Former adult film actress Stormy Daniels, involved in the alleged affair with former President Donald Trump, is urging his wife, Melania Trump, to divorce her husband. After 19 years of marriage, Melania has been absent from Trump’s side as he underwent several legal battles reading the hush money scandal with Daniels.

Melania’s absence has sparked rumors about the couple’s marriage. Trump’s Manhattan trials were reportedly “embarrassing” for the women in his family, including his daughter, Ivanka Trump. The former First Lady has shied away from public appearances after the death of her mother in January. In recent months, Melania has stepped out more for events, even hosting one for Log Cabin LGBTQ Republicans.

After a 12-person jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of fraud, Daniels is encouraging Melania to leave her husband now that he is a convicted felon, not because of the affair. Trump and Daniels allegedly became involved one year after Trump married the Slovenia native.

“I don’t know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him,” Daniels told the U.K. paper The Mirror. “Not because of what he did with me or other women, but because he is a convicted felon. It’s been proven he is abusive; he was found liable for sexual assault and tax fraud and is now a criminal. He’s neither Teflon Don nor Teflon Con anymore.”

While Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have expressed their anger at the verdict and support for his father, Melania and Ivanka have taken a quieter approach.

On social media, Ivanka uploaded a childhood photo of her and Trump with the caption, “I love you, Dad.” Melania has yet to make a public statement. However, Trump claimed his wife was “fine” in a recent television interview and that it was “tougher on my family than it is on me.”

After the jury delivered Trump’s verdict, Daniels’ attorney, Clark Brewster, spoke on her behalf, saying it “hit her hard.” Brewster added that Daniels did not express any “true happiness” but was more relieved that the trials were over.
