The trailer for Stormy, the Stormy Daniels documentary, came out last week in advance of the film's premiere at South by Southwest on Friday. And next week, you can watch it on Peacock when it starts streaming March 18. The trailer illustrates how "chaotic" Daniels' life has been since her relationship with Donald Trump became public knowledge and her legal battles with him began, per the Hollywood Reporter. And in the documentary itself, she alleges that on the night she first met Trump, he cornered her in his hotel room as she emerged from the bathroom—a change from 2018, when she said the encounter was consensual, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"I don't remember how I got on the bed, and then the next thing I know, he was humping away and telling me how great I was," she says in the film. "It was awful. But I didn't say no." She says that while she continues to maintain it was not rape, "To this day, I blame myself and I have not forgiven myself because I didn't shut his a-- down in that moment, so maybe make him pause before he tried it with someone else." Per Yahoo News, a Trump spokesperson said in a statement, "The only thing Stormy Daniels can be relied upon is to change her story when there's money to be made. ... This 'documentary' is simply a last chance, low-budget fantasy sequel for a has-been pseudo-celebrity. She has once again opened herself up to tremendous legal liability and will soon be held to account." (More Stormy Daniels stories.)
