Stormy Daniels Appears to Deny ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Appearance

In late July, the United Kingdom-based reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother sent a buzz through both the entertainment and political scenes by revealing that Stormy Daniels would appear on the new season of the show—for a record-breaking fee—and would even discuss her relationship with Donald Trump, as AVN.com reported. But with the new season of the reality show—which puts about a dozen celebrities in a house and films them as they attempt to co-exist in the constricted environment for weeks on end—about to premiere on Thursday in the U.K., Daniels has denied that she will have a part on the show, and her lawyer Michael Avenatti told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper that his client “has no interest in doing it. She is not going to do it.” But a source with knowledge of the situation told AVN.com that the show remains hopeful that Daniels will appear on the show after all, as negotiations are ongoing. The source said that Daniels was originally slated to spend up to 3 1/2 weeks in the “Big Brother House” for a fee equivalent to nearly a million dollars, but that when Daniels said she felt she could not commit to that length of time, her time on the show was cut to one week, for a fee of approximately $250,000. At midnight on Tuesday night, the source told AVN.com, Daniels informed the show’s producers that she would not be appearing at all. Posts to her Twitter account on Monday, however, seemed to send a clear signal that Daniels had no intention of appearing on the show—an appearance that has been reported as fact by multiple media outlets in the U.K.  “For those excitedly believing I am going on a reality show to talk about Trump, I hate to rain on your parade. That is absolutely NOT gonna happen. I never said that,” Daniels wrote on Twitter. “When will people learn? You can put a lot of things in my mouth. Words are not one of them,” she added.  According to a report by the online news magazine Newsweek, Daniels is “is scheduled to appear at Dreams, a strip club in Killeen, Texas, on August 17 and 18.” Those dates would directly conflict with dates that Daniels would be appearing in Celebrity Big Brother in the U.K. Newsweek reached out to Daniels for a comment on the Celebrity Big Brother situation but received no reply, the magazine reported. According to speculation by the U.K. newspaper Metro, “perhaps (Daniels) got cold feet after she saw this year’s batch of rumored CBB housemates, which includes the likes of Towie’s Dan Osborne, Love Island star Gabby Allen, Roxanne Pallet, as well as Cheers actress and 1980s pin-up, Kirstie Alley—who has now been accused of entering CBB to ‘recruit housemates for Scientology.’”
