Stormy Daniels sues Trump, says hush agreement invalid because he never signed
Adult film star Stormy Daniels sued Donald Trump Tuesday, alleging that he never signed the nondisclosure agreement that his lawyer had arranged with her.
The civil suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by NBC News, alleges that her agreement not to disclose her "intimate" relationship with Trump is not valid because while both Daniels and Trump's attorney Michael Cohen signed it, Trump never did.

(51,974 posts)Shes claiming that his lawyer starting binding arbitration proceedings. Maybe hes doing other things to try to silence her.
Shes probably claiming tortious interference and would be asking for injunctive relief, at a minimum.

(3,951 posts)Think of the fact that if Trump, Cohen, et al, elect to sue her 1st for breaking the NDA, this filing gives her standing in court as the 1st claimant. It's not that uncommon for one party to file suit before the other does, especially as this has already played out in the press to some extent.
I don't remember if Cohen threatened her in public (via the press) or not but he may have done so in a cease and desist letter directed to her or her attorney. Either way, she's getting max mileage out of this w/o any harm to her....so far. It would btw be very difficult from my reading for Cohen ot counter-sue and win since he's the one who has talked up the payment.
Smart move too!

(2,389 posts)The suit attempts to quash those threats (a well known Trump tactic) and to allow her to speak freely about the year long affair. She has been somewhat circumspect in the way she talks about it now. An interview with her was published in which she gave specific details about the affair but that was before this agreement.
Basically, the porn star is outmaneuvering the best negotiator and businessman who ever lived (and keeping his money).

(17,378 posts)Heck, his own lawyer claimed that he fronted the money as a gift. How is Trump going to sue Daniels for breaching a contract that he is also claiming that he never authorized and did not sign?

If there is a signed contract then a judge or agreed upon arbitrator can decide. If the contract is not signed there are no restrictions other than the normal libel/etc.
IANAL.

Actors/actresses have different talents and physical characteristics. They can use them as they will.
Some of us are not talented in any way so I sit at my keyboard.....
