MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Stormy Daniels has denounced the way she was handled in court, saying that Donald Trump's female defense attorney, Susan Necheles, "slut-shamed" her.

Daniel's bombshell testimony played a key role in the conviction of the former president in the hush money case. 

Stormy Daniels was horrified by the treatment of Trump lawyer Susan Necheles

Stormy described how she was horrified by the way she was treated by Necheles, who attempted to claim that she had made up her vivid account of having sex with the former president by pointing to her career in the adult industry, according to The Mirror.

She expressed, "How bad to have a woman get up there and try to slut shame a woman. I can't imagine that anyone else would say otherwise. She actually had the nerve to argue what I do makes my testimony less valuable. It was both insulting and demeaning."

Daniel apparently received $130,000 from Trump's then-attorney, Michael Cohen, prior to the 2016 election at the behest of his boss to keep mum about their affair, which dated back to 2006. 

During Daniel's testimony, Necheles attempted to paint her as someone who was driven by hatred and greed, with their exchanges growing progressively heated.

Stormy Daniels was accused of using hush money deal to blackmail Donald Trump

Necheles claimed Daniels was trying to extort money from Trump using the hush money deal. However, the prosecution's key witness replied, "False."

In retaliation, Necheles said, "That's what you did, right?" leading Daniels to repeat, "False."

At one point, in hopes of pointing out inconsistencies in the allegations, Necheles asked Daniels about her history of working in adult films, saying, "You have a lot of experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real." 

"Wow," responded Daniels after a pause, adding, "That’s not how I would put it. The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room."

Daniels expressed how many people still believe it was her case against Trump. To then, she says, "I wasn't the prosecution."

She added, "I can't tell you how many tweets I got a day telling me that I should drop the case. It was not my case to drop. New York State brought it, not me. Like I have no control over this?"

When the 45-year-old took the stand during the six-week trial, she revealed graphic details of the night she allegedly spent with Trump following a celebrity golf tournament in 2006.

Stormy Daniels' testimony played a key role in Donald Trump's conviction

Daniels provided some of the most compelling testimony exposing Trump's alleged extramarital affair, which led to a New York jury finding him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records on Thursday, May 30.

The former president is due to be sentenced on July 11 and could spend up to four years in prison.

Though taking the stand was difficult, Daniels found solace in the proof she provided. Now that the trial is over, she is back on her ranch, spending time with her loved ones and her horse, Leo.

"My life now is my husband, daughter, and competing with my horse, Leo," remarked Daniels, adding, "I'd like to bid for mainstream acting success, and I'm filming a thriller movie and a comedy series. It is thankfully a world away from the courtroom," she said.

Stormy Daniels wanted to take the stand to prove that she had been telling the truth the entire time

While speaking about how she faced the jurors, Daniels said, "It was so intimidating being in front of the jurors and lawyers all looking at me, but I'm glad the stuff I wanted came out in court. I wanted to prove I'd been telling the truth the entire time."

She stressed, "I was telling the truth that I was not paid for sex. It was not a prostitution job. I was not an escort. I was not a prostitute. It was consensual. That was one of the biggest things for me, that I'm not a liar. All I did was give the REAL truth to the questions I was asked. Think about that for a moment. You had to hear me talk about it. I had to live it." 

Daniels mentioned, "I get asked a lot like if you could go back and do it again, would I? And I say how far back because if I go all the way back, I would not have gone to his hotel room. I get asked if it was worth it to speak out and stand up to being bullied and to clear my name, and most of the time, I say, 'Yes.'"

Stormy Daniels received hateful messages

Every day, Daniels is bombarded with messages, ranging from "the hottest woman ever" to "whore."

She explained, "Every day, it is nonstop, and there's no middle ground. There's no person who doesn't have an extremely strong opinion either way. The most horrific ones talk about breaking into my house and raping all of my family in front of me before they slit my throat."

Since the verdict, the abuse has escalated and she has been accused of inciting tensions so high that her actions could lead to violence not seen since 1861.

"I received one message the other day that said, 'How does it feel to know that you're the cause of the Civil War?'" disclosed Daniels. 

The verdict took her by surprise and she said, "I didn't think the verdict was going to be so fast. I really didn't." Daniels hopes Trump will be locked up. 

With a touch of humor, she noted, "Locking him up isn't the same as locking up anybody else. It's not like he's going to suffer the same way. And we already know he loves orange. Orange is the new orange."
