Stormy Daniels Says She Canceled Strip Club Appearance After Owner Called Her Assistant Homophobic Slur: 'When Are Dipshits Gonna Learn?'

Stormy Daniels won't tolerate any form of abuse aimed at her or anyone associated with her. The Full Disclosure author canceled a strip club appearance in Florida after the club owner used a homophobic slur on her assistant.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, announced her decision to cancel the show on Instagram on Saturday. "I will NOT be performing at Goldfingers tonight because the owner called my assistant a 'f**king faggot' after asking me to do something not in my contract," Daniels wrote. "That kind of abuse will not be tolerated."

Daniels posted a photograph outside the exotic dance club as proof that she had arrived for her scheduled appearance. "Now they are saying I no showed. Clearly you can see from this photo that is NOT the case. When are dipshits gonna learn that I do not respond well to bullies?" she continued.

The club owner responded on Instagram in the comments section of Daniels's post and claimed that the adult film star had broken her contract.

On Sunday, Daniels appeared at a sex worker rights rally outside the Louisiana State Capitol Building. She and others protested a law passed in Baton Rouge that required female strippers in the state to be at least 21 years old. More than three dozen sex workers at the protest rallied against what's being called the "Baby Stripper Law," which claims the new bill unfairly targets young women and could force girls into prostitution by denying them legal work at strip clubs.

Daniels is famously involved in a long-running legal dispute with President Donald Trump and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Daniels sued the men in order to void a nondisclosure agreement regarding her alleged 2006 affair with Trump.

Daniels claimed that Trump and Cohen brokered a deal to keep her from speaking publically about the affair leading up to the 2016 election. The 39-year-old also alleged that in 2011 she was threatened by a man warning her to keep quiet about the reported affair with President Trump.

The president has denied ever sleeping with Daniels.

Daniels also sued the men for defamation, but that lawsuit was dismissed by a judge in October.
