Stormy Daniels saw a 32,400% increase in Pornhub searches during Trump’s arrest

When it rains it pours, and yesterday was stormy in the best way for Ms. Stormy Daniels, the porn actress at the center of President Donald Trump accusation. The adult movie star-turned-ghostbuster-turned-ghostbuster (yes…) didn’t just get confirmation that Trump transformed himself in a Manhattan court Some love was shown to her in other ways for concealing the hush money he sent her in the run-up to the October 2016 presidential election; looking for her reached an all-time high on Pornhub.

On Tuesday the The site saw 662,319 searches for “Stormy Daniels,” according to Pornhub stats, a 32,400 percent increase from the first quarter of 2023. Searches for just “Stormy” were also up 500 percent. (I suppose some folks in a hurried, horny rush couldn’t dwell on their last name.) The latter piece of data was captured at 1 p.m. EST. Trump turned himself in at around 2:30 p.m. EST. I like to think that users searching for Daniels on Pornhub have opted out of the site only to tune in to the charges.

What’s not entirely clear is whether Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, is getting any kind of financial kickback from this surge of interest around her on the site. If the users searching for her name are subscribing to her content on the site, then she surely is – otherwise a million views for a video gets content creators around $700, according to Pornhub. Pornhub and Daniels didn’t answer Jezebel’s question about the winnings. And OnlyFans, when asked if they’d seen an increase in subscribers or traffic to Daniel’s account, replied that they don’t post that kind of information about their content creators.

Ideally, she sees it some a cash win of sorts, because while she was clearly in a good mood yesterday, she was too ordered by the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to pay $120,000 to cover Trump’s legal fees in another case. Daniels sued Trump for defamation in 2018 after he called her account of their affair a “total fraud.” Unfortunately, the judge ruled that his stupidity was covered by the First Amendment.

Top creators on OnlyFans can do millions per year and Pornhub conditions The Their mockup program allows some developers to bring in $40,000 a month. I wish Ms. Daniels nothing but clear skies and fat wallets!
