(56,198 posts)did you have sex?
yes
did you pay her?
yes
so how is this not prostitution?
ok, fine, i'm sure it's usually a cash up front kind of business, but i don't know if the rules are different for billionaires.
we also don't know if this was the only payment.
in any event, as far as we know, we're just speculating about the motives behind the payment. the only fact we have is that stormy daniels claims they had "textbook generic" sex (aside from the magazine spanking and the daughter fantasizing) and eventually wound up with money that used to be his.
it would be irresponsible to speculate further. if donnie wants to come forward and clarify that he was buying her silence rather than renting her body, that's his move.
until then, i'll just go with prostitution with a delayed payment.
