Stormy Daniels Description Of ‘Terrifying’ Encounter With Ex-Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger At Trump Trial Raises Eyebrows

Adult film star Stormy Daniels recently mentioned former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during her testimony in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan.

During her 2006 sexual encounter with Trump, which Trump allegedly paid her to remain quiet about, Daniels testified that Trump had told her she reminded him of his daughter, Ivanka. She said she was uncomfortable with the power imbalance in the encounter and blacked out while they were having sex. 

Daniels said that she was with Trump again the next day for an event. They met at a nightclub restaurant at the hotel she was staying at, and Trump was with Roethlisberger when she arrived. 

During the encounter, she tried on Roethlisberger’s Super Bowl ring, which she said was so large that two fingers could fit into it. At the end of the interaction, Trump asked Roethlisberger to walk Daniels to her room. 

Daniels has also previously mentioned Roethlisberger in her book Full Disclosure. She wrote that she was “terrified” when Roethlisberger “pushed lightly on her door as they stood outside her hotel room” and asked for a “good night kiss.” 

Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault two other times in 2009 and 2010. A settlement settled his 2009 accusation, and his 2010 accusation led to a six-game suspension for breaching the NFL’s code of conduct. However, this suspension was later reduced to four games.
