The idea that working in porn automatically makes you a liar or amoral is deeply offensive, and a vestige of antiquated attitudes about sex work and what women, in particular, should and should not do with their lives.
When Donald Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles tried to discredit the adult film actor Stormy Daniels on the stand during Trump's hush money trial earlier this week, she took this absurd position: Assume a sex worker has no integrity. “You have a lot of experience making phony stories about sex appear to be real?” Necheles asked. “Wow,” Daniels said. “That’s not how I would put it. The sex in the films is very much real, just like what happened to me in that room.
At issue in the court case is whether Trump falsified business records to cover up what prosecutors say are reimbursements of hush money payments made to Daniels in an illegal attempt to influence the 2016 election. Trump denies the whole thing, including that he had sex with Daniels. So her credibility is something his lawyer wants to chip away at.
