Adult film star Stormy Daniels said she was threatened in 2011 when she attempted to sell the story of her alleged affair with Donald Trump. Appearing in her first on-air interview regarding the affair, she told “60 Minutes” on Sunday that she feared for her life after a man accosted her and her infant daughter while they were in Las Vegas.

“A guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,’” said Daniels. “And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone.”

Daniels had previously agreed to sell the story to a tabloid magazine for $15,000. However, Daniels never received the money and the publication didn’t run her story. The deal fell through after Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, threatened a lawsuit against the magazine.

Daniels said was too afraid to call the police and report the incident, and she never saw the man again.
