Daniels’ Unusual Comparison During TV Interview
During her appearance on the late-night show, the 46-year-old expanded on a passage from her memoir that had already gone viral for its vivid description.
In the book, she wrote about her alleged encounter with Trump, recalling: “I lay there, annoyed that I was getting f***ed by a guy with Yeti pubes and a D like the mushroom character in Mario Kart… It may have been the least impressive s** I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion,” cited by Rolling Stones.
Kimmel leaned into the moment during the interview by bringing out a display featuring several different mushrooms and asking Daniels to pick which one she believed closely resembled Trump.
“Can you hold it up so it’s coming at me at the correct angle?” Daniels quipped before picking one of the smallest mushrooms.
She also addressed the backlash that followed her remarks.
“Do you know how much hate mail I’ve gotten from people who love Mario Kart?
“In one day, I managed to ruin half of America’s childhood and mushroom farming everywhere.”
The ex-adult star also opened up about how the alleged encounter began, revealing that the two met at a golf tournament and that Trump invited her to dinner in his hotel suite.
She claimed he answered the door wearing ‘silky [black] pajamas,’ adding: “I’m pretty sure I thought he was channeling Hugh Hefner – but significantly less sexy.”
However, she said the dinner she was promised never happened.
“Like, he lied to me,” she said.
“I’m very food-motivated. That’s why I stayed and held out for so long because I was told there would be snacks. I was starving!
“Maybe that’s part of why I was easy prey because I was light-headed.”
The interview also revisited another moment from her story in which she said she spanked Trump with a magazine featuring his own photo on the cover.
During the show, she even reenacted the moment with Kimmel.
