Actress Mia Farrow came out in defense of adult film star Stormy Daniels after she testified against former President Donald Trump in federal court on Tuesday.
“Stormy is a strong woman who may not want to appear to be weak or a victim – – but what she described seemed very like a sexual assault,” Farrow posted to X, formerly Twitter on Wednesday morning.
One commenter had a stark response to the “Rosemary’s Baby” actress’s assessment of Daniels.
“She screws for money,” the X user replied. “One thing guys know: you can’t trust a word that comes out of a h**ker’s mouth.”
She screws for money. One thing guys know: you can’t trust a word that comes out of a hooker’s mouth.

Farrow seemed taken back by the remark and once again stood up for Stormy.
“She has a husband and a child. She made adult films,” Farrow retorted. “That doesn’t mean she is “a h**ker.” Not that there is anything wrong with that either.”
On the first day of her testimony on Tuesday, Daniels went into an unnecessary level of detail about the night she allegedly spent with Trump in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in 2006.
She described spanking the ex-president “right on the butt” with a magazine he was on the cover of, and claimed that the power imbalance between the pair caused her to engage in the “brief” encounter, which she hinted may have not been consensual.
“He was bigger and blocking the way. I was not threatened verbally or physically,” she told the court.
Her testimony kept veering into the salacious territory so often, that Judge Juan Merchan scolded the defense for not making more objections, and at times even cut Daniels off from describing specific details that were “been better left unsaid.”
He is attracted to young, pretty girls but has zero respect for women.

While the adult film star’s testimony may have had juror’s wagging their tongues at Trump allegedly posing in his underwear on the bed, and the claims that he showed her photos of Melania, experts have described her time on the stand as “disastrous.”
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said that it was “a big deal” for the defense that Daniels admitted to hating Trump during the cross-examination on Tuesday.
“When the witness hates the person whose liberty is at stake, that’s a big d— deal!” Honig commented.
“And she’s putting out tweets, fantasizing about him being in jail. That really undermines the credibility.”
“The fact that she owes him $500,000 by order of a court, owes Donald Trump a half million dollars, and said, ‘I will never pay him. I will defy a court order,’ the defense is gonna say, ‘She’s willing to defy a court order. She’s not willing to respect an order from a judge. Why is she gonna respect this oath she took?’ So, I thought it went quite poorly on cross-exam,” Honig added.
Daniels also claimed the pair discussed the behind the scene’s details of the adult film industry, with Trump firing off questions including, “Are there any unions? Do you get residuals? How do you get paid? Do you get health insurance? What about STDs?”
At one point the 45th president suggested that she appear on his then-reality show, “The Apprentice,” and compared her to Ivanka Trump when she told him how people don’t believe she has a brain.
“You remind me of my daughter,” he allegedly remarked.
“He compared the woman he was about to have sex with to his daughter. What a loathsome pig he is. On every level,” Farrow accused in a follow-up post on Wednesday afternoon.
“Trump has no morality, no integrity, no principles, no love for anyone but himself – and money.”
“He is attracted to young, pretty girls but has zero respect for women,” she added in response to her own post.
Fellow Trump hater comedian Kathy Griffin, who was cancelled for posing with a paper mache version of Trump’s bloody, severed head in a 2017 photo shoot, also came to Daniels’ defense this week.
L.A. Times senior legal analyst Harry Litman tweeted that the adult film star’s testimony would “sorely test Trump’s ability to comply” with Judge Merchan’s gag order.
Stormy does not and will not lie. Believe her. https://t.co/Vw6DEjR1GM

“[Couldn’t] be a more direct accusation of a longstanding lie, mroe or less to his face from 30′ away,” Litman wrote on Tuesday morning.
“Stormy does not and will not lie. Believe her,” Griffin retorted.
