Stormy Daniels 'Terrified' Of Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger

The adult film star's new book describes a 2006 meeting with Roethlisberger after she had an alleged sexual liaison with Donald Trump.

PITTSBURGH, PA - Ben Roethlisberger surfaces in the explosive new book by adult film star Stormy Daniels, and he is not described flatteringly. Daniels, whose book also details her alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump before he became president, said the Steelers quarterback terrified her.

CNN obtained a copy of Daniels’ autobiography “Full Disclosure,” in which Daniels describes meeting Roethlisberger in Lake Tahoe in 2006, the night after she alleges that she and Trump had sex. According to Daniels, Roethlisberger walked her up to her hotel room at Trump’s urging and asked for a goodnight kiss.

When Daniels refused, Roethlisberger pushed lightly on her door as they stood outside the hotel room. “I was terrified. I am rarely terrified,” she wrote.

After she closed the door, Roethlisberger continued to knock on her door for several minutes before finally leaving.

CNN said it did not hear back from Roethlisberger’s representative when the network requested comment on Daniels’ description of events.

The revelations are the latest in a week of controversies and blowups for the Steelers, who have an 0-1-1 record and occupy last place in the AFC North. Star wide receiver Antonio Brown was disciplined by coach Mike Tomlin after missing a team meeting Monday, and absent running back Le’Veon Bell made headlines for releasing an EP at a Florida nightclub while waiting to sign his franchise-tag contract.
