‘Shameful’: Fox News hosts under fire for ‘slut shaming’ Stormy Daniels over testimony in Trump hush money trial

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: While discussing Stormy Daniels' testimony in Donald Trump's hush money trial, Fox News host Harris Faulkner and commentator Lisa Kennedy Montgomery drew criticism for their remarks. Some of their remarks were deemed "gross" and "cruel".

The hosts questioned the credibility of Daniels' claims, particularly her assertion that she felt "nervous" and "blacked out" during an alleged encounter with Trump, implying that her profession made her testimony less believable.

Fox News hosts dismiss Stormy Daniels' testimony

According to the Independent, Daniels, a pivotal witness in the trial, recounted her version of events, detailing her encounter with Trump in 2006 and the subsequent years leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

Despite her testimony, Faulkner and Montgomery seemed unsympathetic. Montgomery even offered a crude analogy involving tennis player Pete Sampras to illustrate her skepticism.

“Let’s say that the transaction did take place… Her being surprised that she was going to a hotel room along with a man to have ‘body congress’ is like Pete Sampras being surprised at being invited to a tennis court and you want to see his serve. And then he says… ‘I started shaking when I saw a tennis racket. I didn’t know what to do with it’,” said Montgomery.

"It’s very hard to believe, because that’s what she got paid to do on film. I mean, it wasn’t even like she was used to doing it in the corners of darkness. She was having sex in front of many cameras," Faulkner remarked, suggesting that Daniels' profession undermined her credibility.

Their remarks sparked outrage online, with many accusing them of "cackling and cruelty" and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about sex workers.
