Stormy Daniels admitted her sordid past extends far beyond her tryst with Donald Trump as she revealed her bizarre motivations for getting into adult entertainment.
The 45-year-old porn star said she never intended to pursue a career as a stripper, but first did so in 1996 “so I could feed my horse.”
“I made more money in two songs than I did in a week shoveling horse manure,” she said, revealing all in the Daily Mail’s exclusive podcast: Everything I know about me.
Fresh off her testimony in Trump’s historic hush-money trial, Daniels gives an unflinching account of her life in the industry, from watching a fellow stripper get set on fire to convincing her daughter she was a spy.

In the first episode, which aired on June 11, Stormy revealed why she believes Melania “knows I’m telling the truth” about her affair with Trump.
She also lifted the lid on her role in the trial and her frustrations with the many misconceptions that resulted.
Daniels – real name Stephanie Clifford – has unexpectedly emerged as one of the most famous women in America, as a key witness in the first-ever criminal prosecution of a former president.
She told the jury how she was paid $130,000 by Trump’s campaign to keep quiet about her affair during the 2016 election.

The adult actress will tell her deeply personal story and reveal all about her dealings with the man who could be back in the White House in the Daily Mail’s exclusive podcast, Everything I Know About Me.
At the time of their alleged affair, Trump was a reality TV star and billionaire property developer, preparing to become a father for the fifth time, as Melania was heavily pregnant with son Barron.
Although Trump denies ever meeting Daniels, she says they first met at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006 before he invited her to his penthouse suite for dinner.
Daniels claims she regretted sleeping with Trump, but says she blocked out the memory and described “staring at the ceiling” in her blockbuster testimony.
Now Daniels is trying to set the record straight with her side of the story, and a raw retelling of how she became one of the most divisive figures in the US.
