their relationship began.
Necheles also raised the issue of Daniels hosting viewing parties at bars for the documentary and selling tickets, insinuating that Daniels was profiting from the film in multiple ways. However, Daniels refuted this claim, stating that she had not made any profit from the documentary and that the funds generated were solely covering her travel and other related expenses.
