Melania Trump Called Stormy Daniels 'Porn-Hooker'; Angry Vogue Was Featuring Her, Ex-Aide Claims

Melania Trump allegedly was angry over "porn-hooker" Stormy Daniels being featured in Vogue which snubbed her when she was first lady.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania's former friend and senior adviser, claimed that the ex-first lady allegedly called her to complain about Daniels and Vogue just days after the adult film actress first publicly spoke about her alleged affair with Donald Trump in a sit-down with Anderson Cooper in March 2018.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Winston Wolkoff alleged that rather than complain about her husband, Melania seemed more concerned about Daniels getting the honor of having her pictures taken by iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vogue.

"Melania Trump called me 3/28/2018 three days after the Stormy Daniels ['60 Minutes'] Interview. You think Melania ever mentioned Donald? Nope!" Winston Wolkoff claimed.

"Melania wanted me to know that, 'Annie Leibovitz was photographing the ['Porn-Hooker'] {Stormy} for Vogue,' she said. That's Melania," the former aide added.

Daniels appeared in Vogue's October 2018 issue alongside her then-lawyer Michael Avenatti.

For the feature, Daniels rocked a royal blue Zac Posen cap mermaid gown and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

At the time, Avenatti was helping Daniels file a civil suit against Trump alleging the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) she signed was invalid because the then-president did not sign it.

During her March 2018 "60 Minutes" interview, Daniels alleged that she had sex with Trump once in 2006, just four months after Melania gave birth to the couple's only child, Barron Trump.

Daniels told Cooper she allegedly signed the NDA just days before the 2016 election and received $130,000 in exchange for her silence on her alleged affair with Trump.

The alleged encounter and payment to Daniels are now at the center of Trump's hush-money criminal trial, which is scheduled to start Monday in Manhattan.

Trump has vehemently denied ever having an affair and pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records to cover up the payment.

Meanwhile, Melania remains the only first lady in recent history not to appear on the cover of the Vogue. The former model previously made the cover in 2005 after tying the knot with Trump.

Michelle Obama graced the cover of the fashion magazine several times during her eight-year tenure as first lady.

Hillary Clinton and Dr. Jill Biden also got their own Vogue covers.

Winston Wolkoff, who penned the tell-all book "Melania & Me" after leaving the White House, first revealed Melania's alleged feelings over Daniels' Vogue photoshoot back in 2020.

During an interview on Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen's podcast, Winston Wolkoff played an alleged recording of a 2018 conversation with Melania about the adult film star's magazine feature.

"Go Google and read it," the then-first lady said in the alleged audio recording. "Annie Leibovitz shot the porn hooker, and she will be [in] one of the issues, September or October."

"What do you mean?" Winston Wolkoff asked, to which Melania allegedly responded, "Stormy."

Winston Wolkoff also secretly taped Melania in 2018 saying she doesn't care about being snubbed by Vogue and other major magazines.

"Vogue said like, 'Oh, we want to do a profile.' Profile? F**k you, profile. I don't need no profile. Yeah, what I need another profile?" Melania said in the alleged recording shared by her former aide with CNN. "It might be a cover. I'm like, 'Might be a cover? I don't give a f**k about Vogue and any magazine.'"

The former president and current Republican presidential candidate also insisted last year that his wife "doesn't care" about not getting on the cover of Vogue when she was first lady.

"It's so sad. But she doesn't care," Trump told host Megyn Kelly on "The Megyn Kelly Show" in September 2023. "She's been on the cover of the magazines for a long time, and she was on the cover of Vogue before. And she was actually very friendly with [Vogue editor] Anna Wintour. But once I ran for politics, that was the end of that. And that's OK."

In 2022, Melania called Vogue "biased" after Dr. Biden made the cover just months after moving into the White House.

"They're biased and they have likes and dislikes, and it's so obvious," Melania told Fox News. "And I think American people and everyone see[s] it. It was their decision. I have much [sic] more important things to do -- and I did in the White House -- than being on the cover of Vogue."
