Amid ongoing legal entanglements involving former President Donald Trump, Stormy Daniels and her husband, Barrett Blade, see potential expatriation on their horizon.
Barrett Blade discussed the couple's plans to potentially exit the United States should the outcome of the NY v. Trump trial favor the former president, Fox News reported.
Daniels, an adult film actress, alleges she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. The core of the case revolves around a $130,000 payment made to Daniels, purportedly to prevent her from discussing the incident. Trump has refuted these claims and pleaded not guilty to the accompanying charges.
During the trial, Daniels testified about her alleged encounter with Trump at a Lake Tahoe hotel, including humor and tangential details Judge Juan Merchan called "unnecessary." This has added to the trial's spectacle, attracting public and media attention.
The case has incited a media frenzy and revived memories of past celebrity threats to leave the U.S. over Trump's political rise. Celebrities like Chelsea Handler and Samuel L. Jackson made similar threats but stayed in the country.
Blade's CNN interview highlights a decision heavily dependent on the trial's outcome. "If it’s not guilty, we might leave the country," he noted, showing the personal impact of political and legal battles.
This sentiment reflects broader divisiveness and uncertainty in American social and political life. Whoopi Goldberg's reaction on "The View" to Trump's mockery of her past remarks about fleeing the U.S. underscores ongoing tension and polarized opinions.
Despite uncertainties, Blade remains focused on the future for himself and Daniels. "I don’t see it as a win either way. We want to move on… she wants to move past this," he expressed, showing a desire for resolution and normalcy.
