Yes, that’s not a typo or a Mad Libs post.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger really did get mentioned by Stormy Daniels, who was on the stand to testify at Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Tuesday.
Why? Here’s the answer: Daniels told the story of an alleged encounter with Trump in her 2018 book, in which she met Trump in Lake Tahoe back in 2006. The day after her night with Trump, she met Roethlisberger. Here’s more from CNN: “He was chatting with Trump, and at the end of the night Trump asked Roethlisberger to walk her up to her hotel room.”
Here’s the rest of that alleged interaction:
She says he asked her for a “good night kiss.” She refused. She says he pushed lightly on her door as they stood outside her hotel room.
“I was terrified. I am rarely terrified,” Daniels wrote, saying Roethlisberger responded, saying, “‘Come on.’”
CBS News reported that Daniels mentioned this meeting with Roethlisberger during her testimony on Tuesday.
