Former adult film star Stormy Daniels believes that Melania Trump should walk away from her marriage to Donald Trump.
Her reasons include that the former US president is now a convicted felon and was found liable for assault. Trump was convicted of 34 criminal charges of falsifying business documents and will soon be sentenced.
Stormy Daniels, who has been lauded for her role in the conviction of former President Donald Trump, has also demanded his imprisonment.
Stormy Daniels Says Melania Trump 'Needs To Leave' Donald Trump
Daniels gave the advice to Melania about leaving her husband, Trump, during a newly released interview with The Mirror.
During the interview, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was asked if Melania should leave Trump after about 19 years of marriage.
"I don't know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him," Daniels said. "Not because of what he did with me or other women but because he is a convicted felon."
She added, "It's been proven he is abusive; he was found liable for sexual assault and tax fraud and is now a criminal. He's neither Teflon Don nor Teflon Con anymore."
The "assault" Daniels referenced is when Trump was found liable for sexual assault against writer E. Jean Carroll. The conviction came after a civil jury heard her suit accusing him of raping her in a New York department store back in the 90s.
Stormy Daniels Calls Donald Trump An 'Orange Stain'
During the lengthy interview, Daniels complained about how her affiliation with Trump has affected her.
She called him "an orange stain that is going to be on me for a very long time" and said the affiliation is "like a scarlet letter but worse."
The adult film star claimed that Trump had gone "unchecked until now, but checkmate motherf--ker."
Daniels also shared her opinion on Trump's sentencing following the jury's conviction on all charges.
She suggested that the politician "be sentenced to jail and some community service working for the less fortunate or being the volunteer punching bag at a women's shelter."
The Former President Was Found Guilty Of All 34 Charges
Last week, Trump was found guilty of all 34 criminal charges accusing him of falsifying business records to hide his hush money payment to Daniels just before his Presidential election in 2016.
Trump tried to buy Daniels' silence on their alleged sexual encounter in 2006, at which time he and Melania were already married.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee will be sentenced on July 11th, which is four days before the Republican Party holds its National Convention.
During the highly publicized trial, Melania and Ivanka Trump were noticeably absent at the court sittings to support the ex-president. However, other family members, such as Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Jr., and multiple Republican representatives were present.
Stormy Daniels Says She Understands Why Melania Trump Did Not Show Up In Court
Star witness Michael Cohen mentioned Melania's name during proceedings despite her absence from the courtroom. During his testimony, Cohen recalled a conversation with Trump about how his wife would take the news of the affair.
The former president reportedly told him, "Don't worry. How long do you think I will be on the market for? Not long."
Daniels commented on Melania and Ivanka's absence from the proceedings. The former adult film star told the Mirror that she understood the women's decision not to attend because she also "would not want to expose my children to that dangerous environment."
She said, "And Melania and Ivanka are both parents, their mothers who have younger children, and that would be my reason. You know, if it was the other way around, even if I wanted to support my spouse or my family member, I would choose the safety and privacy of my child over attending court."
Donald Trump Says The Trial Was Hard On His Wife
During a recent interview on "Fox and Friends Sunday," Trump revealed that his New York hush money trial has been tough on his family.
While speaking about the effect of his trial on the former first lady, Trump said, "She's fine, but I think it's very hard for her," adding that "in many ways, it's tougher on them [his family] than it is on me."
Trump also told the news outlet that he has no issues going to jail, but he is "not sure the public would stand for it."
"I think it would be tough for the public to take," he said, per BBC. "You know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point."
