Hollywood has some choice reactions to last night's big sit-down.
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels sat down with Anderson Cooper on last night's 60 Minutesto talk about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, and brought in the highest ratings for the program in ten years, since the Obamas' 2008 post-election interview. While on air, Daniels revealed that she'd taken a $130,000 deal to keep quiet about her affair with Trump, and that she had been threatened by a man in a parking lot in 2011.
"I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. Taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, getting all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story," she explained. "And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, 'That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom.' And then he was gone."
She also revealed that Trump had dangled the idea of Daniels appearing on The Celebrity Apprentice after they had their sexual encounter in July 2006.
Hollywood has been particularly vibrant in their reactions to the enlightening interview--here are some key responses:
\u201cOne has a sense that the Stormy Daniels interview tonight was but the first squalls of a gathering tempest.\u201d— Dan Rather (@Dan Rather) 1522034970
\u201cFirst Karen McDougal this week, now Stormy Daniels - poor Anderson Cooper hasn\u2019t been made to think about pussy this much his entire life!\u201d— Bill Maher (@Bill Maher) 1522031667
\u201cWith the country\u2019s fate hanging in the balance it feels very wrong to ask for no Stormy Daniels spoilers and yet here I am\u201d— Lena Dunham (@Lena Dunham) 1522029643
\u201cThe Stormy Daniels story isn't about Trump having an affair with a porn star. That's not news. It is about his campaign trying to threaten, intimidate and illegally use campaign funds to buy her silence just weeks before the election. Don't let the lurid details overshadow this.\u201d— George Takei (@George Takei) 1522020314
\u201cTo be honest, I'd be more interested in hearing Stormy Daniels interview Anderson Cooper about wild sexual shenanigans.\u201d— Louis Virtel (@Louis Virtel) 1522035351
\u201cIT IS STORMY TIME\u201d— chrissy teigen (@chrissy teigen) 1522021023
\u201cDonald got spanked on his ass by his own face\u201d— chrissy teigen (@chrissy teigen) 1522021410
\u201cI learned nothing new from it. Perhaps I just know too much and expect so little from this vile little man.\u201d— chrissy teigen (@chrissy teigen) 1522028541
\u201cToo many of you didn\u2019t watch the second half and are very confused by the Greek basketball player thing. There are no greek basketball players involved in the Stormy/Trump scandal.\u201d— chrissy teigen (@chrissy teigen) 1522029336
\u201cNot yet at least.\u201d— chrissy teigen (@chrissy teigen) 1522029336
