‘I Support Free Speech’: Stormy Daniels Poses With Jimmy Kimmel Amid Late-Night Host's Trump Feud

In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel and President Donald Trump firing shots at each other, adult film actress Stormy Daniels made headlines as she posted a picture of herself along with the late-night host.

She recently shared a selfie with Kimmel in a post on Instagram which quickly grabbed attention.

In the photo, the two were seen standing together backstage, which has now become a talking point.

The buzz around the post intensified because of the recent Trump-Kimmel feud, alongside Daniels' scandalous history linked to the president.

As tensions between Trump and Kimmel reached an all-time high following the latter's recent "widow" joke on First Lady Melania Trump, Daniels showed her support for the late-night host.

“I support @jimmykimmellive but most importantly I support free speech,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.

This comes after Kimmel sparked heavy backlash for roasting the first lady, saying that she had the glow of an “expectant widow,” just days ahead of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner shooting incident on April 25.

During a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host had said, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

Controversy erupted soon after, as the Trumps called for the television host's termination.

Taking to his Truth Social account, the president urged ABC to fire Kimmel.

Furthermore, Melania took to her X account to criticize the late-night host for taking aim at her family.

Meanwhile, amid the Kimmel-Trump controversy, Daniels remains a key figure in scandals surrounding the president.

According to a BBC report, Daniels had previously claimed that she and Trump had a s*xual encounter in 2006, which the president has denied.

However, her allegations later became central to a hush-money case that drew people's attention.

In 2016, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly paid the adult film actress $130,000 to allegedly buy her silence about the purported encounter ahead of the presidential election, which Trump went on to win.

The issue later resurfaced and became part of a broader case that led to a criminal conviction in 2024.

During her testimony, Daniels described meeting Trump at a hotel suite in Lake Tahoe.

Daniels shared details of the encounter, claiming that Trump met her at the door wearing silk pajamas, only to later change into boxer shorts and a t-shirt while lying on the bed, waiting for her to join in.

She said that the two had consensual s*x, although she later claimed that the encounter left her disoriented.

Daniels further claimed that they didn't use protection and was asked to spank Trump with a magazine.

Following her testimony, she reportedly recalled facing death threats.
