Porn legend Jenna Jameson offered her two cents on reports that Donald Trump had an affair with her XXX colleague Stormy Daniels on Wednesday, and offered her own encounter with the future president of the United States while she was at it.
Replying to a Twitter user who asked her, “Do you believe the story of The Presidents [sic] fling with the Storm?” Jameson responded, “It’s just stupidity. Whether he screwed a pornstar while married or not, will not change a thing. We all knew who Trump was when we elected him. His penis size is irrelevant to his fan base. The dems need to refocus.”
Jameson also suggested that Daniels should have “kept her trap shut,” and that the Trump story could amount to “career suicide.”
“Great PR for the porn star though,” one Twitter user wrote to Jameson. “Her name will be published in every lefty news source possible and her Google hits will go through the roof.”
“I actually think it’s career suicide. The left looks at her as a whore and just uses her to try to discredit the president,” Jameson replied. “The right look at her like a treacherous rat. It’s a lose lose. Should have kept her trap shut.”
Asked if she thought the story about Daniels and Trump was true, Jameson spilled about her own run-in with Trump which she said occurred in 2006 — the same year that Daniels reportedly met Trump.
“I can say this… I first met Donald Trump in 2006 in my ‘prime’ by the pool at the Beverly Hills hotel. I was in a bikini and he was so unbelievably respectful,” Jameson tweeted. “He told me he thought I was incredibly smart and thought I had an incredible business acumen.”
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Daniels was paid $130,000 in hush money to keep quiet about the alleged sexual encounter in October 2016. Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen stated that the adult film performer denied the accusations. But WSJ reporters were not able to verify that directly with Daniels.
On Wednesday, In Touch Weekly ran a years-old interview in which Daniels reportedly detailed her relationship with Trump.
“[The sex] was textbook generic,” Daniels said, in an interview that In Touch chose not to run in 2011. It “was nothing crazy. It was one position, what you would expect someone his age to do.”
Neither the White House nor Daniels responded to TheWrap’s request for comment. But Trump’s lawyer once again told In Touch the president “vehemently” denies “any such occurrence, as has Ms. Daniels.”
It’s just stupidity. Wether he screwed a pornstar while married or not, will not change a thing. We all knew who Trump was when we elected him. His penis size is irrelevant to his fan base. The dems need to refocus. https://t.co/2jn3qGhQWf

'After Porn Ends': What 9 Porn Stars Did After Their Careers Ended (Photos)
What do porn stars do when their lives in the adult film industry end? That's the question at the heart of documentary filmmaker Bryce Wagoner's 2012 film "After Porn Ends," its two sequels. The film looks at the tragedies and successes of people who left an industry that famously uses up young talent. Some have no regrets about their years in the industry. For others, a career in the adult industry has proven to be a conduit to certain despair.
Here are their stories, as told to TheWrap by Wagoner.
Johnnie Keyes
He wasn't the first black adult performer, but he was the first black porn star. Coming from poverty, he enlisted in the Army and became a champion boxer, then used the G.I. Bill to get a drama degree and star in musicals. After a chance casting in the iconic 1972 adult film "Behind the Green Door," he found himself on the shores of Cannes and a cultural icon. Eventually retiring to raise his family, Johnnie is now an accomplished jazz singer and runs a youth outreach basketball camp with his son in Seattle.
Lisa Ann
Starting as a stripper in Pennsylvania, Lisa used porn to further her dancing career and was a well-known performer for 15 years before the opportunity of a lifetime: appearing in a parody of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin that catapulted her to porn superstardom. She parlayed her media appearances into hosting her own fantasy sports radio show on Sirius XM.
Ginger Lynn
Her "girl next door" look made her the face of XXX films in the 80s and early 90s. Starting in bikini contests and taking the advice of famed photographer Suze Randall, she played the adult business by her rules, commanded the largest salary in porn, and got out exactly when she wanted to. After studying acting at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, she earned roles in "Wing Commander," "American Pie: Band Camp," "The Devil's Rejects," and "31." She has become as much an icon in the Comic-Con world as she is in the adult industry.
Janine Lindemulder
A one-time softball star with college scholarship offers, Janine found her way into adult through a modeling ad. Her porn career led to a wildly success career as an exotic dancer. She retired to marry and have a daughter with Orange County Choppers star Jesse James -- but after a brutal custody battle, she went to prison for owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes. After getting out, she moved to the Oregon Coast to get her life back on track.
Tabitha Stevens
One scene kicked off an entire 20-year career for the former Vegas dancer, who holds the record for most porn star appearances on "Howard Stern." She also became a regular on "Doctor 90210." She and her husband run a fine-art photography gallery in Utah.
Brittany Andrews
She knew that she wanted to do porn to further her own business interests, and made her own line of videos and distributed them herself. After getting some mainstream cred by posing in Playboy Magazine, she learned to be a DJ and now plays all over the world, booked by the DJ agency Skam Artists.
Darren James
James began his path to XXX films as a Navy veteran from the streets of Detroit. He tried to join the LAPD but was waitlisted due to budget cuts. Not knowing where his next job was coming from, he tried porn and became a prolific performer. But after taking a big contract in Brazil, he wound up infected with HIV. He is now a public speaker who advocates for those living with the disease.
Chasey Lain
Lain began as a dancer and became one of the highest-paid performers in XXX. But after struggling with the changing economics and structure of the adult business, she turned to working as an escort at the world-famous Bunny Ranch. She's now saving money to go back to school and start her life over.
Georgina Spelvin
She began as a Broadway dancer and actress. When the work dried up, she got a job on an adult film as a caterer -- and then starred in the director's next film, 1973's "The Devil in Miss Jones." which would go on to be one of the most successful XXX movies of all time and would come to be considered an adult classic. She eventually took an office job and retired with her pension (and love of her life) 20 years later in Hollywood.
"After Porn Ends 2" delves deeper into social stigma, race, misogyny, and the reality of decreasing opportunities for former adult film stars. And the third film, directed by Brittany Andrews, came out in 2018.
